Ho Chi Minh City, 20 December 2025 – Wink Hotels, one of Vietnam’s fastest-growing contemporary hospitality brands, and California Fitness & Yoga, the country’s leading wellness and fitness provider, today announced a comprehensive strategic partnership that bridges the gap between travel and wellness. This collaboration represents a significant shift in how Vietnamese consumers can experience both hospitality and fitness, creating an integrated ecosystem designed specifically for health-conscious travelers and fitness enthusiasts who refuse to compromise their wellness routines while exploring Vietnam.

The partnership signing ceremony, held at California Centuryon SaiGon Centre, brought together key leadership from both organizations, including Mr. Sy Nguyen, Head of Sales of Wink Hotels, and Mr. Tom Phan, Head of PT from California Fitness & Yoga, alongside members of the press and industry stakeholders. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in Vietnam’s evolving hospitality and wellness sectors, responding directly to the growing demand for lifestyle-integrated services that support active, balanced living.

Where Wellness Meets Wanderlust

The partnership addresses a critical gap in Vietnam’s travel market: the challenge travelers face in maintaining their wellness routines while away from home. For many fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious individuals, travel often means interrupting carefully cultivated habits and routines. By combining Wink Hotels’ design-forward properties, which celebrate Vietnamese culture through contemporary hospitality, with California Fitness & Yoga’s comprehensive wellness facilities and expert training programs, this alliance creates a unique value proposition that serves both the domestic and international travel markets.

“At Wink Hotels, we’ve always believed that true hospitality means caring for our guests’ complete well-being – not just providing a place to sleep, but creating spaces where they can thrive,” said Mr. Sy Nguyen, Head of Sales of Wink Hotels. “This partnership with California Fitness & Yoga allows us to extend our hospitality beyond the room, ensuring our guests wake up refreshed and have access to world-class wellness facilities. We’re not just hosting travelers; we’re supporting their journey to live healthier, more balanced lives while discovering the best of Vietnam.”

Mr. Tom Phan, Head of PT from California Fitness & Yoga added: “We believe that wellness should be accessible wherever you are. By partnering with Wink Hotels, we’re bringing fitness and wellness experiences directly to travelers, ensuring they never have to compromise on their health goals, whether they’re on business trips or vacation. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our mission to inspire healthier lifestyles across Vietnam. Our members have long requested better integration between their fitness routines and travel plans, and this partnership delivers exactly that.”

Transforming Travel Into A Wellness Journey

The strategic collaboration introduces a comprehensive suite of benefits designed to seamlessly integrate fitness and travel experiences. At the heart of the partnership is California Fitness & Yoga’s provision of 14-day training passes specifically for Wink Hotels guests. This extended access period allows travelers to fully immerse themselves in their wellness routines without the typical constraints of limited gym access that often comes with hotel stays. Whether guests are on extended business trips, family vacations, or exploring Vietnam’s diverse destinations, they can maintain their fitness momentum with the same quality facilities and programs they rely on at home.

Wink Hotels guests will also benefit from exclusive discounts and promotions developed specifically for the wellness-conscious traveler. These offers recognize that guests who prioritize their health and fitness deserve special consideration, creating additional value for those who choose to integrate wellness into their travel plans. The discounts extend across both accommodation packages and fitness services, making it more accessible for travelers to maintain their health commitments while on the road.

A cornerstone of the partnership is the co-hosted Group X, Yoga, Nutrition, and Health Care workshops that will take place once every two months at Wink Hotels properties across Vietnam. These bi-monthly sessions create regular touchpoints for the growing community of wellness-focused individuals, offering expert-led education on diverse topics ranging from high-intensity group training and mindful yoga practices to nutritional guidance and holistic health care. Led by California Fitness & Yoga’s certified trainers and wellness specialists, these workshops transform Wink Hotels properties into wellness hubs where knowledge, community, and healthy living converge.

Beyond group activities, the partnership ensures personalized attention through California Fitness & Yoga’s provision of professional personal training services at Wink Hotels’ gym facilities at preferential rates. This means guests who prefer one-on-one guidance can work with certified personal trainers without leaving their hotel property, receiving expert coaching tailored to their individual fitness levels, goals, and the unique constraints of traveling. The preferential pricing makes premium personal training more accessible to a broader range of guests, democratizing access to professional fitness guidance.

A Shared Vision For Healthier Living

The signing ceremony in Hanoi represented more than a business agreement; it symbolized a shared commitment to elevating the quality of life for Vietnamese consumers and international visitors alike. Both brands recognize that modern consumers increasingly seek lifestyle solutions that fit seamlessly into their daily routines and travel patterns, rather than forcing them to choose between their wellness commitments and their desire to explore.

This partnership reflects broader trends in both the hospitality and wellness industries, where boundaries between sectors are dissolving in favor of integrated lifestyle offerings. As Vietnam’s middle class continues to grow and travel becomes more accessible, the demand for hotels that support wellness routines—and fitness facilities that acknowledge members’ travel needs—will only increase. Wink Hotels and California Fitness & Yoga are positioning themselves at the forefront of this shift, creating a model that other brands in both industries may seek to emulate.

The collaboration also strengthens both brands’ positions in their respective markets. For Wink Hotels, the partnership differentiates its properties from competitors by offering genuine wellness integration rather than simply including a basic gym facility. For California Fitness & Yoga, it extends the brand’s value proposition beyond its physical locations, demonstrating to members that their investment in fitness membership provides benefits even when they’re traveling.

Looking ahead, both organizations have indicated that this partnership may expand to include additional benefits, more locations, and deeper integration between their service offerings. The initial phase focuses on establishing the framework and introducing both communities to the partnership benefits, but future phases could include co-branded wellness retreats, exclusive fitness travel packages, and potentially even purpose-built wellness floors or wings at select Wink Hotels properties.
