The world’s first and largest luxury hotel brand celebrates 75 years with an exclusive event at InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, along with limited-time offers, including the InterContinental75 cocktail 

InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has become synonymous with bold exploration, travel and cultural discovery, having pioneered luxury travel in emerging and well-loved destinations for the past 75 years. As InterContinental hotels and resorts continue to toast its diamond anniversary this year, guests were invited to celebrate the joy of travel and rediscover the brand’s hotels and resorts around the world, including its seven iconic hotels and resorts in Vietnam.   

From now until April 2022, guests can enjoy an exciting line up of limited-time offers ranging from sparkling anniversary cocktails to exhilarating stay experiences, officially launched in Vietnam at a spectacular event in Hanoi.    

The InterContinental brand first arrived in Vietnam in 2007 with the opening of InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, and it was therefore a fitting venue for the brand’s anniversary celebrations. Along with live entertainment, the event featured a culinary journey for guests with Executive Chef Christophe Depuichaffray from InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, Executive Chef & Head of Food and Beverage Nicolas Plateau from InterContinental Landmark72 and Chef de Cuisine Mr. Quy Do from InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. Invited guests also enjoyed and sipped on the new bespoke InterContinental75 cocktail, created this year in partnership with Piper Heidseick and The Botanist Gin to celebrate the brand’s diamond anniversary.  

Sine first arriving in 2007, InterContinental has continued to expand in Vietnam to open eight city landmarks and immersive  resorts across the country, in varied destinations including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Danang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and most recently in the southern seaside holiday destination of Ho Tram.  

“We are delighted to be celebrating the 75th anniversary of InterContinental Hotels and Resorts with our guests, owners, partners and colleagues in Vietnam,” says Andrew Davidson, Area General Manager, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Northern Vietnam. “We are immensely proud to have opened seven eight beautiful InterContinental hotels and resorts in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Nha Trang, Ho Tram and Phu Quoc over the last 14 years. We are equally excited about our future pipeline of openings in Vietnam under the InterContinental brand, and we remain committed to developing our colleagues to deliver true hospitality for everyone in the years to come.”

The celebratory anniversary cocktail, named “InterContinental75”, will be served at over 130 InterContinental hotels and resorts around the world. A re-imagination of the well-loved classic cocktail, French 75, the InterContinental75  is brought to life through a global partnership with two other pioneering brands – Piper-Heidsieck Champagne, founded in 1785 and winner of the 2021 “Best Champagne House of the World”, and The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, hand-crafted from botanicals foraged on the Island of Islay. An alternative but equally celebratory version will also be crafted using Seedlip Distilled non-alcoholic spirit and Fever Tree mixers. Bringing local destinations and ingredients to the forefront, talented teams at select InterContinental hotels and resorts around the world will craft cocktail variations, along with special food pairing menus, for a unique interpretation and taste journey in each destination.

Guests can recognise personal milestones with a range of anniversary packages. The 75th Anniversary Package will be available at select hotels and includes a personalized cocktail experience for two; for those looking for incomparable experiences, the InterContinental Diamond Stay Packages offer varied and carefully curated once-in-a-lifetime luxury moments across hand-picked InterContinental hotels.
