If he sold it to Marriott I would start plotting a revolution. Even if it's Four Seasons / MO/Hyatt I would start a resistance movement...
FlyerEC, chinmoylad and Musken like this.

there is no way he would sell 51% , either much higher % or 49%
wasnt it only china bidding before? or am i forgetting some rumors?

Not only New York is showing in this video, but also Kyoto too!
I heard HNA group bought Aman shares.

Always thought Aman NY would be due in 2019, but considering how long in advance teasers were sent for Shanghai, this might be accurate.

From what I gather, Kyoto has longer lead time...

I've seen the site being cordoned off in Kyoto. I guess they're taking their time for whatever they have planned there.

Vietnam Azerai to be launched in December

Adrian Zecha's new Azerai Can Tho in the Mekong Delta, to be launched in December, already described in detail at the Azerai website including some downloads:

https://www.azerai.com/can-tho

I am wondering about one thing: Rooms are ALL 35 square meters - why not add some larger suites? Could keep low entry rates, but also add higher revenue rooms for travelers in search of more space!

I think he wants it to be as egalitarian as possible. Just different than his previous ventures.

How does one get there? The website speaks of it being a half hour drive from the Can Tho Airport to the hotel paviliion and then a 10 minute boat ride. However, an arbitrary date I checked had no nonstop flights from Ho Chi Minh. Google maps indicates it is a 3 1/2 hour drive from Ho Chi Minh.
