Marriott International, Inc. announces a landmark moment in its regional growth: the Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection joins its portfolio as the company’s 700th property in Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC). This milestone underscores Marriott’s momentum and reflects its strategic focus on thoughtfully expanding into diverse destinations beyond traditional gateway cities.

Situated on a private islet along the Hau River, Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection introduces the brand’s signature storytelling hospitality to the heart of Vietnam’s lush Mekong Delta. The property joins Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection as the second Autograph Collection hotel in Vietnam, with each offering experiences that are “Exactly Like Nothing Else.”

“Introducing our 700th property in APEC is a proud moment that reflects the trust our owners, partners, and guests place in Marriott,” said Rajeev Menon, President, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International. “Vietnam remains one of our most exciting growth markets. The opening of the Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection highlights our commitment to thoughtfully expanding our presence beyond major cities, introducing travelers to new destinations rich in culture, character, and opportunity.”

 A Growing Presence Across Vietnam and the Region

Marriott continues to strengthen its presence across Vietnam, operating 30 open properties with a robust pipeline of over 50 projects. This growth spans major urban centers like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to emerging leisure destinations such as Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, and Ha Giang. Vietnam is rapidly becoming one of Asia’s most dynamic travel markets, welcoming over 17 million international visitors in the first 10 months of 2025, up more than 21% year on year.

This opening marks a significant step in Marriott’s long-term growth strategy in APEC, where the company now operates 700 properties across 27 brands in 22 countries, with 400 more properties in the development pipeline. As part of the Marriott Bonvoy platform with nearly 260 million members globally, travelers can connect seamlessly to a world of rewards, experiences, and destinations across the region.

Introducing a Storied Outpost in the Heart of Mekong Delta

Surrounded by eight hectares of tropical gardens on Au Islet, Legacy Mekong, Can Tho immerses guests in the natural beauty and enduring rhythms of the Mekong Delta, known as the “Rice Basket of Vietnam.” The property captures the essence of riverside living through designs inspired by mangroves and fruit orchards. Guests are welcomed with palm-leaf bracelets and traditional blessings before retreating to one of the 86 elegantly designed bungalows and private pool villas.

Legacy Mekong, Can Tho spotlights this enchanting yet underexplored region, offering experience-seeking travelers authentic adventures, organic cuisine, and cultural traditions. Dining celebrates the Mekong’s rich culinary heritage, including “Breakfast with a Story”—a dish paired with the tale of its origin. Multi-sensory wellness offerings include a hydrotherapy spa, yoga studio, and meditation pavilion, while families appreciate the engaging children’s club. Keeping the storytelling alive, guests depart with a symbolic linen pouch of seeds and an invitation to “carry the Mekong home.”
