Starwood to build two luxury hotels in Vietnam

HANOI: US developer Starwood Hotels plans to build two luxury hotels in Vietnam, including a 5-star resort on the central coast, the government said yesterday.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Inc plans to build a 330-room Le Meridien hotel on China Beach, where US troops once went to relax on leave during the Vietnam War.

The stretch of coastline has become a magnet for tourism and five-star hotels. In addition, Hyatt and Marriott resorts are also planned.
