“We are delighted to strengthen our presence in Vietnam with the signing of The Westin Resort & Spa, Cam Ranh. The signing of The Westin Resort & Spa, Cam Ranh marks the entry of the Westin brand into Vietnam and strengthens the position of Starwood as one of the largest international upscale hotel chains in the Thailand and Indochina region (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos),” commented Miguel Ko, President of Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Asia Pacific.
“We are looking forward to offering travelers to Cam Ranh a retreat from the rigors of travel, with our signature Westin services, products and amenities that will allow them to relax, rejuvenate and recharge during their stay,” added Ko.

Cam Ranh Bay is a protected inlet off the South China Sea situated between Phan Rang and Nha Trang, approximately 290 kilometers northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well-known for its white sandy beaches and pristine turquoise waters. The site features an extensive beach frontage of 550 meters. Due to the beachfront location and undulating terrain of the site, all guest rooms and villas will feature breath-taking views of the ocean. The Westin resort is approximately a 10-minute drive from Cam Ranh airport and a 40-minute drive to the Nha Trang city center, the capital of Khanh Hoa Province.
