See The Real Vietnam

The Sofitel Metropole Hanoi is a perfect base for travels around the city and region with it being located just off the famed Hoan Kiem Lake, close to the Old Quarter.

Its 364 rooms and suites are located in one of two wings, the original Metropole wing, decorated with a sense of preserved history, whilst the Opera Wing offers neo-classical elegance.

The Nam Hai is a deluxe, all villa style resort which opened at the end of 2006. Managed by the GHM Group, with the famous Datai Langkawi and Chedi Resorts as sister properties, The Nam Hai brings a totally new level of resort sophistication to Vietnam.

The resort is located 15 minutes drive outside of the city of Hoi An on the central coast area, with the nearest airport being Danang, a 35 minute drive. There are numerous flights daily from Hanoi or Saigon, as well as Singapore.

Totally tranquil and relaxing, with the accommodation and resort set beside the famous China Beach, it is luxurious and deliberately understated. The Nam Hai houses just 100 villas, each superbly decorated and extremely spacious, with walk in closets, integrated living space and equally generous en suite bathrooms with influences being taken from around the Asian region. All villas provide scenic water views from the garden terrace and some of the villas have their own temperature controlled private swimming pools as well as a private butler. For larger families or groups, there is a selection of two, three, four and five bedroom villas.

Facilities include three main swimming pools, health club, spa, a selection of specialty restaurants and locations and the bar. The recently refurbished Kids Activity Villa was  built to look like an ancient Hue garden house and specialises in a large variety of activities for varying age ranges such as treasure hunts, baking and cooking and Vietnamese language lessons. Free transportation to the 18 hole Montgomerie Links Golf Course is also available. As is the GHM style, organised entertainment will be low key/minimal with the emphasis instead on quality accommodation.

Hoi An is instantly attractive and easy on both the eye and camera lens, being a UNESCO World heritage site and one of the most interesting and picturesque cities in Vietnam. It is a real melting pot of design cultures, predominantly Chinese and Vietnamese, but with French colonial and even Japanese influences. The central region of Vietnam, with its attractive cities and cultural interests, is popular year round. Daytime temperatures rarely drop below 32 degrees, reaching a mid-summer peak. Rainfall is generally the heaviest from October to December with high sea swells, and the lowest from March to August.
 

The stunning Park Hyatt Saigon is located at Lom Son Square, only 2 minutes to the sweeping Saigon River and the shopping hub of Le Loi.

It boasts a good selection of rooms including the Park Room, offering colonial style wooden floors and walk-in rain shower, and the Park Deluxe located on the third floor and direct pool access on a private terrace.
