HCM CITY — IHG Hotels & Resorts has expanded its hotel management portfolio in Việt Nam by signing an agreement with Nha Trang Bay JSC, a member of the GreenSpark Group.

It will manage the voco Scenia Bay Nha Trang – By IHG that will open around the end of this year. 

The 250-unit property will offer panoramic sea views from its 28 floors once completed in the city known for its pristine white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters in addition to fresh seafood.

voco hotels is IHG’s fastest growing premium brand, and is quickly growing in popularity with leisure and business guests in the country.

There were the recent openings of voco Ma Belle Danang – By IHG and the first ever resort under the brand, voco Quang Binh Resort – By IHG. 

Trần Đức Long, general director of Nha Trang Bay JSC, said: “Travel is a major industry in Việt Nam and it is showing consistently strong growth as evidenced by the six million tourists who visited the country in first quarter of this year, the highest-ever quarterly figure.

“This makes it a great moment to introduce new destinations for travellers to explore and visit outside of gateway cities – just as we’re doing with voco Scenia Bay Nha Trang – By IHG.”

Less than an hour’s drive from Cam Ranh International Airport, voco Scenia Bay will be located within Nha Trang JSC’s largest real estate construction, part of an up-and-coming tourism masterplan development designed to unlock the area’s enormous growth potential. 

voco Scenia Bay has a swimming pool, restaurant, bars and meeting facilities.

It will be IHG’s fourth hotel in the region, joining InterContinental Nha Trang, InterContinental Residences Nha Trang and Six Senses Ninh Vân Bay.

Việt Nam continues to be a strong growth market for the company, with 20 hotels across eight brands scattered across the country. — VNS
