Patrick Basset, Accor’s senior vice president for Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and the Philippines, said the hotel was previously named the Hanoi Horizon Hotel and upgraded with a cost of US$15 million. However, this amount is just an initial investment in the process of upgrading the 242-room hotel, he added.
According to Patrick Basset, Vietnam is regarded as a potential market as statistics showed that the number of international tourists coming to Vietnam grew by 12% last year and was forecast to rise by 6% this year.
Accor currently manages 15 hotels, but there are 17 more hotels to be put under its management that are under construction or having their brands changed.
Accor’s long-term strategy is to expand its presence in the market, said Basset.
