IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with Ha Long Bay Hotel Joint Stock Company to create a spectacular new resort in Halong City.
Slated to open in 2023, Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay will cut a striking figure in the city’s skyline with its towering architecture. The 208-key property is situated within a mixed-use development project, amidst resort apartments and a retail podium.
Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay will offer three restaurants and bars, over 1,300 square metres of meeting space, an adult-only infinity pool, an indoor kids’ adventure pool, a fitness centre and spa.
“We are excited to partner with Ha Long Bay Hotel Joint Stock Company – an affiliate of Global Invest JSC – to develop our flagship Holiday Inn Resort in Halong Bay,” comments Serena Lim, Vice President, Development for South East Asia and Korea, IHG.
“Its opening in 2023 will herald a new era of fun for the whole family in Halong City – a concept we know is in high demand and is reflected in our decision to open three Holiday Inn Resorts in the country – Ho Tram, Halong Bay and Sapa – in the next three years.”
Mr. Nguyen Ba Tien, President, Global Invest JSC, adds: “Since the pandemic began, we have seen Vietnamese families rediscover travel in their own backyards. This has offered a boost to destinations such as my hometown of Halong City, which is no longer just a transit point to Halong Bay but instead quickly becoming a top leisure destination in its own right.
“Located centrally in Halong City, Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay will be the perfect base for travellers as they enjoy everything our mixed-use development has to offer. With outdoor adventures, scenic landscapes, theme parks and beaches, as well as best-in-class convention centres, within easy reach there will be something for everyone in this vibrant destination.”
With 13 hotels in Vietnam, mainly in the luxury and lifestyle segment with the Six Senses Hotels, Resorts & Spas and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brands, Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay continues IHG’s expansion into the mainstream travel segment and joins a pipeline of 19 hotels across seven brands.
