Sapphire Residence Hạ Long

Sapphire Residence Hạ Long is a 4-star hotel in Hon Gai, Ha Long Bay, 2.2 km from the town centre, with sea-view rooms that each have a balcony or terrace. It suits couples and families who want a comfortable base in the city, with an outdoor swimming pool and a kids' club on site.

The four sea-view rooms are 38 m² each, with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a shower, bathrobes and free toiletries. The choice runs from a Double Room with Partial Sea View, with a standard double bed, to a King Room with Sea View and studios with an extra-large super-king bed. A Studio with Ocean View is the one room for three guests.

Guests can use a 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, a lift, daily housekeeping, laundry and ironing, and a shared kitchen. Families will find a kids' club, an indoor play area and a kids' pool, and the outdoor swimming pool has sun loungers and sun umbrellas. The property also offers a work desk and a TV.

Sapphire Residence Hạ Long has five rooms in the range. Four are sea-view rooms of 38 m²: the Double Room with Partial Sea View, the King Room with Sea View and two Studios with Sea View. Each has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a balcony or terrace, and a private bathroom with a shower and bidet. The Double Room has a standard double bed, while the King Room and the studios have an extra-large double bed in the super-king size.

The fifth room, a Studio with Ocean View, is the only one of the range sized for three guests, with the same extra-large double bed as the studios. Across the sea-view rooms the core setup is the same, so the choice comes down to bed size and view: the Double Room adds city and inner courtyard views to its partial sea view, and every sea-view room also has a landmark view.
