Marriott has expanded its partnership with Vinpearl,
one of Vietnam’s largest
hospitality and leisure chains, signing an additional seven hotels, comprising more than 2,500 rooms.
The seven hotels add
to the eight announced in 2022, when Marriott first partnered with Vinpearl.
With this latest deal, Vinpearl is set to be Marriott’s largest owner in Vietnam
with 15 hotels and resorts.
“We are delighted to continue working
together and leveraging our strategic collaboration with Marriott
across Vietnam,” said Juergen Doerr, CEO
Vinpearl. “The pioneering values that are shared by our
respective organizations fit well together, and the international
power and scale of the Marriott brand provides a great platform to
drive international awareness to some of our key destinations
across Vietnam.”
Of the seven newly-signed hotels
and resorts, three are conversions that are expected to join the
Marriott system later this year:
– Nha Trang
Marriott Resort & Spa, Hon Tre Island (pictured) is expected to feature 829
rooms – 403 rooms and suites, plus 426 two, three and
four-bedroom private villas, each with a private pool. Guests will
be able to choose from multiple F&B outlets, including Marriott
Hotels’ signature Greatroom lobby lounge, and a pool bar.
Facilities will include three meeting rooms, two pools, two tennis
courts, a fitness center and a spa.
– Renaissance
Hoi An Resort & Spa will open
following a strategic rebranding and marks Marriott International’s entry into Hoi An, the elegant UNESCO-listed port
town. The resort is slated to feature 193 rooms and
suites, 25 private villas, two restaurants, two bars, an outdoor
infinity pool, a spa, fitness center and two floodlit tennis

tennis courts, and a water sports center.
Four new
builds comprising more than 1,200 rooms are expected to open by
2028, including the Bac Ninh Marriott Hotel. Expected to open in
2026, the hotel is slated to be Marriott International’s debut in
the northern province of Bac Ninh, close to Hanoi. The hotel plan
includes 275 rooms and suites, five F&B outlets including a sky
bar, a swimming pool, fitness center and Quan Spa. Expected to be
the new destination for out-of-town events, the hotel is slated to
feature a 691-square meter ballroom and two other meeting spaces.
“This signing marks
another milestone in our collaboration with Vinpearl, and we are
delighted to strengthen our collaboration with these additional signings,”
said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific
Excluding China for Marriott International. “With new locations
earmarked in important tourism hubs such as Danang and Nha Trang,
our anticipated inaugural resort in the popular cultural town of
Hoi An, and the anticipated first internationally branded
five-star hotel in Bac Ninh, we are well-positioned to meet
Vietnam’s diverse hospitality needs in primary, secondary and
tertiary destinations.”
Marriott International currently operates 16 hotels
and resorts in Vietnam, with a strong development pipeline. In the
coming years, debuts of several brands are expected in
the country, including The Ritz-Carlton, Westin Hotels & Resorts,
