Wink Hotel Danang Riverside opens
Hotel chain aims to engage central city’s resurgent hospitality market.
Wink Hotel Danang Riverside opened to guests on April 1, the brand’s first hotel with Wink Suites, Wink’s serviced apartment offering, featuring 287 hotel rooms and 70 suites. The hotel is located by the Han River and five minutes from My Khe Beach.
Mr. Keisuke Koshijima, Representative Director and Executive Vice President of the Kajima Corporation, explained that Wink Hotels aims to engage Da Nang’s resurgent hospitality market. “Da Nang’s remarkable post-pandemic rebound, with over 742,000 visitors, including 195,300 foreign visitors in the first two months of 2023, is thanks to the expansion of domestic routes and the resumption of international routes,” he said. “That figure is five-times higher than in the same period last year and accounts for 90 per cent of the same period of 2019, before the Covid outbreak. Da Nang has welcomed an average of 69 flights a day since March 2022, and the number growing substantially every month.”
“Our belief in the potential of the Da Nang market is supported by our investment and development plan, first in the Wink Hotel Danang Centre @ 178 Tran Phu and now in Wink Hotel Danang Riverside @ 315 Tran Hung Dao,” said Mr. Peter Ryder, Wink Hotel Chairman and CEO of Indochina Capital. “While Wink Hotel Danang Centre is an ideal place for business visitors thanks to its prime city center location, Wink Hotel Danang Riverside will appeal to both business visitors and vacationers due to its perfect positioning between the beach, the CBD, and other attractions.”
Wink Hotel Danang Riverside is designed by AW2, a leading architecture and interior company based in Paris, France, with a pop culture energy where accommodation, work, and leisure cohabit in harmony. Wink provides a modern, vibrant, blended space underpinned by traditional Vietnamese values, inspired by local street life, and accentuated by artwork from local artists Nguyen The Son and Richie Fawcett.
The hotel offers a high-tech experience with automated check-in, cashless, and contactless vending machines, and free high-speed internet access throughout the hotel. Wink Guides, the hotel brand’s characterful front-of-house team, are available 24/7 to assist with insightful recommendations on where to dine and play.
“Wink Hotels’ hassle-free concept has resonated strongly with the dynamic new generation of travelers and our growth has been phenomenal,” said Wink CEO Michael Piro. “Following on from our success so far, we are expecting seven more properties to launch throughout Vietnam by the end of 2027.”
The hotel is close to popular tourist attractions such as Bana Hills, Golden Bridge, Hoi An ancient town, and multiple sports centers. Wink Hotel Danang Riverside provides customers with the perfect base to explore the city as well as access Da Nang’s exciting events and festivals.
