Deal struck for eight Ibis hotels

Accor, the largest international hotel operator in Viet Nam, announced on Wednesday a partnership with the Benthanh Group that will develop a network of at least eight economy “Ibis” hotels in the country’s major cities.

Earlier this year, the Benthanh Group had commenced construction of the Ibis Sai Gon Centre in HCM City’s District 1. The centre is expected to become operational in 2012.

“We see significant potential for expansion in the economy hotel sector in Viet Nam and intend to secure a prominent presence in this segment of the hotel industry throughout the country” said the group’s general director, Nguyen Quang Tien,

Accor operates 11 hotels in Viet Nam under the Sofitel, MGallery, Novotel and Mercure hotel brands. Additional hotels committed to development include three Pullman Hotels, one MGallery, three Novotel, three Mercure and two Ibis hotels.
