SINGAPORE, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG), the hospitality arm of Singapore-based UOL Group Limited, continues to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia as it announces the launch of PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Hanoi, marking the latest milestone in a steady pipeline of regional openings.

Southeast Asia is a vibrant, opportunity-rich region with strong fundamentals supporting long-term growth in travel, business, and investment. According to an industry report^[1], the region’s tourism industry continues to recover with more than 121 million international travellers visiting the region in 2024.

PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Hanoi is the Group’s third property in Vietnam and underscores PPHG’s long-term commitment to the region. It follows recent launches of PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Jakarta, Pan Pacific Jakarta, and Gurney Bay Hotel, a PARKROYAL Hotel in Penang and is among eight new properties planned across Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines over the next two years. PPHG now operates a total of 23 existing properties in Southeast Asia.

Tapping into Vietnam’s Growth

The latest launch of PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Hanoi comes amid Vietnam’s robust economic momentum, with GDP growth reaching 7.09% in 2024 and a strong tourism rebound that saw 17.6 million international arrivals, with a target of 22 million set for 2025. The increasing presence of multinational companies, coupled with rapid urbanisation in key cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, has accelerated the need for flexible, long-stay living options. which appeal to both longer stay business travellers and family travel.

According to a report by Savills^[2], average occupancy rate for serviced apartments in Hanoi reached 86%, in first quarter of 2025, up 4% from last year, while average rental rates increased by 5% year-on-year.

“Southeast Asia is a key pillar in our regional strategy. Within the bloc, Vietnam, with its dynamic economy, growing international connectivity, and strong demand for extended-stay options, it offers immense potential. Our upcoming PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Hanoi marks an exciting next chapter in Pan Pacific Hotels Group’s growth in Vietnam, complementing our flagship Pan Pacific Hanoi. By adding a premium long-stay offering to our portfolio, we can cater to a wider range of travellers while strengthening our presence in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets,” said Mr. Choe Peng Sum, Chief Executive Officer, Pan Pacific Hotels Group.
