Delicious food, top service and unlimited breakfast of Dom Perignon on Sunday mornings conquered him and his girlfriend when he came here for a vacation. In Vietnam, JW Marriott Hanoi is also one of the hotels in this segment. This is the number one choice of heads of state when visiting Hanoi.

Not only recognizing the most luxurious projects, Marriott International also expands its influence in many other segments. In which, many projects in the high-end segment (premium) bring customers unique travel experiences.

For example, when arriving at the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel, located right next to the Atlanta airport – one of the busiest runways in the United States, guests can admire and produce spectacular photos. For those who love aviation and photographers, this hotel will be their passionate entertainer.

In the same segment, a well-known Marriott brand, Le Méridien, also aims to provide customers with new travel experiences. Up to now, the brand is available in 40 countries and territories, with more than 110 hotels and resorts globally.

Le Méridien is also present in little-known tourist destinations such as Bora Bora, an island in the Polynesian (French). On a small island, guests have the opportunity to experience luxury living in bungalows on the water, roam in the turtle museum, taste authentic local dishes …

Criteria for Marriott International set up with Le Méridien Da Nang

One of the new projects to put his name on the Marriott-branded resort map is Le Méridien Residence Da Nang. This is the first class project that IFF Holdings develops in Quang Nam, Da Nang market. According to a representative of IFF Holdings, with the management and operation of Marriott International, the Le Méridien Residences project must meet separate standards.

“Each project managed by Marriott International is located in beautiful, natural-rich locations to convey the idea of ​​bringing nature into each living and relaxing space,” he said. In response to this, Le Méridien Residiences has a prime location in Quang Nam, located on the arterial road connecting Da Nang and Hoi An, opposite two world-class golf courses.

Chain of 63 luxury villas here are designed in a minimalist architecture, elaborate every detail. There, the classical European cultural inspiration blends in with the local materials, expressing the “timeless elegance” criterion in the spirit of the Le Méridien brand. IFF Holdings cooperates with international partners in landscape, architectural and interior design from Singapore such as MAPS Design, Avalon Collective or Coopers Hill to realize that.

One of the standards that Marriott sets for its hotels and resorts is to protect the environment and save resources. At Le Méridien Da Nang, raw water from the city water supply unit entering the project is treated to meet Marriott quality, then used for cooking and living. Water source after living is concentrated treatment and reuse in the automatic watering of the entire project.

The investor also takes care of the internal amenities at Le Méridien Da Nang in that direction. For example, instead of using chlorine chemicals to disinfect pool water, IFF Holdings uses the US salt electrolysis technology. There, natural chlorine is electrolyzed from salt and kills bacteria in the water, helping the pool water to stay clean but not harmful to the skin, hair and eyes of the user.

As of 2015, 80% of swimming pools in Australia have applied this technology. This method is considered to be a safer solution for human health as well as the environment, compared with traditional chlorine disinfection. By 2014, a hotel in Maryland, USA was evacuated due to eye irritation from customers, due to the chlorine chemical tank being spread to the water source at this hotel.

“Architecturally, Le Méridien Da Nang also needs to adhere to the strict standards of a world-class resort, and at the same time express our orientation to create a classy and luxurious resort space for the floor. elite class “, representative of IFF Holdings said.

Architects use a variety of special materials, including Low-E glass. According to experts, this type of glass is often found in high-end projects in the inner city, but rare in marine resort projects due to high investment costs.

Low-E glass possesses advantages such as slow heat emission, reducing dispersion, absorbing heat while ensuring brightness. “The room using Low-E glass is cool in summer, warm in winter. This is also a cost-effective way to keep heat in the room and ensure aesthetics,” said one architect. At the request of Marriott International, only two companies in the world supplying these glasses are Saint-Gobain (France) and AGC (Belgium).

In addition, the special materials used in the project such as marble tiles give high flatness and elegance; powder coated aluminum frame according to German standards, avoid warping and oxidation with marine climate; Porcelain tiled tiles have high strength and durable structure, good waterproofing …

Furniture at the entire resort is individually designed, ensuring the aesthetics and showing the consistency with the style of Le Méridien brand around the world. Household appliances and bathroom equipment imported from famous international brands such as Blanco, Berkeley, Toto, Kohler …

In addition, the project also integrates many intelligent 4.0 technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), bringing a comfortable life at the doorstep for owners and visitors.

Through Marriott’s mobile app, customers can check-in, open doors by phone, automatically open curtains, turn on room lighting, and other room settings. The sensor system will save the customer’s face, automatically memorize and adjust according to each individual, as soon as the customer returns to the villa next time.

With careful care, the investor expects to bring customers valuable products, helping customers to enjoy classy and upscale amenities.
