The best accommodations North

Outdoor swimming pool. A 4-star hotel with massive architecture and without grace. 184 rooms with international luxury standards. The height of the building makes it possible to have a beautiful view over the bay. Despite Dream, it's really not Ha Long as we had dreamed.

The most chic.

Away from Sapa, just beyond the village of Ta Van, this superb ecolodge sits on a mountainside with uninterrupted views over the valley and terraced rice fields. This large wooden chalet boasts comfortable rooms with simple but charming decor, each with a terrace to enjoy the panorama. The owner, Mme So, offers a warm welcome. A friendly atmosphere and excellent traditional cuisine. It's a unique experience, a chance to share in the daily life of a Hmông family that you'll remember for a long time to come!

One of the most popular guesthouses in the village of Pac Ngoi. Warm family welcome in this traditional house with well-kept rooms, which have air conditioning and wifi, with a friendly terrace where you can contemplate the superb panorama while tasting excellent cuisine.

Facilities for organizing excursions, on foot or by bicycle, as well as a boat or kayak ride on the lake.

At the heart of the Sun Plaza complex lies a 5-star hotel of unparalleled charm... Welcome to the Hotel de la Coupole, with its luxurious setting subtly blending the codes of a palace with the influences of the region's tribes. The rooms are beautifully decorated in 1920s Art Deco style. All are superb, with all the comforts expected of an establishment of this category. The ceiling heights in the bar and restaurant are grandiose. A sure bet.

Mr. Luat welcomes you to his beautiful wooden house on stilts, so characteristic of the Thai ethnic group. A step that allows you to immerse yourself in the uniqueness of this village life, which has preserved most of its traditions.

Rather rustic conditions (with hot water and wifi...), but we are in an authentic house of the red Dao ethnic group. Very warm welcome, homemade cuisine and traditional herbal bath.

Near the Ban Gioc Falls, a kind of large bare stone barn on stilts. The establishment operates as a kind of cooperative, managed by the families of the village. Rather spartan conditions, but a very warm welcome and good cuisine.

Village inn. Basic comfort (hot water, wi fi...). Good for information and ideas for excursions and photographic walks in the surrounding villages.

In a small hamlet north of Meo Vac, a traditional Yamen style farmhouse that welcomes guests. The setting, with buildings that respect the history of the site and blend into the landscape, is superb.

At the end of the visit of the Flag Tower in Lung Cu, the northernmost point of Vietnam, you can spend the night in a beautiful wooden house in the ethnic village of Lô Lô Chai. Traditional beds in a common room.

House on stilts equipped to receive guests. In a quiet area, the family welcome is warm, the conditions relatively comfortable and it is very easy to organize the boat trip.

Very correct rooms at the back of this restaurant which has kept the facade of a traditional ethnic house. Efficient service and advice.
