Local Attractions

Cafe Lien Hiep Hotel’s central location puts three of Da Lat’s top attractions within easy reach:

• Xuan Huong Lake: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this iconic man-made lake sits in the heart of Da Lat. Stroll the paved shoreline past blooming hydrangeas and pine trees, rent a paddleboat for a quiet afternoon on the water, or stop at a roadside stall for fresh Da Lat strawberries at sunset.
• Da Lat Market: A 15-minute walk away, this bustling indoor-outdoor market is the best place to sample local specialties like avocado ice cream, artichoke tea, and dried wild mushrooms, plus pick up handmade silk souvenirs and fresh cut flowers to take home.
• Dalat Cathedral: A 12-minute walk from the hotel, this striking 1920s French Gothic cathedral features stained glass windows, red-tiled spires, and sweeping views over the city from its hilltop location. It is still an active parish, and visitors are welcome outside of mass times.

Travel Tips

Da Lat’s high altitude means temperatures drop sharply in the evenings, so pack a light jacket or sweater even during the summer months. Book the hotel’s airport transfer in advance to avoid inflated taxi fares from the airport, and confirm your parking reservation at least 48 hours early if you are renting a car to explore the surrounding highlands. The hotel’s central location means most attractions are walkable, but you can also rent a motorbike or hire a local driver for day trips to nearby attractions like Lang Biang Mountain or the Valley of Love. The hotel can arrange these trips for you through their trusted local partners.
