Unscripted by Hyatt Brand Debuts Globally with Wink Joining World of Hyatt

• Six properties of the made-in-Vietnam brand join Unscripted by Hyatt portfolio, more than doubling Hyatt’s brand presence in Vietnam

CHICAGO (January 6, 2026) – Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) and Indochina Kajima announced today that Wink in Vietnam is joining the Unscripted by Hyatt brand. This strategic agreement between Hyatt and Indochina Kajima, a joint venture between Indochina Capital and Kajima Corporation, marks the global debut of the Unscripted by Hyatt brand and will expand Hyatt’s brand presence in Vietnam to new destinations including Can Tho, Tuy Hoa and Hai Phong.

Under the agreement, six operating Wink properties – Wink Saigon Centre, Wink Danang Centre, Wink Danang Riverside, Wink Tuy Hoa Beach, Wink Can Tho Centre and Wink Hai Phong Centre – have joined the Unscripted by Hyatt brand collection, taking Hyatt’s hotel portfolio in Vietnam from four hotels to ten. A new location, Wink Hanoi Westlake, is also set to open in late 2026. The combined seven Wink properties represent more than 2,000 rooms across Vietnam's key destinations, from the country's largest cities to emerging coastal and cultural hubs.
