Radisson Hotel Group announced that it is continuing to expand its presence in Vietnam with several new projects scheduled to open and be signed during the 2025-2026 period.

According to the company, the group currently manages and operates 14 hotels with more than 3,100 rooms in Vietnam. This portfolio spans from Hanoi and Ha Long to coastal resort destinations such as Ho Tram, Vung Tau, and Van Phong Bay.

Mr. Ramzy Fenianos, Director of Asia Pacific Development at Radisson Hotel Group, said that Vietnam is one of the group’s key markets in Southeast Asia thanks to its tourism growth, increasingly improved infrastructure, and demand for international accommodations.

In 2025, two hotel projects, Radisson Resort Mui Ne and Radisson Blu Hotel Ha Long Bay, commenced operations. Notably, the Ha Long Bay hotel, with 352 rooms, was the group’s first rebranded project in Vietnam.

In Hanoi, the Radisson Hotel Westlake Hanoi project was signed in March 2025. The project comprises 182 rooms and is located within a multi-functional complex in the West Lake area. According to the company, the basement has been completed and the model apartment is operational.

In the same year, Radisson also added a resort project at Dong Mo Lake with 108 rooms. The resort is being developed on an island in the middle of Dong Mo Lake and is currently in the final stages of conceptual design.

In 2026, the group signed two new projects in Vung Tau with a total capacity of 430 rooms, including the Park Inn by Radisson brand, making its debut in Vietnam.

In addition, the Radisson Collection Hotel Ha Long is completing construction after the main structure was finished. Several other projects in Ho Tram and Van Phong Bay are also continuing as part of the group’s long-term development plan.

According to Radisson Hotel Group, expanding its project portfolio in Vietnam is part of the company’s growth strategy in Southeast Asia, focusing on tourism and resort markets with potential for development in the coming years.

The race to expand presence in Vietnam is heating up in the international hotel industry.

Marriott International, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Accor, and many other international brands are all aiming to increase their hotel numbers in the coming years, particularly in coastal resort markets and major cities.

This reflects the expectations of international operators regarding the growth rate of Vietnam’s tourism industry in the medium and long term.
