Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts will debut in Vietnam later this year with the opening of Pan Pacific Hanoi.
Previously operating as Sofitel Plaza Hanoi, the hotel features 273 guestrooms and 56 serviced suites and will officially open as a Pan Pacific on October 1.
"Having a brand-defining hotel in Hanoi is part of our strategy to establish our presence in key gateway cities in the Asia-Pacific region. We are committed to Vietnam as a strategic growth market as it ushers in a new phase of exciting developments in travel and tourism," said Bernold Schroeder, CEO of the Pan Pacific Hotels Group.
It will join Pan Pacific’s Parkroyal Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City.
Planned refurbishments ahead of the rebrand include an updated lobby bar, all-day dining restaurant and meeting space.
The hotel is sited on the banks of West Lake and was acquired by Pan Pacific Hotels Group in 2001 through a joint venture with Hanoi Construction Corporation.
