The InterContinental Hotels Group has taken legal action against James Packer‘s casino group for using the name Crown Resorts.
According to the hotel group, Packer’s Crown Resorts is named similarly to Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, which it counts as one of its hotel brands.
InterContinental wants Packer’s casino company to change its name in order to avoid confusion among customers of Crowne Plaza.
The UK-based hotel group is also throwing legal shade on Crown Resorts’ properties, including Crown Sydney, Crown Perth, Crown Hotels, Crown Spa, and Crown Poker.
