Indochina Kajima Development Limited (Indochina Kajima), a joint venture between Indochina Capital and Kajima Corporation, one of Japan’s largest general contractors and overseas real estate developers, started the construction of Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre in Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City.

Situated in a prime location in Can Tho’s central business district, the project will appeal to young-at-heart business and leisure travellers. In addition, it has excellent access to the central business district, local government offices, and Ninh Kieu Wharf and Park, which are home to Can Tho’s key F&B, retail, and entertainment attractions.

Designed by the Parisian architectural firm AW2, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre comprises 214 Wink hotel rooms and 24 Wink suites (serviced apartments) within a stunningly designed 19-story tower of approximately 12,700sq.m.

“When travelling to Can Tho, tourists and business travellers will enjoy the natural beauty of the Mekong Delta, in addition to the culture, customs and cuisines of the city’s vibrant and dynamic central business district. We have carefully selected each Wink Hotel site in locations with historical significance and access to modern amenities, respecting Viet Nam’s heritage while embracing its rapidly evolving social and economic identity. Wink Hotel Can Tho embodies these ideals, and through the design of the hotel and the activities available during operations, we plan to promote the best of Can Tho for international and domestic guests to explore and enjoy”, said Peter Ryder, Chairman of Wink Hotels and CEO of Indochina Capital.

Keisuke Koshijima, Representative Director and Executive Vice President of Kajima Corporation: “Can Tho has many favourable conditions for tourism development. The heart of the Mekong Delta is a key tourist attraction for local and international travellers, given its vast river networks and cultural and historical significance. Besides its natural beauty and rich cultural history, Can Tho is the economic centre of the Mekong Delta, which has a population of over 20 million people and is a focus of Viet Nam’s overall growth plans. However, the city still lacks modern and high-quality accommodations to meet the growing demands of business travellers and tourists. When completed, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre will set a new benchmark for hospitality and tourism in the city, taking advantage of the need for an international standard hotel.”

With its long-term vision and unwavering commitment to investing in Viet Nam’s hospitality market, Indochina Kajima has announced a pipeline of 20 hotels to open within the next five to seven years. After Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre officially breaks ground, Ha Noi, Binh Duong and Vung Tau will be the next destinations for Wink developments, followed by second properties in both Ha Noi and HCM City. — VNS
