Hotel de la Coupole - MGallery

The ornate indoor pool on the seventh floor, styled in French Indochine excess, gives you a sense of what this MGallery hotel is doing in the Vietnamese mountain town of Sapa. The architecture is the personality here, not just the backdrop, and the Nuages spa carries the same weight. It holds a Michelin Key, which feels about right for a place that manages genuine luxury without forgetting it's perched in the highlands.
