Accor has announced the signing of Sofitel Sapa Hotel & Residences, the first international luxury hotel brand in the highlands of Vietnam.
The new property, located in the mountainous province of Lao Cai, will open in 2023. The hotel will feature 100 rooms and suites, while the residences will have 162 units. The design is inspired by French colonial architecture and blends seamlessly with Vietnamese cultural elements.
The Sofitel Sapa Hotel & Residences aims to provide a unique experience for its guests by offering a wide range of facilities, including three restaurants, two bars, a spa, a gym, and a kids club. In addition, it will offer meeting spaces for business travelers and event organizers.
Patrick Basset, COO of Accor for Upper Southeast & Northeast Asia and the Maldives, said they are excited about this new project. He believes this venture will help boost tourism in Sapa by providing a luxurious stay experience for local and international visitors.
This move is part of Accor’s expansion plan across Asia, where it already operates more than 1,300 hotels. The group continues to strengthen its presence in Vietnam, managing over 30 properties across multiple brands.
