Marriott International recently unveiled JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi. The property is the JW Marriott brand’s third to open in Asia within the past two months (others in Bengaluru and New Delhi).

“Hanoi has earned itself a coveted spot as a must-visit destination for travellers and we are thrilled to join the city in this exciting time,” said Mitzi Gaskins, Vice President and Global Brand Manager, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts. “Of the over 30 hotels in our current pipeline, 50 per cent are in Asia, which speaks to our commitment to investing in dynamic markets like Vietnam,” Gaskins added.

The 450-room, 75,000 sq mtr JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi is a ‘reverse skyscraper’ designed by acclaimed architecture practice Carlos Zapata Studio.  The impressive structure was inspired by the country’s magnificent coastline and evokes characteristics of a dragon – a modern interpretation of a symbol from Vietnam’s past.

“It gives us great pleasure to introduce the JW Marriott luxury brand to Vietnam,” said Bob Fabiano, General Manager of JW Marriott Hanoi. “Vietnam is a hugely appealing market, and we see great growth potential here. It is an honor to lead the first JW Marriott hotel in Vietnam and I am looking forward to providing the best in five star services to our domestic and international guests,” Fabiano added.

JW Marriott Hanoi features a total of six restaurant and bar outlets. Dining venues include the French Grill, a French inspired outlet serving fresh seafood and prime cuts of steaks along with a variety of premium wines and spirits; and a Chinese restaurant specialising in Cantonese fare (open in January 2014). Guests are also invited to sample fare from across the globe throughout the day at JW Café. Meanwhile, Antidote Bar is set to become one of the most sought after nightspots in the city.

With over 3,600 sq mts of flexible meeting space built for large corporate and association events, JW Marriott Hanoi is well placed to cater to the flourishing market for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) in Vietnam. The hotel has a total of 17 meeting rooms including two Ballrooms of 1,000 sq mtr  and 480 sq mtr with extensive public foyers. All meeting facilities are conveniently located on the ground floor with a dedicated entrance and parking.

Marriott International has more than 3,700 properties in 74 countries and territories worldwide.  The company expects to more than double in size in Asia – from 144 open hotels today to more than 330 by 2017 – with room growth from 47,318 to 96,684 and doubling its total number of associates to more than 80,000.
