“Best Western Premier Sapphire Ha Long is a fantastic new hotel that provides international accommodation in an unsurpassed location, in the heart of one of the world’s most desirable destinations,” said Mr. Olivier Berrivin, Best Western Hotels & Resorts’ Managing Director of International Operations - Asia. “As a globally-recognized World Heritage Site and one of the ‘New7Wonders of Nature’, Ha Long Bay is the jewel in Vietnam’s tourism crown. Our wonderful new waterfront hotel will perfectly showcase this breathtaking landscape.”
“This landmark signing is a wonderful example of how Best Western’s portfolio is evolving in Asia-Pacific. As a fully managed property, Best Western Premier Sapphire Ha Long will benefit from our company’s 70-plus years of hospitality expertise and extensive global support network. Sleek, stylish and spacious, this landmark hotel will combine seamless stays with stunning views. We look forward to working with Doji Land to bring their vision to life, and to welcoming our first guests to Ha Long Bay in 2020.”
Nestled in northern Quang Ninh province, Ha Long Bay features approximately 2,000 islets and limestone karsts jutting out from the water in a variety of dramatic shapes and sizes. This makes it an ideal destination for outdoor adventure and recreation, including boat tours, cave exploration, and kayaking.
Best Western Premier Sapphire Ha Long marks the latest phase of Best Western’s Vietnamese expansion strategy, following Best Western Premier Sonasea Phu Quoc.
