Attractions

Three unmissable nearby attractions make this location ideal:

• Xuan Huong Lake: Just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, this serene man-made lake sits at the center of Da Lat. Stroll the tree-lined shore, rent a paddleboat for an hour on the water, or stop at a street side stall to try warm roasted chestnuts as you watch mist roll over the water at sunrise.
• Da Lat Railway Station: One kilometer from the hotel, this art-deco colonial landmark is the oldest train station in Vietnam. Ride the vintage heritage train to the nearby village of Trai Mat to explore a Linh Phuoc Pagoda, famous for its intricate mosaic architecture made from broken glass and pottery.
• Dalat Flower Garden: A 10-minute drive from the hotel, this 7-hectare garden showcases hundreds of varieties of native highland flowers, from vibrant hydrangeas to delicate roses. It’s especially magical in spring, when blooms are at their peak, and perfect for photography.

Travel Tips

Da Lat’s highland weather is cool year-round, so pack a light jacket or sweater for evenings, even in summer. Book the hotel’s paid spa treatments in advance, as slots fill up quickly during peak tourist season (December to February). If you plan to explore surrounding waterfalls or hiking trails, the hotel’s tour desk can arrange trusted drivers and guides for a reasonable fee. Finally, don’t miss the opportunity to start your day with the hotel’s in-room breakfast, where you can order local specialties like banh mi and Vietnamese coffee to enjoy from your balcony as you take in the cool mountain air.
