The Grand Ho Tram Strip

What The Grand Ho Tram Strip does

The Grand Ho Tram Strip is a Vietnamese luxury integrated resort owned and developed by Asian Coast Development Ltd. (ACDL) through Ho Tram Project Company Limited, with capital from NewCity Capital and Lodgis Hospitality (a Warburg Pincus / VinaCapital joint venture). Opened in 2013 on 164 contiguous hectares (405 acres) of beachfront in Ho Tram, Ba Ria–Vung Tau province approximately 120 km (2 hours) from Ho Chi Minh City, the resort operates 1,200+ keys split across three hotel towers — InterContinental Grand Ho Tram (538 rooms, IHG-managed), Holiday Inn Resort Ho Tram Beach (502 rooms, IHG-managed), and Ixora Ho Tram by Fusion (164 residences, Fusion-managed) — plus The Bluffs Grand Ho Tram, a Greg Norman-designed championship golf course ranked #35 worldwide by Golf Digest.

The property functions as a single integrated destination combining accommodation, gaming, golf, F&B, wellness, MICE, and entertainment. Gaming is anchored by a 5,000 sqm casino with approximately 90 table games and over 500 electronic gaming machines operating 24/7; following inclusion in Vietnam's expanded five-year gaming pilot in November 2025, eligible Vietnamese citizens may now participate under supervised conditions. Supporting amenities include 17+ restaurants and bars, three spa concepts (Maia, Lotus, The Grand Spa), nine swimming pools, a 1,254 sqm pillarless ballroom with capacity for ~1,100 guests, beachfront wedding venues, water sports, kids' facilities, and Beta Cinema Ho Tram. Distribution runs through the resort's own website, toll-free hotline, and email reservations, complemented by the IHG global booking platform, travel trade partners, and a complimentary shuttle bus from central HCMC.

Revenue is generated through seven streams: hotel accommodations, casino gaming, food and beverage, events and weddings (MICE), golf, day passes and recreation, and spa and wellness. Pricing is seasonal and segmented, with packages such as Stay 2 Pay 1, Play & Stay, Special Weekday Escape, Grand MICE Offer, and the Where Love Meets the Ocean wedding offering. The customer mix is diversified across domestic Vietnamese leisure travelers, international tourists (including a coordinated push into China), corporate MICE clients, golf enthusiasts, gaming guests, and destination weddings — supported by direct marketing, the IHG One Rewards loyalty program, IHG Global Sales Office activations, and earned-media industry recognition including the 2025 TTG Best Integrated Resort award (the first Vietnamese property to receive it). Total disclosed investment exceeds US$1 billion and direct employment is above 2,000; financial revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
