IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today announces a two-hotel deal with Hai Thanh Hung Investment Joint Stock Company and Vietnam Royal Investment and Construction Co., Ltd (VRIC) in Quang Binh province.
The multiple property agreement includes 68-villa property voco Quang Binh Resort and 232-room Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre.
voco hotels, IHG’s fastest growing premium brand, will welcome guests next year as voco Quang Binh Resort joins voco Ma Belle Danang in Vietnam which is quickly becoming a popular choice for leisure and business guests.
Opening in late 2025, Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre will continue to showcase the premium brand’s blended travel experience in Vietnam, following the openings of Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay and Crowne Plaza Vinh Yen City Centre.
The two-hotel agreement marks IHG’s entry into Quang Binh, a province rich in natural beauty, cultural heritage, beautiful beaches, and historical significance. It is home to many famed attractions including Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, a UNESCO Heritage Site with one of the largest karst regions globally.

Creating new tourism experiences together with our partners perfectly showcases our intention to have hotels in the right locations with the right owners. “We continue to grow in Vietnam and will more than double our size in the next few years to more than 40 hotels across the country. Crowne Plaza Quang Binh City Centre, centrally located in the city centre will offer purposeful spaces for work and leisure that appeal to the modern traveller while voco Quang Binh Resort with its thoughtful, unstuffy and charming experience will become a leading beachfront resort in the area. This destination debut will strengthen the presence of our brand portfolio in Vietnam, offering stay experiences for every type of traveller.”
