Marriott International has announced a strategic agreement with Vinpearl, a Vietnamese hospitality and leisure chain, to convert and develop 2,200 rooms across eight hotels in Vietnam—significantly expanding its portfolio in the country. This collaboration expects to see the debut of the Autograph Collection hotels brand in the country, while other planned openings span the following brands: Marriott Hotels, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, and Four Points by Sheraton.
Of the eight hotels, six are conversions that are expected to be part of Marriott’s system later this year.
Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection is expected to serve as Vietnam’s first Autograph Collection hotel. The lifestyle hotel will join a collection of over 260 independent hotels around the globe hand-selected for their perspective on design and hospitality.
