Wínk Hotels announces first 2 projects in VN
Wink Hotels has confirmed its first two projects in the country - one in HCM City and the other in the central city of Da Nang.
Wink Hotels, a visionary brand run by the Indochina Vanguard Hotels group, has confirmed its first two projects in the country - one in HCM City and the other in the central city of Da Nang.
The hotel site in HCM City is located at 75 Nguyen Binh Khiem Street, a rapidly growing area within District 1, the city’s central business district. Scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of next year, the hotel will consist of 226 rooms. Demolition of the existing structure at the site is currently underway, and the development and hotel management teams are in the process of refining the design and completing other critical pre-development procedures.
The Da Nang hotel site is located at 178 Tran Phu Street, in the heart of the city’s business and entertainment district. The 243-room hotel will feature a sky lobby and offer spectacular views of Han River, Hai Van Pass and Son Tra Peninsula. It is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2020.
The two sites have been formally handed over to owner-developers ICC-Kajima, the real estate development arm of Indochina Capital, the United States’ leading Viet Nam-based property developer. Formed in joint venture with Kajima Corporation, Japan’s most prolific overseas real estate developer, the group’s core mandate is to develop innovative and high-quality projects throughout Viet Nam. Wink typifies the ICC-Kajima approach.
“Indochina Capital has always been bullish in the hospitality market in Viet Nam, as evident from The Nam Hai, Six Senses Con Dao and Hyatt Regency Da Nang,” Indochina Capital CEO Peter R. Ryder said. “The roll-out of Wink Hotels will add to the group’s portfolio of past and present hospitality projects, introducing a novel hotel concept ---Viet Nam’s first international hotel brand --- that will redefine traditional hospitality norms,” he added.
The affordable luxury hotels in HCM City and Da Nang will be the first two of a targeted 20-plus Wink Hotels to be developed, opened and operated throughout Viet Nam and neighbouring Indo-China countries by the end of 2023. — VNS
