Ramada Worldwide by Wyndham debuts in Vietnam with beachfront resort

The 241-key Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip will be part of Vietnam's first integrated resort

Owned and developed by Ho Tram Project Company Limited, Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip will be an exceptional upper-midscale seafront hotel located within the Ho Tram Strip—Vietnam’s first integrated beach resort destination which covers 164 hectares and a 2.2km beachfront site.

The hotel, which is currently under construction and is expected to open in late 2019, is located less than two hours from the nation’s largest metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport. It will also be only 60km from the planned Long Thanh International Airport, set to become a major air gateway for Vietnam and the entire ASEAN region.

Ramada Worldwide by Wyndham will bring world-class hospitality and trusted quality to Vietnam’s mid- and upper-midscale sectors. Guests will discover the brand’s international amenities and impeccable services complemented by regionally-inspired designs, local flavours, and personalised touch. With nearly than 850 locations spanning 64 countries, Ramada is one of the world’s most recognised hotel brands and a preferred choice of global travellers.

Vietnam is a key focus market for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. The company, which currently operates the Wyndham Legend Halong Bay, plans to open six new hotels and resorts under its Wyndham Grand, Wyndham, and Wyndham Garden brands over the next three years.

“Vietnam is one of the world’s most dynamic tourism destinations. The country attracted 7.9 million international visitors in the first half of 2018, putting it firmly on course for yet another record-breaking year—potentially exceeding the previous record of 12.9 million visitors achieved in 2017. To cater for this strong demand, impressive new developments are rising all across the country, including the Ho Tram Strip—Vietnam’s first and largest integrated resort,” said Joon Aun Ooi, president and managing director, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Southeast Asia and Pacific Rim.

“Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip is a spectacular new project that will add to the diverse attractions and amenities in this impressive development. The debut of Ramada in Vietnam will also present travellers with a trusted brand in the upper-midscale sector, blending world-class amenities with local touches to create authentic guest experiences. With its idyllic seafront setting and close proximity to Ho Chi Minh City, I am confident that Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip will become popular among domestic and international travellers alike,” Ooi added.

Nestled on 5.3 hectares of beachfront land, Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip will be 12 storeys high, ensuring spectacular sea views from many parts of the property. The 198-key hotel will include seven two-bedroom penthouses and 36 three-bedroom villas, making the hotel ideal for families.

Water elements will be integrated into the hotel design, providing a relaxing backdrop to every stay, with two tropical outdoor pools, reflective ponds, and a water-lined walkway to the beach. Other hotel facilities will include a spa, a gym, two restaurants, a pool bar, and meeting rooms. Guests will also be able to access the facilities and attractions of the surrounding Ho Tram Strip, including a convention centre, a casino, a shopping precinct, multiple restaurants and bars, and The Bluffs, an 18-hole links-style championship golf course designed by Greg Norman which is rated among the top 100 golf courses in the world. A brand new water park is also under construction as well as an amphitheatre seating up to 2,000 people.

Michael Kelly, executive chairman of Ho Tram Project Company Limited, commented, “Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip is the newest and most exciting addition to the Ho Tram Strip. The Ramada brand is renowned in the hotel industry for exceptional service, making it the perfect partner for our world-class project. We look forward to working together with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as we prepare for our opening late next year.”

Once open, Ramada by Wyndham Ho Tram Strip will participate in Wyndham Rewards®, the simple-to-use, revolutionary loyalty programme from Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Consistently named the best travel rewards programme by US News and World Report, Wyndham Rewards® is the world’s most generous loyalty programme offering members a simple earning structure of a guaranteed 1,000 points for every qualified stay, along with a flat, free night redemption rate of just 15,000 points per room per night—the first of its kind for a major rewards programme.
