Two new Marriott hotels for Vietnam
Marriott International is to open two luxury hotel brands in Vietnam in 2014 under a management agreement with Vietnamese-American Hotel and Resort Limited Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITC Spectrum, LLC.
The 100-villa Vinh Hoi Bay-A Ritz-Carlton Reserve will be the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the country and the 320-room JW Marriott Vinh Hoi Bay Resort & Spa the third such. Construction on both properties is expected to begin in early 2012. The Vinh Hoi Bay-A Ritz-Carlton Reserve is planned to have three restaurants, a lounge/bar in the lobby and a second lounge on the beach. Facilities will include a spa with eight treatment rooms, a yoga/meditation pavilion, a hair and beauty salon, a fitness centre and a swimming pool. A wedding chapel is also being provided, plus 200sq m (2,100sq ft) of function space.
The JW Marriott Vinh Hoi Bay Resort & Spa is to feature a mix of guest rooms and suites and will offer four restaurants, a lobby lounge and bar, a spa with 10 treatment rooms, a hair and beauty salon, three swimming pools and a fitness centre, and 960sq m (10,300sq ft) of meeting space. Both resorts will be located on Vinh Hoi Bay, around 25km north of Quy Nhon, on Vietnam's central coast.
They will be part of a 325-hectare (1.25sq miles) oceanfront, fully-integrated, mixed-use development which will initially include three resorts, including the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott properties, an 18-hole championship golf course, residential villas, a retail village, an arboretum and other recreational amenities. Later phases of the development will feature three additional resorts, more residential properties, an equestrian centre and a marina.
