Minor expands Vietnam portfolio with Hanoi signing
The group signed a management agreement with Trading Construction Works Organization to operate Avani+ Hanoi, a 310-key hotel in Hanoi’s Bach Mai Ward, as part of a mixed-use precinct anchored by Hinode City, a new lifestyle mall, alongside 1,099 residential and serviced apartments.
Minor Hotels currently has four properties under its Anantara and Avani brand in Vietnam – Anantara Hoi An Resort, Anantara Mui Ne Resort, Anantara Quy Nhon Villas and Avani Quy Nhon Resort – along with luxury train carriages, The Vietage by Anantara.
Avani+ Hanoi extends the group’s footprint into one of Vietnam’s key metropolitan areas and establishes the group’s first property in the nation’s capital of Hanoi.
The premium lifestyle hotel will include an indoor swimming pool and deck, a fitness centre, all-day dining and specialty restaurants along with meeting and function spaces. The hotel’s central location caters to corporate travellers, long-stay and leisure guests.
“This is our first branded hotel in a major Vietnamese city, and the central Bach Mai Ward is the right place to start. Avani+ Hanoi’s prime location gives us a genuine hub in the capital, with strong appeal to both business and leisure travellers seeking a well-connected urban base,” Minor Hotels, Chief Development and Luxury Officer, Omar Romero said.
“This agreement marks the beginning of a long-term partnership with Minor Hotels and reflects our shared vision of bringing international hospitality standards to Hinode City. We are confident that Avani+ Hanoi Hotel will set a new benchmark for premium hospitality in Hanoi while creating lasting value for guests, investors and the wider community,” Vo Toan Cong, Chairman of Gerbera-II Hospitality One Member Company Limited, a subsidiary of Trading Construction Works Organization.
