The hotel is located in Sapa, 380 km north-west of Hanoi, among the Hoang Lien Mountains, in Lao Cai Province, near the Chinese border. This is the only luxury hotel in north-western Vietnam and was opened in March 1998. Built as a traditional mountain chalet with accented wooden decor and a welcoming stone hearth fireplace, the resort overhangs the village, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings, and offers 77 stylishly designed rooms. With luxury dining and sleeping carriages, the Victoria Express Train is the ideal means of transportation to travel from Hanoi to Lao Cai (Sapa). The location and luxury services of the hotel have been carefully planned to allow guests to experience something different and unique, in close harmony with nature and with the local hill-tribe people. The resort's rooms each come with private terrace, wood flooring and a warm touch of local decoration. Guests will feel at ease in the 'mountain chalet' atmosphere. All guest rooms offer views over Sapa village, the resort's lush gardens or Mount Fansipan. The resort offers the best recreation choices in Sapa. Mountain trekking is the most exciting and interesting activity to explore the mountain villages.
