“This signing builds on the strong presence IHG has developed in Central Vietnam in recent years, which has included the successful opening of voco Ma Belle Danang. It’s the latest milestone for our business in the country and strengthens our offering in Central Vietnam by adding to our existing three hotels, featuring more than 1,000 rooms in total.
“There’s plenty more to come, too, as we double the size of our portfolio from 16 hotels to more than 40 in the next few years, introduce more brands and deliver more fantastic stay experiences for the region.”
As the commercial centre and transport hub of Central Vietnam, Danang aims to become a market leader for business travel in the Asia-Pacific region, which is forecast to be worth about USD$800 billion by 2027.
Rui Xiang Chin, Board Chairman, Regis Bay Vietnam Investment Joint-Stock Company said: “Thanks to its central location, ease of access and world-class facilities, we’re confident Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre will quickly become a hotel of choice for business and leisure travellers. Having seen IHG’s success in Danang, and its upcoming properties in Hoi An, we believe the company’s strong in-market experience, global systems and enterprise will prove invaluable to driving performance and returns on this property.
“We look forward to working with IHG to make Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre a huge success when it opens later this year – the first chapter of what we’re sure will be a long and prosperous long-term partnership between us.”
Danang, known as the ‘city of the sea’, is the fourth largest city in Vietnam. With its magnificent mountainous coastline and picturesque beaches, its calm, cool waters provide an idyllic setting for activities including fishing, water-skiing, diving, and yachting.
