VIETNAM | IHG has partnered with Cangio Tourist City Corporation to introduce IHG brands to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio in Vietnam.
IHG Hotels & Resorts and Cangio Tourist City Corporation, the developer of Vinhomes Green Paradise, have entered into a strategic partnership to introduce IHG’s hotel brands to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio (Ho Chi Minh City). This collaboration lays the foundation for a world-class coastal mega urban development, gradually positioning Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio on the global tourism and resort map.
Under the agreement, IHG will develop a portfolio of four hotels with more than 1,000 rooms at Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio. These include InterContinental Saigon Can Gio with 400 rooms, Crowne Plaza Saigon Can Gio with 400 rooms, Holiday Inn Express Saigon Can Gio with 130 rooms, and Garner Hotel Saigon Can Gio with 130 rooms.
Among them, InterContinental Saigon Can Gio will join the world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand and deliver world-class luxury hospitality experiences, targeting high-end international and domestic travellers. Crowne Plaza Saigon Can Gio, will join one of the world’s largest premium hotel brands, and will be designed for frequent travellers and modern leisure needs, featuring flexible spaces optimised for productivity and connectivity.
Holiday Inn Express Saigon Can Gio and Garner Hotel Saigon Can Gio will offer smart, high-quality stays, expanding accessibility to a broader range of travellers. The announcement also marks the official debut of Holiday Inn Express and Garner brands in the Vietnam market.
Holiday Inn Express Saigon Can Gio and Garner Hotel Saigon Can Gio are expected to commence operations from 2028, followed by InterContinental Saigon Can Gio and Crowne Plaza Saigon Can Gio in 2030.
Under this partnership, Vinpearl, a member of Vingroup, manages and directly executes the collaboration with IHG, while coordinating closely with all relevant parties throughout the project’s development and operational phases.
Together with Vinpearl’s internationally recognised hospitality brand, the addition of four premium IHG properties will contribute to a 7,000-room accommodation ecosystem at Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio, supporting year-round demand for longer, experience-led stays in Can Gio and Ho Chi Minh City.
The hospitality offering will be complemented by a range of large-scale leisure and entertainment attractions at Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio, including a 122-hectare VinWonders theme park featuring the world’s tallest artificial snow mountain and nearly 200 attractions, the 5,000-seat Song Xanh Theatre, the 800-hectare Paradise Lagoon, the five-star international cruise port Landmark Harbour, and two 18-hole international-standard golf courses. These developments are expected to position Can Gio as a global tourism and resort hub, with a target of welcoming 40 million visitors annually, on par with leading destinations in Vietnam and worldwide.
“This agreement marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between IHG and Vingroup, one of Vietnam’s leading private conglomerates. Bringing four of IHG’s renowned brands to Vinhomes Green Paradise Can Gio reflects the breadth of our portfolio and underscores our strong commitment to supporting Vietnam’s ambition to become a leading global tourism destination,” said Rajit Sukumaran, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for East Asia and Pacific, IHG Hotels & Resorts.
“With brands spanning multiple segments, we are confident this partnership will deliver an integrated hospitality ecosystem that meets the diverse needs of travellers at one of the largest developments in Vietnam today.”
Vinhomes Green Paradise is a large-scale coastal urban development in southeastern Ho Chi Minh City with a total area of 2,870 hectares, bordered by the sea on three sides and adjacent to the UNESCO-recognised Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve.
The development benefits from strong transport connectivity, including the Ben Thanh – Can Gio high-speed railway, which will reduce travel time from central Ho Chi Minh City to just 13 minutes, along with Can Gio Bridge, the Rung Sac – Ben Luc–Long Thanh expressway interchange, and the Can Gio – Vung Tau coastal route, enabling travel between two major tourism hubs in 10 minutes.
Vietnam continues to be a strong growth market for IHG, with 23 open hotels and a pipeline of 20 properties across the country. This agreement further strengthens IHG’s presence in Vietnam and reflects its continued focus on expanding in key destinations and supporting the country’s ambition as a leading global tourism destination.
