Marriott to launch Courtyard by Marriott brand in Vietnam
23 April 2010
Marriott International is to launch its moderately-priced Courtyard by Marriott brand in Vietnam, under a management agreement with CY – Ham Tan Resort Limited Company.
The 200-room hotel is slated for opening in 2012.
“We’re thrilled by the continued expansion of our presence in Vietnam and to be introducing our Courtyard brand in Vietnam,” said Ed Fuller, president and managing director of international lodging for Marriott International. “With the opening of this hotel, we’ll be able to offer travelers in Vietnam a choice of four hotel brands from luxury to mid-priced. The World Travel & Tourism Council forecasts that Vietnam tourism over the next 10 years will grow to more than seven million visitors annually, twice what it was in 2007, and we are positioning ourselves to be able to offer these visitors a hotel stay no matter what their travel budget dictates.”
Courtyard is Marriott’s largest brand; 200 additional Courtyard by Marriott hotels will open around the world over the next three years.
Marriott International currently manages two properties in Vietnam: the Renaissance Riverside Saigon Hotel and the New World Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Three properties are currently planned or under construction. They include the 450-room JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi and the 250-room Nha Trang Marriott Hotel, both of which are scheduled to open in 2013. The 271-room JW Marriott Danang Resort is expected to open in 2014.
Marriott recently announced plans to open 10 hotels globally under its luxury JW Marriott brand.
