IHG Hotels & Resorts will introduce Hotel Indigo and Vignette Collection in Vietnam this year with the launch of Hotel Indigo Saigon The City in Ho Chi Minh City, and the upcoming Vignette Collection hotel in Hoi An, which is situated close to the famous UNESCO Heritage Site in the historic central coast city.
In addition, IHG will also open its first property in Ha Long City with InterContinental Halong Bay Resort, followed by Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay in 2026. The company also plans to introduce its InterContinental brand in Thanh Xuan Valley within the city of Vinh Phuc – its first valley resort project in Vietnam – within the next few years.
Paul Cunningham, senior director, operations, South-east Asia and Korea, IHG, said: “Our growth in Vietnam is buoyed by a positive outlook for travel in the country, where domestic demand remains strong and international demand continues to grow, especially within Asia thanks to its growing middle class and expanding GDP. With new flight routes from major cities including New Delhi, Manila, Sydney and Munich set to further increase demand, we have strong aspirations for our growth in the market.”
He added: “With 18 hotels and 26 properties in the pipeline, we’re seeing many great new opportunities for growth in Vietnam as we enter new destinations including Ha Long Bay, Hoi An and Vinh Phuc.”
