(26/08/24) IHG has signed an agreement with Hai Thanh Hung
Investment and Vietnam Royal Investment and Construction (VRIC)
for two hotels in Quang Binh province, Vietnam.
The deal covers the 68-villa voco Quang Binh
Resort and 232-room Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre, both of
which are expected to open in 2025.
“Quang Binh has traditionally been a domestic-led
destination with a great opportunity for growth. Its magnificent
beauty includes Son Doong Cave – the largest cave in the world and
home to towering stalagmites – underground rivers, a jungle with
wildlife, and an 116-kilometre-long coastline with picturesque
beaches such as Nhat Le and Da Nhay,” said Thang Hoang, CEO, Hai Thanh
Hung Investment Joint Stock Company and Vietnam Royal Investment
and Construction, “The entry of voco hotels and
Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts in Quang Binh will elevate the
attraction of the destination for travellers to stay and explore
its many wonders.”
Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre is expected to open late-2025
Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre will be
situated within Royal Landmark, a mixed-used development that
includes a commercial centre.
It will be a 15-minute drive from Dong
Hoi Airport (VDH), a 45-minute flight from Hanoi Noi Bai
International Airport (HAN) and within easy reach of Tan
Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Saigon.
With a prime riverfront location situated close to
government and commercial offices in Dong Hoi, facilities at the
hotel will include four restaurants and bars, meeting spaces,
swimming pool, fitness centre, spa, Kids Club and an executive
lounge.
The voco Quang Binh Resort will offer travellers a
private beach with beautiful sea views and facilities including
two restaurants and bars, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, kid’s
club, spa and resort centre.
“It is wonderful
to be expanding into Quang Binh – an exciting new destination for
IHG in Vietnam. We continue to grow in Vietnam and will more than
double our size in the next few years to more than 40 hotels
across the country,” said Chris Anklin, Senior Director,
Development, South East Asia and Korea, IHG. “Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre, centrally
located in the city centre will offer purposeful spaces for work
and leisure that appeal to the modern traveller while voco Quang
Binh Resort with its thoughtful, unstuffy and charming experience
will become a leading beachfront resort in the area. This
destination debut will strengthen the presence of our brand
portfolio in Vietnam, offering stay experiences for every type of
traveller.”
Vietnam continues to be a strong growth market for
IHG, with 18 hotels across six brands: Six Senses, Regent, InterContinental,
Crowne Plaza, voco and Holiday Inn, with 26 properties in the pipeline. The company aims to
grow its estate across all brands in the country, including the
