High-rise buildings illuminate Vietnam’s dynamic growth
(VOV) - The JW Marriott Hanoi Hotel, with its lotus sculpture-bearing Dragon and Bitexco Financial Towers, is a major project in the capital city of showing the country’s dynamic growth to its international friends.
Hanoi’s dragon-shaped hotel
Visitors to major international events regularly hosted by the National Convention Hall are very impressed by the unique luxury of the JW Marriott Hanoi Hotel. Although Marriott International is a global hotelier, the JW Marriott Hanoi of Bitexco Hotel Management Co is one of the largest hotels in the capital city.
The JW Marriott Hanoi has a total of 450 rooms, five-star European and Asian restaurants, ballrooms, a fitness centre, and a meeting space of 2,400 square metres – the largest ever seen in Vietnam.

Renowned American architect Carlos Zapata, who was responsible for HCM City’s Bitexco Financial Tower, created the JW Marriott Hanoi’s iconic “flying dragon” design.
Hotel Director General Bob Fabiano says the unique architecture is certain to draw more visitors to Hanoi.
Bitexco President Vu Quang Hoi hopes that the dragon-shaped hotel will have a reputation for luxury like those in Singapore and Hong Kong and become a regional centre for international events as well as a symbol of Vietnam’s dynamic growth.

HCM City’s Bitexco Finance Tower is a 68-storey skyscraper shaped like a lotus bud rising from bustling metropolis.
