Saigon-Halong Hotel, based in the northern province of Quang Ninh’s Halong City, has diverse services for visitors to the area
A member of HCM City-based Saigontourist Holding Company, Saigon-Halong Hotel is among the biggest tourist services providers in Halong, where there is Halong Bay, one of Vietnam’s world natural heritage sites.
The four-star hotel is located in downtown Halong. It has a panoramic view of Halong Bay and is in the proximity of boat quays, beaches and night markets.
Full services
Saigon-Halong Hotel consists of a 15-floor building and five villas on a pine hill. It has a total of 222 rooms, including 17 rooms at the villas. The rooms are divided into six different categories: Villa Superior, Villa Family, Superior, Deluxe, Executive Suite and Presidential Suite. They all face the pine hill and Halong Bay.
Saigon-Halong Hotel has five restaurants. Two of them—Elegant and Panorama—are located inside the hotel. The rest—Rung Thong (Pine Forest), Ga Thoc (Chicken with Paddy) and Saigon-Halong Restaurant Ship—are outside the hotel and specialize in serving European-Asian cuisine and Halong specialties.
The Elegant Restaurant, located on the ground floor of the hotel, serves European-Asian cuisine and breakfast buffet every day to a maximum of 150 guests. The Panorama Restaurant, on the 14th floor and as the only restaurant in the town to have a full view of Halong Bay, has 250 seats and is suitable for parties, receptions and conferences. It serves breakfast buffet every day and is also an ideal spot for travelers to watch the sunrise and sunset on the world-famous bay.
The Rung Thong Restaurant stands near the swimming pool and bears the architecture of a house on stilts. It can serve fastfood and drinks to 40 guests. The Ga Thoc Restaurant, located in front of the hotel, can serve up to 70 people with chicken specialties.
Saigon-Halong Hotel’s bars serve spirits, soft drinks, fastfood, cocktails, cigarettes and first-class cigars. Impression Lobby Bar on the ground floor of the hotel has 200 seats and is appropriate for rendezvous and relaxation. Saigon Bar, on the first floor and near the grand conference room, has 150 seats and is for guests to take a small party during a meeting break. Camellia Massage Bar, on the second floor, can serve up to 132 guests with massage and karaoke services. Poolside Bar has 30 seats and serves food and drinks for guests at the swimming pool.
The hotel has seven meeting rooms, which are named after Vietnam’s localities—Danang, Sapa, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Saigon and Halong. All the rooms are furnished with modern equipment such as screens, projectors, computers, sound and lighting systems and interpretation cabins. The biggest room can seat nearly 1,000 people.
In addition, entertainment services are also available at the hotel. They include a swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, massage, jacuzzi, karaoke and billiards. There, guests can also find other kinds of services such as child care, package tours, car rent, ship rent and currency exchange.
Discovering Halong Bay from the restaurant ship
The Saigon-Halong Restaurant Ship, owned and put into operation late last year by the Saigon-Halong Hotel, has three decks and 100 seats. The first and second decks are for serving food while the third deck is for tourists to take drinks and enjoy the night scene of Halong City.
This restaurant ship is the unique in town to serve dinner buffet every day. Tourists on board the ship can have dinner while enjoying traditional music performances and watching Halong Bay. In addition, the ship can organize a seminar or conference in conjunction with a tour of Halong Bay in the daytime upon request.
In the daytime, the Saigon-Halong Restaurant Ship serves tourists wanting to discover the beauty of Halong Bay. It starts the tour from Halong Boat Quay, bringing guests around the bay and part of Bai Tu Long Bay nearby. From the ship, tourists can see islands in existence for millions of years, which look like a dragon, an old man who sits fishing, two cocks fighting with each other, two sails, and so forth.
During the voyage, tourists are brought to Canh Doc Islet to visit Thien Cung and Dau Go caves. These two caves are 100 meters apart and are accessed by twisted ways with rock steps. The high, upright walls of Thien Cung Cave are covered with stalactites that create diverse images such as humans, animals and flowers.
On board the ship, guests also enjoy European, Asian and Vietnamese dishes, especially fresh and delicious seafood specialties of Halong.
Night boat trips to discover the beauty of Halong City and Bai Chay Bridge in the sea breeze are a distinctive strength of the Saigon-Halong Restaurant Ship, which other tourist boats in the town do not have. The first deck serves buffets, the second serves dishes from set menus and à-la-carte dishes, and the third is where tourists take a drink together with their friends or relatives.
