Hoang Son Peace Hotel  

Right in Ninh Binh, a short walk from the city center and perfectly placed for countryside escapes. Van Long Nature Reserve, Bich Dong Pagoda and Tam Coc are all nearby, so boat trips and temple runs are easy to book from the hotel.

The hotel has 130 air-conditioned rooms with warm décor, minibars, LCD TVs and bathrobes. Bathrooms include complimentary toiletries and hairdryers, and rooms offer safes and desks for work or planning your next hike.

Dive into two pools including an outdoor pool, unwind in the spa, sauna or massage room, or keep fit in the gym. There’s a garden to stroll, a karaoke corner and a BBQ area for lively nights, plus a bar and a café when you need a quick pick-me-up.

Meeting rooms, a business center and event/conference space handle work gatherings. Complimentary wireless internet, limo/town car and shuttle services (surcharge) make arrivals and transfers simple, and free self-parking is onsite.

Two on-site restaurants serve local cuisine, and a bar/lounge keeps the drinks flowing. Grab coffee at the café or use 24-hour room service; breakfast is available for a fee if you want to fuel up before exploring.
