Best Luxury Hotels in Quang Ninh

With 275 guestrooms, suites, villas and residences, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort sits at the heart of Vietnam’s most celebrated seascape, the UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay. Just two hours from Hanoi in the exclusive Ha Long Marina district, the property blends striking architecture by WATG with interiors from P49Deesign, evoking bamboo basket boats, iridescent pearls and the colours of sea and shore. Guests can choose from six dining experiences, including Marina Kitchen’s modern seafood, the French-Vietnamese bistrot La Baguette, the poolside Del Mar and Vue, the light-filled lobby lounge.

Two signature restaurants, Roku & Star Bar with its sake library and Yulong Mansion with refined Cantonese cuisine, add further distinction. Hidden Lagoon Spa, in collaboration with Margaret Dabbs London and Sodashi, provides a sanctuary of wellness, while three pools, outdoor sports and a fitness centre invite relaxation and activity. Families are well-served with Planet Trekkers kids’ club and The Game Room, while elegant ballrooms accommodate celebrations and gatherings. Beyond the resort, curated experiences connect travellers to the heritage of Ha Long Bay, from ancient pagodas and floating villages to pearl farms and limestone caves, positioning the resort as both a retreat and a gateway.
