SmartTravelAsia, an independent online travel magazine has named four resort and hotel properties in Vietnam in its latest “Best in Travel Poll.”
The coveted Top 25 Leisure Hotels and Resorts category contains The Nam Hai and the Princess d’Annam Resort & Spa in the central provinces of Quang Nam and Binh Thuan respectively, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi in Hanoi, and Sofitel Dalat Palace in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
The Nam Hai and the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi have made the top 25 before, but it’s the first time for the Sofitel Dalat Palace and the Princess d’Annam Resort and Spa.
“To be open less than two years, and to be ranked on a list that includes the Metropole, Nam Hai and the Aman Resorts, is gratifying indeed,” Jean-Philippe Beghin, general manager of the Princess d’Annam.
This year, one million online readers participated in Smart Travel Asia’s sixth annual poll, which SmartTravelAsia.com says is a “distillation of our readers’ perceptions and favorite travel brands.”
Smart Travel Asia said its voters, on average, took 14 air trips in the past 12 months and earned US$165,000 in household income. Around 60% of the voters were based in Asia, 20% from the United Kingdom/Europe and the rest from North America.
