Scheduled to open in early 2010, the new hotel will be known as Crowne Plaza West Hanoi and will be part of a US$65 million mixed-development complex. The complex will also feature an upmarket commercial centre and luxury serviced apartments.
The Crowne Plaza West Hanoi will be located next to the National Stadium and Sports Complex and near the National Convention Centre, the Underwater Sports Centre and a high-end residential, commercial, retail and entertainment hub.
Jan Smits, chief operating officer, Southern Asia and Korea, IHG Asia Pacific, said, “Hanoi is fast gaining a reputation as a business and meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions travel destination and Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts as an upscale brand for business meetings and social interactions is well-positioned to meet the needs of this expanding market.”
Hanoi is expected to attract two million international travellers and seven million domestic visitors by 2010. The capital city saw a 14% increase in tourist arrivals to 665,000 in the first half of this year.
IHG has a development pipeline of four hotels in Vietnam. InterContinental Hanoi Westlake is scheduled to open in November this year with another three hotels slated for opening in 2009. These include the Crowne Plaza Danang, InterContinental Asiana Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City and the InterContinental Danang Resort on the Son Tra Peninsula.
