IHG Hotels & Resorts is strengthening its position in Vietnam with two new properties designed to serve the country’s growing luxury leisure and premium business travel markets.
The international hospitality group has signed an agreement with real estate developer Meraki Land to introduce Regent Ho Tram and Crowne Plaza Saigon Binh Duong. Together, the projects will add 441 hotel rooms while expanding accommodation options near Ho Chi Minh City and across one of southern Vietnam’s fastest-developing urban regions.
Regent Ho Tram is scheduled to open in 2032 with 220 rooms, suites and villas on a secluded beachfront setting. Crowne Plaza Saigon Binh Duong is expected to welcome guests in 2029 with 221 rooms inside a premium mixed-use development in Thuan An.
The agreement also includes branded residences, reflecting the increasing role of luxury lifestyle developments in Vietnam’s hospitality landscape.
Regent Ho Tram Targets Luxury Beach Travelers
Regent Ho Tram will become the second Regent property in Vietnam, joining Regent Phu Quoc. The resort will also expand IHG’s presence in Ho Tram, where the group already operates InterContinental Ho Tram and Holiday Inn Resort Ho Tram.
Positioned less than two hours by car from central Ho Chi Minh City, the resort is designed to appeal to affluent domestic travelers, international visitors and guests seeking a combined city-and-beach holiday.
The development will include 110 suites, 30 Skyvilla Suites with private pools and 80 villas ranging from two to four bedrooms. Every villa will feature its own pool, creating a high level of privacy for families, couples and groups planning longer coastal stays.
Guests will also have access to restaurants, bars and wellness experiences. The resort’s location near The Grand Ho Tram Strip and The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram Golf Club will support itineraries centered on beaches, dining, wellness and golf tourism.
The development will include 95 Regent-branded residences, adding another layer to Ho Tram’s expanding luxury property market.
Ho Tram Gains Greater Tourism Visibility
The arrival of Regent Ho Tram could strengthen the destination’s appeal to international travelers looking beyond Vietnam’s established coastal hotspots.
Ho Tram offers convenient access from Ho Chi Minh City while maintaining a more relaxed seaside atmosphere. Its beaches, resorts and golf facilities make it suitable for weekend escapes, extended holidays and premium leisure experiences.
Improved road connectivity is also expected to support tourism growth. The resort will benefit from highway access to Long Thanh International Airport, which is scheduled to open in 2027.
For the local visitor economy, a new luxury resort can generate demand across transport services, restaurants, wellness providers, tour operators and other hospitality-related businesses.
Crowne Plaza Saigon Binh Duong Supports Business Travel
Crowne Plaza Saigon Binh Duong will serve a different segment of the market. Scheduled to open in 2029, the 221-room hotel will be located in Thuan An within a mixed-use development featuring commercial facilities, retail spaces and high-end branded residences.
Binh Duong is one of Vietnam’s largest industrial regions, with more than 30 operational industrial parks and an additional 19 under development. The presence of multinational companies creates consistent demand for corporate accommodation, meetings and extended business stays.
The hotel will feature three restaurants, a fitness center, an outdoor swimming pool and more than 1,000 square meters of meeting space across six rooms.
Its location is expected to appeal to domestic and international business travelers seeking convenient access to industrial parks, shopping destinations and Ho Chi Minh City. The property will also sit less than an hour from Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
Vietnam Hospitality Pipeline Continues to Grow
IHG currently operates 24 hotels in Vietnam and has another 19 properties in development. The two new signings demonstrate how the group is expanding across both established resort destinations and high-growth urban markets.
The partnership with Meraki Land also deepens an existing relationship. Meraki Land owns Moire Hoi An, Vignette Collection, and is a founding shareholder of Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre.
By adding a luxury beachfront resort and a premium business hotel, IHG is targeting two important drivers of Vietnam’s tourism economy: leisure demand and corporate travel.
New Hotels Reflect Vietnam’s Expanding Tourism Appeal
Vietnam continues to attract travelers with its beaches, cities, cuisine, cultural heritage and growing aviation links. At the same time, industrial regions such as Binh Duong are creating fresh opportunities for premium accommodation outside traditional tourism centers.
Regent Ho Tram and Crowne Plaza Saigon Binh Duong reflect this changing hospitality landscape. One property will deliver secluded beachfront luxury, while the other will support business activity in a rapidly developing urban area.
Together, the hotels will expand visitor choice, support local economic activity and reinforce Vietnam’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic hospitality markets.
