The Grand Ho Tram: Vietnam's Top Poker Festival Destination

The Grand Ho Tram (InterContinental Grand Ho Tram) is Vietnam’s premier integrated beachfront resort, located along the scenic Ho Tram Strip. As the country’s first “Las Vegas style” gaming destination, it features a 5,000㎡ world-class casino floor and the only international-standard permanent poker room in the region. The venue gained global fame as the host of the inaugural Asian Poker Tour (APT) Vietnam and continues to be a top-tier choice for elite tournament series.

The Ho Tram Poker Experience

The poker action at The Grand Ho Tram centres on seasonal international festivals, drawing a high-caliber field of regional and global players to its dedicated poker room, managed by professional international operators. The venue is renowned for its tournament play across No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha formats. As of early 2026, the casino has transitioned to local currency (VND) for all wagering, aligning with updated government regulations.
For tournament players, the venue offers the 1,500-capacity Grand Ballroom, which has hosted record-breaking fields for regional championships and global tours. Beyond the tables, the resort is a lifestyle destination; players can enjoy the award-winning buffet-cited as one of the best in Vietnam-or unwind at the Azure Beach Lounge between tournament flights.
