Marriott International to take reins of Legacy Mekong Can Tho in June

Marriott International and Nova Hotel & Resort World (NovaGroup), on February 19, signed a strategic partnership to manage, develop, and operate the Legacy Mekong Resort in Can Tho city

Legacy Mekong is considered a “peach blossom paradise” in the heart of the city. Guests can enjoy a private, luxurious retreat with 60 well-appointed rooms and five secluded villas nestled beneath a canopy of mangrove forests, harmoniously blended with nature.

To prepare for the move, Marriott International and Nova Hotel & Resort World (NovaGroup) signed a strategic partnership in late February. This is a significant milestone, marking Legacy Mekong's adoption of the Legacy Mekong Autograph Collection brand, officially managed by Marriott starting June 1. The partnership promises to deliver world-class and refined resort experiences, blending the cultural identity of the Mekong Delta's waterways with international standards.

The collaboration with Nova Hotel & Resort World enables Legacy Mekong to join the Marriott Bonvoy system, becoming one of the premier resorts managed by Marriott International. It will also serve as a new destination for over 228 million Marriott Bonvoy members worldwide.

Legacy Mekong – a green oasis on the global tourism map

With more than 9,300 hotels across 144 countries, Marriott International is a global leader in hotel management, renowned for its exceptional service standards and extensive international clientele.

Nguyen Ba Luan, general director of Nova Hotel & Resort World said, “Partnering with Marriott International is a strategic step forward for Nova Hotel & Resort World – a member company of NovaGroup – to conquer the high-end resort market. With the support of the world's most prestigious hotel management company, we are confident that Legacy Mekong will elevate its brand and quickly become an attractive new destination in the region.”

Beyond a resort, Legacy Mekong is part of NovaGroup's sustainable tourism development strategy, featuring a diverse ecosystem that includes real estate, tourism, entertainment, and services. This collaboration with Marriott International elevates service standards and significantly contributes to the robust development of tourism in the Mekong Delta.
