IHG Hotels & Resorts will debut two luxury and lifestyle brands in Vietnam this year by introducing Hotel Indigo and Vignette Collection to the market as part of its growth strategy.
Lifestyle brand Hotel Indigo will soon welcome guests to the heart of Ho Chi Minh City as Hotel Indigo Saigon The City.
Luxury and lifestyle brand Vignette Collection will also make its debut in the country with an upcoming hotel in Hoi An, situated near the famous UNESCO World Heritage site in the historic Central Coast city.
By introducing both brands, IHG says it is responding to the growing demand for hotel stays in Vietnam.
Last year, there were 108 million domestic trips within the country, and Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City remains one of the world's top 10 busiest air routes.
Internationally, Vietnam remains popular with visitors from the United States, South Korea and China.
With international arrivals reaching 4.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 and surpassing 2019 levels, Vietnam is targeting 18 million visitors this year.
In addition to introducing these two brands in Vietnam, next year IHG will open InterContinental Halong Bay Resort in Ha Long City, its first property in the area, which will be followed by the Holiday Inn Resort Halong Bay in 2026.
IHG also plans to introduce its InterContinental brand to the Thanh Xuan Valley within Vinh Phuc City, its first valley tourism project in Vietnam, in the coming years.
IHG has 18 hotels open in Vietnam across six brands: Six Senses, Regent Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, voco Hotels and Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts.
The group says it is on track to double its portfolio in the country by 2028 with the opening of at least 26 more hotels.
