5* Intercontinental Hanoi Westlake, Vietnam & 5* Sofitel Royal Angkor, Cambodia
“Experience the exotic and the extraordinary”
On the banks of Hô Tây Lake the new InterContinental Westlake Hanoi overlooks the 800-year-old Golden Lotus Pagoda on Hanoi's largest lake. The only hotel in Vietnam to be featured on Condé Nast Traveller's prestigious 2008 Hot List, you can be assured of a stylish and contemporary setting with impeccable service. With a magnificent waterfront location and the historic city centre but a 10-minute ride away, the Intercontinental is in an ideal location. Within easy reach are a wide range of shopping and cultural venues.
Vietnam is a country of extraordinary extremes and distinctive experiences. From kayaking in Halong Bay, marvelling at the 14th century Cham ruins at My Son, relaxing on the pristine beaches of Danang and exploring ornate temples, ancient cobblestone streets of Hoi An and the modern high-rises of Ho Chi Minh City. It is a land of rugged mountains, lush forests, dense jungles and verdant rice paddies, with unspoiled beaches, bicycle-thronged cities and peaceful, rustic villages. Whether you choose the hustle and bustle of the city in Hanoi and Saigon or the coolness of Dalat, take a tour of this fascinating country, or simply want to spend your holiday enjoying the sunshine and the beaches of the central region, Vietnam will not disappoint.
Sofitel Royal Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort, Siem Reap sits in spacious tropical grounds with an ornamental lake, and boasts fantastic facilities. Managed by trusted French group Sofitel, impeccable service and fine cuisine come as standard at this resort-styled luxury hotel.
Take a sip in the large freeform pool, hit the fitness centre or savour a blissful treatment at the spa. Golf enthusiasts can tee off on the resort's world class 18-hole course.
A land of contrasts, the exotic Kingdom of Cambodia offers a world heritage site, the temples of Angkor in the west, the beaches of the southern coast and the ethnic minorities of the northern regions. Siem Reap is the embodiment of contrasts and despite the massive shift in its economic fortunes over the past few years, remains a safe and friendly town. Here, visitors have the opportunity to explore the most famous of all the temples on the Angkor Plain, Angkor Wat. A visit to Ta Prohm, Banteay Srei and Les Artisans d'Angkor - Chantiers Ecoles, where you will experience the skills of local Cambodian artists and find stone carvings, prints and handmade silks, is also a must.
5 nights in the Intercontinental Hanoi Westlake, then flying to Siem Reap for a 5 night stay in the Sofitel. B&B basis from £2414.00pp from London Heathrow.
