Accor keeps faith in Vietnam

Tuesday, 17 Mar, 2010 0

HO CHI MINH CITY – Accor will double the number of rooms under management in Vietnam by 2012.

Its expansion will be led by the Novotel and Mercure brands, along with the launch of the ibis and MGallery brands.

“Vietnam has always been considered as one of the strategic markets in Southeast Asia for Accor,” said Patrick Basset, Accor vice president operations for Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea and Japan.

In late 2010, Accor also anticipates the opening of the first Pullman hotel in Vietnam – Pullman Vung Tao and the second MGallery hotel for Vietnam: Hotel De L’Opera Hanoi.

Beyond this, additional developments include three Novotels while Mercure Hanoi Hado will be the third Mercure for Vietnam.

The first two ibis hotels will be in Ho Chi Minh City – ibis Saigon and ibis Saigon South.

Accor currently has 13 hotels and 2,147 rooms in operation throughout Vietnam and more than 2,000 additional rooms committed with the new developments.

“Accor has confidence in Vietnam’s continued economic stability and growth,” Basset said.
