Vietnam Becomes Marriott International’s 700th Destination in APEC

Located on a secluded islet along the Hau River, Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection brings the brand’s distinctive philosophy of “telling stories through stay experiences” to the heart of Vietnam’s fertile Mekong Delta.

A milestone for Autograph Collection in Vietnam
This is the second Autograph Collection property in Vietnam, following Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection. Each hotel under this portfolio delivers a one of a kind experience based on the brand’s “Exactly Like Nothing Else” philosophy, combining striking design, refined service and deep local cultural identity.

“Welcoming the 700th hotel in the APEC region is a proud milestone, reflecting the trust that owners, partners and guests place in Marriott,” said Rajeev Menon, President of Marriott International Asia Pacific (excluding China).

Marriott International’s expansion in Vietnam
In Vietnam, Marriott International currently operates more than 30 hotels and resorts, with over 50 additional projects in the development pipeline. The country is rapidly emerging as one of the most dynamic travel markets in the region, welcoming more than 17 million international visitors in the first ten months of 2025, representing an increase of more than 21 percent year on year.

This opening also marks an important step in Marriott International’s long term growth strategy in APEC. The group now operates 700 hotels across 27 brands in 22 countries and territories, with a further 400 projects under development. As part of the Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem, with more than 260 million global members, travelers enjoy seamless access to exclusive benefits, curated experiences and connectivity across one of the world’s fastest growing tourism regions.

Experience the Mekong Delta in depth
Set within eight hectares of tropical gardens on Con Au islet, Legacy Mekong, Can Tho immerses guests in the natural beauty and tranquil rhythm of the Mekong Delta. Located just a three hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the resort expresses the essence of southern Vietnam through design inspired by mangrove forests, ancient banyan trees and lush fruit orchards.

Guests are welcomed with handwoven coconut leaf bracelets, fragrant herbal tea and a locally inspired arrival ritual before retreating to one of 86 elegant bungalows and private pool villas overlooking the river, lake or gardens. The culinary offer celebrates the rich heritage of the region, from authentic local specialties to immersive dining experiences.

Wellness, culture and meaningful stays
Guided by a philosophy of celebrating unique stories, each Autograph Collection destination carries its own distinct identity. At Legacy Mekong, guests can elevate their stay with multi sensory wellness journeys, including hydrotherapy spa facilities, yoga and pilates studios and dedicated meditation zones. Alongside an interactive children’s area, the resort features a serene lotus pond garden and a daily traditional gong ritual at sunset, creating moments of connection and balance for the whole family. At the end of each stay, guests receive a small linen gift bag containing seeds as a meaningful keepsake that captures the spirit of their Mekong journey.

As Marriott International reaches its 700 hotel milestone in APEC, the opening of Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection reinforces Vietnam’s growing importance as a key luxury and experiential travel destination in the region.
