Just left the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in Vietnam, and everyone wants to know what's up

Bill Bensley is a world-renowned landscape architect who has been involved in the design of 14 Four Seasons hotels, 3 Capella hotels, the JW Marriott Phu Quoc Island, the Rosewood Luang Prabang, the Siam Hotel in Bangkok, the One & Only in the Maldives, and others. These well-known hotels have received high praise, especially the InterContinental Danang, which he designed over six years and is acclaimed as the 'most beautiful InterContinental in the world' and the 'flagship InterContinental in Asia'. The InterContinental Danang has won countless awards and is truly a masterpiece not to be missed. The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, located on the Son Tra Peninsula, enjoys the entire bay to itself. Although the beach is average, the sea is exceptionally calm. The hotel cleverly combines Eastern sensibilities, French colonial style (colonial style, haha), and modern design, with every detail meticulously crafted by the designer. The hotel's overall color scheme is based on black, white, and gray, with vibrant color accents breaking the monotony. Blue chairs, yellow fabric decorations, and pure white ornaments are particularly eye-catching. The InterContinental Danang is a resort hotel, far from the city center, and dining is primarily within the hotel. It's worth noting that a Vietnamese set meal for two can cost nearly 1500 RMB, not to mention the world-famous French restaurant 'La maison1888', where a single set meal including tax costs over 2000 RMB. Therefore, booking a room with executive privileges not only saves money but also provides a better experience. Of course, the nightly rate of 5000 RMB is not cheap, but it's enough to outshine 99% of domestic hotels at the same price. Currently, there are no direct flights from China to Danang. From what I understand, you need to transfer in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Seoul, or Singapore. These complicated transfers might deter some people's travel plans. The hotel has many real monkeys and monkey decorations, and there are also many activities, most of which are free. You just need to book in advance, such as standard paddleboarding, snorkeling, basket boat, etc. I especially recommend a few activities: Nature tour (hotel staff take you to see monkeys), boxing (super stress-relieving), Yoga (like being in a painting), and visiting Bill Bensley's gallery. If you are a hotel enthusiast and your budget allows, why not boldly book a four-night stay and experience the 'service from the heart' (the hotel staff from top to bottom take pride in the hotel and love it sincerely, you'll know when you come), and see what the 'most beautiful InterContinental in the world' and the 'flagship InterContinental in Asia' feel like. If you can bring your loved one, the experience is more than 150% better... My stay at the InterContinental Danang was due to a beautiful misunderstanding. I was busy experiencing every corner of the hotel, so I have few photos of the room. I will come again during the National Day holiday to see if the service declines when the hotel is fully booked, and to introduce the hotel from another perspective. Thank you all for reading this nearly 900-word article.
