‘Back to school’ at Marriott deluxe resort in Vietnam: Abandoned French university is repurposed for relaxation
Designed by the Harvard-educated architect and landscape designer Bill Bensley, who is renowned for creating premier Southeast Asian resorts like the Four Seasons Langkawi in Malaysia and the Hotel de la Paix in Siem Reap in Cambodia, the JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa was designed in a quirky salute to the French university that occupied the site from 1880 until the 1940s.
