VietNamNet Bridge –The InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, built by Sun Group, on October 15th received three prizes from the World Travel Award (WTA) Asia-Oceania: the most luxurious resort in Asia; the best resort in Vietnam; and the best Spa resort in Vietnam.

The prizes were awarded at the resort, in the presence of over 200 officials, guests, and the regional and international media. This was the second time the “Oscar Award” of the tourism industry presented at this resort. As Mr. Chris Frost, vice president of the WTA Asia- Oceania, said: "This is something unprecedented in the past 23 years of the WTA". But the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort has many more exceptional stories.

InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula is among the works by world renowned architect Bill Bensley and invested by the Sun Group. Bill Bensley spent more than one year travelling around Vietnam and more than five years to devote his heart and mind to create the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort today, which is exceptional and exquisite.

Every detail of the resort was carefully selected and arranged by the talented architect to make a flawless architectural work, which reproduces the poetic beauty of Vietnamese architecture and culture with ancient Hue royal citadel, peaceful Hoi An ancient town, and rustic northern villages of Vietnam.

Visitors can view enchanted scenery, but will also be impressed by modern architecture and world-class services. InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort attracts tourists with the restaurant systems of Citron, Barefoot, and especially La Maison 1888 of the legendary 3-star Michelin chef - Pierre Gagnaire – with French cuisine.

The system of rooms at InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is designed to be simple, elegant, and open to the outside space to blend with nature.

Visitors also have the opportunity to experience Harnn Heritage Spa, the Spa honored by the World Travel Awards as the best in Asia. This spa brings customers high-end services inspired by the natural and medical therapies of Asian traditional medicine. Each of Harnn services is designed meticulously to bring ultimate relaxation for visitors.

At the pool system which is arranged to mix with the mountains and the sky of InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, guests will have quiet moments to see the waves and enjoy the tranquil and beautiful natural scenery of the Son Tra Peninsula.

The luxurious Summit rooms host many international events. Most recently, the awards ceremony of the World Travel Awards Asia and Oceania took place at the Summit. In late 2017, the Summit will host one of the most important political events of the region – the APEC Summit 2017.

Before winning the “Best Resort Hotel in the Asia-Pacific” title awarded by Business Traveler magazine in late September, Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort made it onto CNN’s list of the 21 Most Beautiful Beachfront Hotels in the World.

Its exquisite Harnn Heritage Spa is the proud holder of a 2016 World Spa Award. Its restaurant La Maison 1888 was voted by CNN as one of the ten most beautiful restaurants in the world. Over the years, the resort has been consistently recognized with prestigious awards, including World’s Leading Luxury Resorts in 2014 and 2015 by World Travel Awards, World Luxury Spa Awards, World Luxury Hotel Awards, and Smart Travel Asia Reader’s Choice. On October 15th 2016, the resort received three more awards, bringing the total prizes for the resort to 33.

InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is an exception among exceptions created by Bill Bensley, and the wish of the head of the Sun Group, which owns the property. With the enthusiasm and desire to place Vietnam onto the global tourism map, the Sun Group is creating world-class works in Vietnam.
