InterContinental Halong Bay Resort

Balconies facing Ha Long Bay's limestone karsts are available at multiple room tiers, and springing for one is an easy argument to make. This large international luxury resort sits on the Ha Long Marina waterfront with close to 300 rooms, from standard garden-facing options up to multi-bedroom villas. Restaurants cover fresh seafood, Cantonese, and Viet-French; excursions onto the UNESCO-listed bay, with its islands and floating villages, are straightforwardly arranged.
