Marriott International, Inc. today announced that the Legacy Mekong, Can Tho, Autograph Collection has joined its portfolio, marking the company’s 700th property in Asia Pacific excluding China (APEC).

Situated on a private islet along the Hau River, the property joins Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection as the second Autograph Collection hotel in Vietnam. Each offers experiences that are “Exactly Like Nothing Else.”

“Introducing our 700^th 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 continues to be one of our most exciting growth markets, and 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 that are rich in culture, character, and opportunity.”

A Storied Outpost in the Heart of the Mekong Delta

Surrounded by eight hectares of tropical gardens on Au Islet, Legacy Mekong, Can Tho is a three-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City. The property captures the essence of riverside living through designs inspired by mangroves, banyan trees, and fruit orchards. Guests are welcomed with bracelets woven by palm leaves, herbal infusions, and traditional blessings before retreating to one of the 86 bungalows and private pool villas, each offering views of the river, lake, or garden.

Legacy Mekong, Can Tho offers travelers authentic adventures, organic cuisine, and cultural traditions. Dining celebrates the Mekong’s rich culinary heritage, from locally sourced Vietnamese favorites to “Breakfast with a Story” – a dish paired with the tale of its origin.

The property also offers:

• wellness facilities, including a hydrotherapy spa, yoga and Pilates studio, and meditation pavilion
• more than 4,000 square feet of meeting and event space across two rooms
• fitness center
• infinity pool and junior pool
• three on-site restaurants (Pool Bar, The Grill, and The Café)
• children’s club

Multi-sensory wellness offerings including a hydrotherapy spa, yoga and Pilates studio, and meditation pavilion offer indulgence for travelers while families will appreciate the engaging children’s club, while the courtyard pool, gong rituals, and herbal refreshments add to the sense of calm and connection. Keeping the storytelling alive, guests depart with a symbolic linen pouch of seeds and an invitation to “carry the Mekong home.”
