“We are delighted to continue expanding our portfolio in Vietnam, particularly in the luxury space. Vietnam is a growing market for luxury travel, with rising demand from both international and domestic sectors. For overseas guests, Vietnam’s status as a destination with many natural and cultural wonders makes it ideal for visitors seeking one-of-a-kind experiences. The country’s domestic market interested in luxury travel is driving a rise in demand for global luxury brands. These signings further underscore our commitment to the future of hospitality and luxury in Vietnam,” says Menon.
JW Marriott Trang An Resort & Spa
Slated to open in 2028, JW Marriott Trang An Resort & Spa is being developed by Bitexco Group, which also owns the JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi. Nestled amid lush wetlands and verdant hills, this luxury retreat includes plans for 150 spacious rooms and suites, plus a collection of 35 one- and two-bedroom villas, with options for private pools. The hotel is slated to feature 850 sqm of event space, comprising a 500 sqm ballroom and two meeting rooms.
The Luxury Collection Resort, Hon Thom Island

Located on the northwest coast of Hon Thom Island, this luxury resort expects to feature 305 rooms and suites, ranging from 50 to 250 square meters and includes family accommodations. Six restaurants and bars will offer diverse dining options, and 1,690 sqm of flexible event space includes a 900 sqm ballroom and three smaller function rooms.
Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Hon Thom Island
Also expected to open in 2028 and slated to be designed by Bill Bensley, the new Ritz-Carlton Reserve is set to offer a complete escape and immerse visitors in a private world of luxury and natural beauty.
