INTRODUCTION
This thesis introduces one of the largest hotel groups in the hotel industry in the
world, JW Marriott. The dissertation traced the history of the JW Marriott Hotel
Group, specifically the JW Marriott Hanoi Hotel, from its beginning to the present
day.
This thesis includes 3 parts: the first part is history of hotel industry in the world
and in Vietnam. In the next part of the thesis, we will discover the some interesting
data about the hotel company, JW Marriott. Finally is the introduction of JW Marriott
Hanoi Hotel.
We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for all the group
members whose participation, support and hard-working have been invaluable
throughout this study.
According to the research of historians, the French brought the hotel business into
Vietnam in the 1880s and started building hotel chains in Saigon, followed by Hanoi
and Hue. However, Mr. Vuong Dai was the one who laid the first "brick" to bring the
hotel industry into the Vietnamese market, and to this day, people regard Vuong Dai as
the ancestor of real estate development (including hotels and offices for lease in
general).
Mr. Vuong Dai, a great businessman of Chinese origin in Saigon, built the
Maison Wang Tai in 1867 as his residence and office. Vuong Dai sold the building to
the government for 254,000 francs until 1880. The structure was later renamed the
Cosmopolitan hotel and became a destination for wealthy travelers seeking European-
style amenities.
According to Dr. Nguyen Duc Hiep's article "Saigon, Catinat Street in the Early
Twentieth Century," the first hotel in Vietnam was built and managed by the French,
named Hotel Laval (also known as Fave Hotel, located in Hanoi on Catinat-Dong Khoi
street today). The Laval Hotel was built by Bazin, Cazaux, and Salvaire and designed
by Mr. Élisée Fave.
The Laval Hotel is the first place that French military and civilian officials who
have just arrived in Saigon to work or set up a business go to stay before finding their
own place. When French pharmacologist Mr. Arthur Delteil arrived in Saigon in 1882,
the Fave hotel had three floors: the ground floor was the dining hall with "panca" fans
on the ceiling; the upper two floors were the rooms. Each room had a shower and
"robinet" water (considered a convenience at that time). Mr. Fave built the hotel, and
with its success, he became wealthy when he returned to France. In Léon Caubert's
1891 Memories of China, the following conversation is mentioned: "Did you find a
good hotel to stay at last night?" I asked him. “Yes,” he replied,” They advised me to
choose “Laval Hotel to sleep and Hotel l’Univers (Olivier) to eat at”.
The Marriott Hotel Hanoi, also known as the J.W. Marriott Hotel Hanoi, is one of
Vietnam's most recognizable hotels. The astonishing structure of the hotel itself is a
landmark, a mimic of "the legend dragon" by the shores of Vietnam, which claimed
the International Property Award in 2017, four years after its operation, in Hanoi's new
Business District and adjacent to the National Conventional Center.
The hotel was inspired by the image of the legendary dragon in folklore as well as
Vietnam's beautiful beaches. The hotel has a beautiful architectural style that blends
modern and media, and it is located in a light and peaceful area of the National
Convention Center academicians. As a result, resort or business hotel guests frequently
choose the hotel when visiting Hanoi. The hotel has 395 rooms and 55 suites, with
rooms ranging from standard to deluxe. The rooms have floor-to-ceiling transparent
glass windows with views of the lake and the city.

CONCLUSION
This assignment was completed through the efforts and hard work of all
members, which have been invaluable throughout this study. We encountered some
difficulties throughout this dissertation, such as having to prepare two texts in
Vietnamese and English at the same time so that we could easily follow the contents,
especially for someone who could not catch up with the entire English text. During the
study, we realized that the discovered information was difficult to understand, which
means that there were a few words, phrases, and even the author's writing style that
were incomprehensible. We hope in the nex in-take we could improve all the
challenges and boost the high quality of the dissertation as well.
