Ascott, a Singapore-based hospitality company, has signed management agreements for nine properties totaling over 3,200 units in Vietnam during the first half of 2026, marking its fastest growth in the country. These include four projects with longtime partner Sun Group and five with new owners. This expansion increases Ascott's Vietnam portfolio by over 30%, bringing the total to approximately 12,000 units across 42 properties in 14 cities. The new developments span major cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, as well as coastal areas such as Phu Quoc and Quy Nhon. The properties include the debut of The Crest Collection brand in northern Vietnam. The expansion is supported by Vietnam's growing tourism sector, including record international arrivals and improved infrastructure. Properties are expected to open starting in 2028.
