Indochina Kajima breaks ground on Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre
In September 2022, Indochina Kajima Development Limited (Indochina Kajima), a joint venture between Indochina Capital, a leading real estate developer in Vietnam, and Kajima Corporation, one of Japan’s largest general contractors and overseas real estate developers, held the groundbreaking ceremony for Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre @ 14 Phan Dinh Phung Street, Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City.
Situated in a prime location in Can Tho’s central business district along Phan Dinh Phung Street, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre will appeal to young-at-heart business and leisure travelers. It has excellent access to the central business district, local government offices, and Ninh Khieu Wharf and Park which are home to Can Tho’s key F&B, retail, and entertainment attractions.
Designed by the Parisian architectural firm, AW2, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre comprises 214 Wink hotel rooms and 24 Wink suites (serviced apartments) within a stunningly designed 19-story tower of approximately 12,700 m2. Following the sustainable, modern design of the Wink Hotels brand, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre will include an interactive lobby including a Wink Space, Wink Bar, Grab & Go area, and Chat outdoor garden on the 1st floor, a co-working space, gym, and laundromat on the 2nd floor and swimming pool and roof-top bar on the 19th floor. Accommodation floors are located from level 3 to 18 with a total of 238 hotel rooms and serviced apartments.
“When travelling to Can Tho, tourists and business travelers will enjoy the natural beauty of the Mekong Delta, in addition to the culture, customs and cuisines of Can Tho’s vibrant and dynamic central business district. We have carefully selected each Wink Hotel site in locations with historical significance and access to modern amenities, respecting Vietnam’s heritage while embracing it’s rapidly evolving social and economic identity. Wink Hotel Can Tho embodies these ideals and through the design of the hotel and the activities available during operations, we plan to promote the best of Can Tho for international and domestic guests to explore and enjoy”, said Mr. Peter Ryder, Chairman of Wink Hotels and CEO of Indochina Capital, during the ceremony.
Mr. Keisuke Koshijima, Representative Director and Executive Vice President of Kajima Corporation, shared his opinions on the potential of Can Tho’s hospitality market: “Can Tho has many favorable conditions for tourism development. It is the heart of the Mekong Delta which is a key tourist attraction for local and international travelers given its vast river networks and cultural and historical significance. Besides its natural beauty and rich cultural history, Can Tho is the economic center of the Mekong Delta which has a population of over 20 million people and is a focus of Vietnam’s overall growth plans. However, the city still lacks modern and high-quality accommodations to meet the growing demands of business travelers and tourists. When completed, Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre will set a new benchmark for hospitality and tourism in the city taking advantage of the need for an international standard hotel”.
With its long-term vision and unwavering commitment to investing in Vietnam’s hospitality market, Indochina Kajima has announced a pipeline of 20 hotels to open within the next five to seven years. Wink Hotel Saigon Centre opened in 2021, two Wink Hotels in Da Nang are about to complete construction and start operation in Q4 2022 and Q2 2023 respectively. In tandem, construction of Wink Hotel Tuy Hoa and Wink Hotel Hai Phong is well progressing, targeting to commence operations in Q1 2024 and Q1 2025, respectively. After Wink Hotel Can Tho Centre officially breaks ground, Hanoi, Binh Duong and Vung Tau will be the next destinations for Wink developments, followed by second properties in both Hanoi and HCM City.
