ACCOR is ramping up its presence in Vietnam with the debut of its first ibis property in the country and the addition of 16 new hotels by 2015.
The newly opened ibis Saigon South in Vietnam rounds off the group’s portfolio that caters to all market segments from economy to luxury. The 160-room hotel offers flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi Internet access and facilities such as a restaurant and a bar.
To further expand its network in Vietnam, Accor has signed three additional hotels in Danang, including the rebranded 186-room Pullman Danang Beach Resort, the 90-room Ba Na Hills, a member of the MGallery Collection, and the 372-room Mercure Danang French Village Ba Na Hills.
Gaurav Bhushan, chief development and investment officer, said: “Vietnam provides continued promise for Accor, (which) has operated in the (country) for 21 years and have developed a sound portfolio of hotels. With healthy growth prospects, we will see the network expand to just short of 30 hotels by 2015.”
When completed, the 16 new properties will add another 4,047 guest rooms to Accor’s Vietnam hotel network.
