Marriott International and Vinpearl have partnered for two hotels in Can Gio, part of a wider tourism and urban development in southern Vietnam.
The Ritz-Carlton, Can Gio and Can Gio Marriott Hotel are expected to provide about 700 rooms alongside facilities for leisure, wellness and events. The projects are located in Can Gio, a coastal district of Ho Chi Minh City known for its mangrove biosphere reserve.
The site is around 50km southeast of central Ho Chi Minh City and is expected to be connected by a new expressway by 2028-29. The hotels will form part of the Can Gio Coastal Urban Tourism Area, a 2,870-hectare development that includes hotels, residences, a theme park, golf facilities and convention and wellness centres.
Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup, is managing the project and coordinating development and operations with Marriott.
The Ritz-Carlton, Can Gio will be a nine-storey hotel on a riverfront site, with about 250 rooms, suites and villas ranging from 50m² to 500m². Facilities are set to include six dining venues, two swimming pools, a spa, fitness centre and meeting space.
The Can Gio Marriott Hotel is planned as a 25-storey property with about 450 rooms and suites ranging from 40m² to 160m². Facilities are expected to include dining outlets, a pool, spa, fitness centre and about 1,570m² of meeting and event space, including two ballrooms.
The development is supported by infrastructure projects including the Ben Thanh–Can Gio high-speed rail, Can Gio Bridge and other transport links.
Gautam Bhandari, chief development officer, Asia Pacific Excluding China, Marriott International, said: “Beyond transforming destinations, these developments can support local economies by creating meaningful employment opportunities, fostering skills development, and contributing to the long-term growth in Vietnam. We are excited to introduce The Ritz-Carlton and our flagship brand, Marriott Hotels to Can Gio, the coastal area of Ho Chi Minh City.”
Ngo Thi Huong, CEO, Vinpearl, added: “Enhancing the guest experience in Can Gio through the world class hospitality of The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Hotels marks a strategic step in bringing global luxury service standards to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio. Beyond developing global branded hotels, we aim to build a fully integrated service ecosystem where residents and visitors can enjoy world class hospitality standards right here in Vietnam.”
