Movenpick opens in Vietnam

Swiss hotel chain Mövenpick is to open two hotels in the Vietnamese cities of Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. The company's first move into Vietnam came about after the takeover of two existing five-star hotels, which will reopen under the Movenpick brand by the end of 2008, following renovations.

"We are proud of the fact… we will very soon be gaining a foothold in Vietnam too, after Thailand and Singapore," said Jean Gabriel Pérès, president of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

"Once the renovations are completed, we will have two exceptional city hotels here, tailored precisely to the needs of our guests."

The 251-room Mövenpick Hotel Saigon will be in the Phu Nhuan district of Ho Chi Minh and will have three restaurants and two bars, besides an outdoor pool, fitness centre, sauna and spa.

The Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi - formerly the Guoman Hotel Hanoi – is in the business centre of the city with 150 rooms, a restaurant and a bar.

It will also offer a fitness centre with sauna and massage facilities.

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts currently has 80 hotels in 25 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
