The Vinpearl Can Tho Hotel, the first five-star hotel in the southern city of Can Tho, was inaugurated last weekend, becoming the tallest building in the Mekong Delta region.

Vinpearl Can Tho Hotel, with 30 floors and a three-story lobby, is the ninth hotel in the chain of Vinpearl-branded tourism hotels owned by Vingroup – a Vietnamese property developer.

The 120-metre-high hotel also offers a high-end restaurant, entertainment, and health and beauty care services.

The 262-room hotel is located in a hotel–trade centre–shopping complex that is the largest in the Mekong Delta region.

The chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, Vo Thanh Thong, said Can Tho, located in the centre of the Mekong Delta, is considered an ideal destination for both domestic and foreign tourists to explore the unique waterways of the southwestern region.

He noted that Vingroup’s construction of the hotel conforms to the city’s tourism plans, adding that with its high-quality services, the hotel will help attract tourists and fuel the city’s development. — VNS
