At the end of March 2026, IHG Hotels & Resorts opened "voco Scenia Bay Nha Trang by IHG" in the northern coastal area of Nha Trang, in south-central Vietnam. The third voco-brand hotel in Vietnam, it is a 31-story, 250-room premium property with ocean views, designed so guests can enjoy the vista of Nha Trang Bay from every room.
A 31-story tower rises in Nha Trang's new northern development area
voco Scenia Bay Nha Trang sits about 10 minutes by car from Nha Trang's busy Tran Phu Street, in a northern coastal area now undergoing fresh development. The area has seen a construction boom of resort-style condominiums, and voco's arrival is being watched in the industry as a move that accelerates the area's clustering of hotel brands.
General Manager Justin Malcolm commented, "We embody the voco brand's concept of being 'reliable but different' along Nha Trang's coastline. We want to offer guests both relaxation and discovery."
Five dining venues, with the Mediterranean restaurant "La Bonita" as the flagship
The hotel has five dining and bar venues. The flagship restaurant, "La Bonita," serves Mediterranean cuisine centered on Italian and Spanish dishes, with a focus on seafood and wine pairings. The all-day dining venue "The Show" features a live cooking station as its centerpiece, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner that range from Vietnamese food to international fare.

The local reaction: "Northern Nha Trang is changing"
"The area around Tran Phu Street had gotten too crowded, so having an international brand move into the northern part is a good trend. The beach is quieter too, and from now on I'd rather stay on this side." — A hospitality-industry worker living in Nha Trang
"In terms of name recognition, voco is behind InterContinental and Crowne Plaza, but its balance of design and price is good. I think it'll resonate with young couples and families in their thirties." — A member of the Vietnam travel industry association
"The sunset view from the 31st floor really is stunning. Once photos of the infinity pool spread on social media, bookings will fill up in no time." — From a local photographer's Instagram post
The impact on Japanese travelers: more options for staying in Nha Trang
Nha Trang has no direct flights from Japan, but access is good, about an hour and a half by domestic flight from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. In December 2025,Hyatt Regency Nha Trangopened with 434 rooms, and voco Scenia Bay's entry is intensifying the competition among premium hotels in Nha Trang even further.
The good news for Japanese travelers is that joining IHG One Rewards is free. It also supports point exchange with the ANA Mileage Club and JAL Mileage Bank, a big plus for travelers earning miles with Japanese airlines. During the opening promotion, booking in May or June, before high season, could mean a relatively reasonable stay.
Vietnam's hotel opening boom: international brands keep arriving
Between 2025 and 2026, luxury and premium hotels have been opening one after another in Vietnam. In Hanoi,Fairmont Hanoiopened with 241 rooms by Hoan Kiem Lake in the Old Quarter. On Phu Quoc,in-resort airline check-in servicehas begun, and hospitality is growing more sophisticated.
Global chains such as Marriott, Accor, and Hilton are accelerating their M&A strategies in Vietnam, and IHG's rollout of the voco brand is part of that trend. Toward the Vietnam tourism authority's goal of 25 million foreign visitors in 2026, expanding lodging infrastructure is an essential investment.
