Vietnam’s 6th Wink Hotel officially opened its doors on July 17, 2025, marking a new milestone for the brand on its journey of redefining ‘affordable luxury’ in Vietnam hospitality.
Hai Phong City, July 17, 2025 – Wink Hotels has now made its northern Vietnam debut, and the made-in-Vietnam hospitality brand picked Hai Phong for good reason. This maritime gateway, Vietnam’s third largest city, has been connecting Vietnam to the world for centuries – now it’s home to our sixth hotel and a new chapter for affordable, tech-driven, sustainable hospitality in the north.
Located at the heart of Hai Phong city, Wink Hotel Hai Phong at 135 Dien Bien Phu, offers 225 hotel rooms and 77 serviced apartments that redefine affordable luxury, all with floor-to-ceiling windows enabling the most stunning views over Hai Phong City. Behind its design-conscious facade, there are game-changing elements such as Wink Hotels’ revolutionary STAY24 program, offering a complete 24-hour accommodation experience regardless of check-in time. Plus, there are smart systems through the Wink mobile app that allow mobile check in, and turn smart phones into room keys, with automatic kiosks which mean maximum freedom for modern travelers.
The serviced apartments – Wink Live© Serviced Residences – are striking one and two-bedroom configurations that let long-staying guests in Hai Phong live bold and stay Wink for extended periods. The spaces deliver everything: sleek kitchens, chic living rooms, dedicated workspaces, peaceful bedrooms, Smart TVs, super-fast WiFi, and Wink’s signature five-star sleep experience with premium mattresses and linens by France’s Catherine Denoual. Combined with Wink Hotels’ 24/7 amenities such as the gym, laundromat and Grab & Go services, the suites offer the best experience where home comfort meets convenience and hotel luxury, and guests can choose to stay from one night, one month to a year-plus.
Surrounded by a myriad of options for culinary, shopping and entertainment experiences within a few-minute walk from its premises, Wink Hotel Hai Phong is also the perfect launchpad for those looking for leisure discoveries. Within its grounds, travelers will also find East West Beer Garden, the taproom’s debut in Hai Phong; the Wink Rooftop Pool Bar and the groundfloor Wink Bar that offer craft and draught beer, classic and signature cocktails at any time of the day or night.
