InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), The Ascott, Centara Hotels & Resort under Central Group are the leading international hotel management brands in the world – an outstanding value that brings success to any real estate project.

As part of the development strategy of the Halong Marina mega-city, in order to create a new heritage for future generations, cooperation with the world's leading corporations in hotel management and operation is a smart move by investor BIM Land – a member of the multidisciplinary economic group BIM Group.

Guarantee the ideal life in Halong Marina

For a long time, The Ascott has been a well-known name for many tourists. This Singapore-based Group is known as the king of operating international serviced apartments with three main brands: Ascott, Somerset and Citadines. Currently, The Ascott owns more than 45,000 serviced apartments across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, along with more than 30,000 apartments under construction.

Citadines Marina Halong is one of the few international-branded resort projects in Hạ Long.

The Ascott Limited has joined hands with BIM Land, one of Viet Nam's largest real estate developers, to launch Citadines Marina Halong. The project is located on the peninsula of Halong Marina.

Citadines Marina Halong is one of the few international real estate projects with an international brand name in Hạ Long. With the design by Archetype Group, 100 per cent of the apartments have a "heritage vision". The project offers a variety of utilities such as a sky bar, indoor pool, infinity pool, restaurant, supermarket, gym, playground and smart parking system. Citadines Marina Halong focuses on the core values honouring the beauty of the heritage. The project is expected to be handed over to customers in the first quarter of 2020.

The next big brands in the international cooperation list

Pursuing the creation of a new legacy for future generations and continuing the strategic journey of "cooperation with giants", in 2019, a series of big names in hotel management industry will continue to be implemented by BIM Land in Halong Marina.

In the third quarter of 2019, the Grand Bay Halong project – a five-star entertainment resort complex adjacent to the Gulf coast stretching over 1km, embracing the expansive view of the seafront, will be launched in Quảng Ninh Province.

Also located on the peninsula of Halong Marina, the Grand Bay Halong project is a five-star complex including resort hotels and residential villas, in which the luxury resorts and villas will be managed and operated by the prestigious brand Centara Hotel & Resort, a well-known hotel management group known for luxury projects around the world such as in the Maldives, Oman and Sri Lanka. This is the first model of resort and villa living in Quảng Ninh Province which is managed and operated by an international reputable management unit.

Grand Bay Halong - A five-star entertainment resort embracing an expansive view of the heritage.

In the first phase in October 2019, the Grand Bay Townhouse will be launched with 106 adjacent villas providing residents with a unique lifestyle – “Home Resort: Living inside the Resort.”

The Grand Bay Halong five-star entertainment resort complex is designed by WATG – one of the world's leading design consultants with over 70 years of experience in the hospitality industry.

In addition, in 2019, another big name expected by real estate investors is the five-star InterContinental Halong Bay project. This will be the most advanced project in Hạ Long-Quảng Ninh to date. The project marks the long-term cooperation between BIM Land and the world's leading hotel management group IHG.

Prior to this, BIM Land and IHG cooperated and gradually put into operation a series of five-star hotels in Laos – Crowne Plaza Vientiane and Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Vientiane, in Phú Quốc with InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort and Regent Phu Quoc.

It is not easy for a resort real estate project in Việt Nam to receive the nod of a world-class management corporation. These corporations are very strict in choosing projects for development. They not only require projects with good locations, but also need to be invested carefully according to their own standards. Only potential investors with strong international visibility are bold in implementing this cooperation strategy.

The cooperation with the world's leading corporations to operate hotel and resort management is the long-term development strategy of Halong Marina–- a metropolis in the heart of the heritage site.

The selection of world-class management brands helps BIM Land to guarantee the success of its large-scale real estate projects, attracting investors and visitors, especially those from overseas.

The biggest benefit when hiring foreign managers is ensuring the source of guests. Currently, some domestic companies can manage medium-sized hotels, but luxury and large-scale hotels that want to be crowded and sell at high prices must target international visitors.

The cooperation with a series of world-famous brands proves the outstanding capabilities of BIM Land Joint Stock Company. With a land fund of 5.6 million sq.m stretching across many provinces in Việt Nam and reaching Laos, which focuses on the two major real estate resort capitals, Hạ Long (Quảng Ninh) and Phú Quốc (Kiên Giang), BIM Land owns an impressive portfolio of development projects, especially in the luxury resort real estate segment, selected by many of the world's leading hotel brands as partners.
