Lamarck University, inaugurated in 1904, was named after the then popular French scientist Jean Baptiste Lamarck, but was closed during the Vietnam war in the 1970s. In January 2017 JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay saw the potential to brush off the dust and to resurrect the property back to her former glory as a one-of-a-kind beach resort through a restoration project led by hospitality designer Bill Bensley.
