Celadon International Hotels has become the first international hotel management group launched in Vietnam, catering to the tourism boom in Indochina and neighboring China the world' fastest-growing travel destination.
The new group, headed by one of Vietnam's most prominent hoteliers, Paul Stoll, formerly General Manager of the iconic Furama Rent Danang, the country's premier five-star resort, aims to "elevate the development and marketing" of a new chain of hotel to international standards and offers three distinct hotel brands, including the luxury Celadon, budget Waves and highly themed brand Exotica.
"Celadon, Waves and Exotica will provide the highest standard of services and facilities while offering three options to suit guests budgets," Stall said, adding that it will meet the high quality benchmark set by the Furama, catering to growing international interest in Vietnam's emerging tourism market.
"Celadon is truly an international, Vietnamese company and so are its professionals. Our criteria match the lifestyle expectations of international travelers, including focusing attention on the growing business travel sector”, the highly experienced German hotelier who has worked tirelessly to secure Vietnam's place on the world's tourism map, said.
As the country's first homegrown, hotel management group of international standard, Celadon is off to a flying start with various Vietnamese hotels, and resorts planed and under development in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Hue, Hoi An, Phan Thiet, Vung Tau, Dong Nai and Phu Quoc.
