IHG Hotels & Resorts has teamed up with construction and investment firm Bao Quan Co., JSC to open first international hotel in Vietnam’s Vinh Yen city.

The new 170-room hotel, Crowne Plaza Vinh Yen City Centre, will open next year.

It is located 30 minutes from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport.

The signing of the management agreement between the parties comes ahead of the South-east Asian Games, which is scheduled to start in mid-May 2022.

IHG South East Asia & Korea development vice-president Serena Lim said: “This hotel, with its convenient location and Crowne Plaza’s work/life blend experience, is ideally placed to act as both the centre of the community and the venue where everything happens.

“Modern travellers and visitors will benefit from the hotel’s design, which offers a seamless transition between work and downtime. It also complements IHG’s strategy to support the governmental masterplan to grow in industrial locations.”

Crowne Plaza Vinh Yen City Centre will feature a signature Plaza Workspace lobby, an executive lounge, business corner, and flexible working areas.

Other guest amenities will include Club Lounge, outdoor pool, gym, and spa.

It will also offer multi-function rooms, including 850m2 ballroom and two food and beverage venues.

Lim added: “It’s fantastic to partner Bao Quan Co, JSC to bring the Crowne Plaza brand to Vinh Yen. The Covid-19 pandemic has shifted the future of work, and the future of meetings, blending work and leisure needs. The desire for human connection is stronger than ever as travellers look to rebuild professional and personal relationships.”

Vietnam is home to 14 IHG hotels across four brands, with additional 15 properties in the pipeline.

In August this year, the company revealed its plan to add 39 hotels to its portfolio in India over the next three years.
