My recent stay in Halong Bay at Halong Paradise Suites is one that I will always remember fondly. Flowers are everywhere on the hotel's terrace, while cosy iron chair with coloful soft cushions, romantic table settings and ceiling fans recall the atmosphere of sidewalk cafes in Paris, where people can sit and sip a Perrier while watching the world go by. The moment you step into the hotel's foyer you feel relaxed, and the longer you stay at the hotel the more interesting experiences await you. The boutique hotel evokes the feeling of classic French luxury with its polished marble floors, dark wooden furniture, oriental décor and all-glass windows.

Lying on the large comfy bed with a feather and down duvet was nothing but comfort. The bed is the most striking feature of the room, with around six layers of cotton, duck down and mousse and is central to all activities: sleeping, working or reading. Three pillows of diffrent sizes support your back perfectly when leant on and individual swivelling reading lights adorn the wall above.

It was a major surprise for me to discover that the mix of contemporary French elegance and charming Vietnamese décor was masterminded by a local architectural firm. "The hotel will truly become and oasis of luxury and tranquility once it is fully completed at the end of this year." said Mr Nguyen Cao Son, GM of Paradise Cruises & Paradise Suites. "The Hue, HCMC, and Hanoi Blocks will be more airy and elegantly casual with lavish conveniences and rich colours that complement the styling". Only the Halong block now is open, with the Hanoi block to open in April.
