Two hotels to open in Halong Bay

Two hotels, Sheraton Halong Bay Resort and Four Points by Sheraton, will be developed in the World Heritage Site Halong Bay, Vietnam. The hotels are under an agreement between Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc and Royal International Corporation on May 18, 2007 in Singapore.

 

Four Points by Sheraton is expected to open in early 2008 and the Sheraton Halong Bay Resort will open in 2010. Four Points by Sheraton’s facilities will include 160 rooms, 4 restaurants and lounge, 2 meeting rooms, a gym, spa and indoor swimming pool.  Sheraton Halong Bay Resort will feature 300 rooms, with 4 restaurants and lounge, a gym, outdoor pool and spa, as well as over 1,500 square metres of meeting space.  Both hotels will be developed on a 12ha site, on a gently sloping hillside offering guests breathtaking views of Halong Bay.

 
The two-hotel project further strengthens the position of Starwood as one of the largest international hotel chains in Thailand and the Indochina region (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos). Starwood currently operates 13 hotels in the region, and 11 more are under development in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, Angkor and now Halong Bay.
