Accordingly, Premier Village Ha Long Bay Resort will be rebranded as Oakwood Ha Long.

Speaking at the management agreement signing ceremony, Serena Lim, chief growth officer of The Ascott Limited, said the Oakwood brand had been established in the local market since 2016, and with evolving guest preferences, the brand will be refreshed later this month to align with the rekindled appetite for travel.

“Taking the Oakwood brand across a growing width of asset classes, the new Oakwood Ha Long will be the first property under the brand to feature an all-villa inventory,” she stated.

Known for its core value of 'Home + Beyond', Oakwood captures the essence of comfort and convenience, offering a warm retreat after a busy day. In line with this commitment to comfort, Oakwood Ha Long promises to deliver a better home experience, ensuring guest satisfaction through world-class service and the dependability of its dedicated staff.
