Novotel Ha Long Bay is scheduled to open 1 October.

Novotel Ha Long Bay is Novotel’s third addition to its network in Vietnam that includes Novotel Dalat and Novotel Ocean Dunes & Golf Resort. It is also the ninth hotel being managed by Accor in the country.

Four other Novotels in Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Hoi An and Hanoi are under development and are expected to join the Vietnam network by 2011.

Accor claims the 214 room Novotel Ha Long Bay wil be the first internationally branded hotel in the Ha Long Bay area.

The hotel offers leisure facilities including an outdoor swimming pool overlooking Ha Long Bay, a spa, fitness centre, restaurant that serves Asian and Western dishes, an executive lounge and a contemporary style lobby lounge bar.

In addition to leisure facilities, the hotel has conference facilities capable of hosting up to 300 delegates, and is supported by audio and visual equipment.

Opening rates start from US$110++ per room per night inclusive of buffet breakfast. A ‘Stay & Cruise’ package that includes a four hour cruise on the bay is available from just US$145++ for two, and also includes breakfast.
