InterContinental Halong Bay Resort Weaves Its First Festive Season in Splendor
This festive season, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort unveils its inaugural celebration under the evocative theme “Golden Nets, Gathering Joy” — an homage to the fishing heritage of Ha Long Bay and the enduring art of connection. The campaign embodies both the spirit of craftsmanship and the quiet poetry of the bay, transforming the resort into a luminous haven where the golden threads of culture, cuisine, and community intertwine. The resort embraces the festive spirit with décor that is refined yet elegant, blending the brand’s signature champagne gold with the soft green of fresh pine. From the towering Christmas tree in the main lobby to the intimate holiday corners at the Residences lobby and Club InterContinental Lounge, every detail evokes the quiet sophistication of Christmas by the Bay. To embody this spirit of connection, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort introduces The Magical Bay, a stay package inviting guests to embrace the joy of togetherness, relaxation, and discovery. Designed for families and couples alike, the package includes daily breakfast at Marina Kitchen, festive welcome amenities, seasonal recreation activities, and a special Zero-Waste Festive Cocktail Workshop where creativity and celebration intertwine. Guests can also unwind with a 60-minute spa treatment for two — a serene interlude amid the season’s vibrant celebrations. The festive spirit continues across the resort’s dining destinations, each curating its own chapter of culinary delight. At Marina Kitchen, the season opens with A Holiday Symphony, a lavish dinner set menu honoring timeless festive flavors. The celebration continues with Bubbles & Bells: The Christmas Brunch Affair at La Baguette, where the warm glow of holiday lights and joyful melodies create the perfect setting for cherished family gatherings. As the year draws to a close, Brunch of New Beginnings at the French-style bistro offers a sweet prelude to the new year, enjoyed against the breathtaking panorama of Ha Long Bay. For those seeking calm and refinement, Festive Afternoon Tea Delights at Vue Lounge invites guests to slow down and savor handcrafted pastries and aromatic teas amidst a cozy Christmas ambiance. Meanwhile, the seasonal cocktail collection at Vue and Del Mar calls for sunset toasts and lively cheers, where each sip captures the sparkle and spirit of the holidays. Beyond the festivities for adults, the season at InterContinental Halong Bay Resort also unfolds into a world of wonder for younger guests at Planet Trekkers. From decorating gingerbread houses and enjoying timeless Christmas classics to joining the Festive Passport Adventure — a playful journey of discovery — every experience is thoughtfully designed to create treasured family memories. At Hidden Lagoon Spa, the rhythm of the holidays gives way to a sanctuary of calm and renewal. The Festive Glow Journey features Infrared Sauna Therapy, a gentle detox experience that soothes muscles, improves circulation, and restores vitality — the perfect reset after a long year. Complementing it, the New Year Renewal Ritual offers full-body rejuvenation on an Alpha Quartz Sand Bed, where natural quartz warmth helps release tension, enhance circulation, and reveal radiant, refreshed skin. Each treatment harmonizes precise technique with festive serenity — guiding guests toward balance, tranquility, and a renewed sense of self to close the year in peace and welcome the next in radiant energy. Throughout the season, guests are invited to immerse themselves in a calendar of special moments — from exquisite dining journeys and family activities to creative workshops by the bay. Each celebration is a golden thread woven into a tapestry of joy — where people come together, shine brightly, and welcome the new year with hope and delight at the heart of Ha Long’s wonder. Bookings for The Magical Bay package are available from now until 5 January 2026, for stays between 5 December 2025 and 5 January 2026. A minimum of two consecutive nights is required, and the offer cannot be combined with other promotions. Each room accommodates up to two adults and one child under twelve years old, with children under six dining free at participating venues. Guests aged twelve and above are considered as the third person and subject to an additional charge.
InterContinental Halong Bay Resort Unveils Premier MICE Facilities
InterContinental Halong Bay Resort, now open in the exclusive Ha Long Marina Urban Area, has unveiled its purpose-built event spaces, equipped with advanced audio-visual systems and powered by interactive meetings technology. Serving as a central hub, the Meetings Centre offers omnidirectional microphones, a Logitech video-conference camera, four expansive LCD screens, and customisable LED lighting, designed to support more immersive events. As the Asia-Pacific MICE industry accelerates—valued at USD 212.83 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 328.97 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 9.10%—Vietnam has emerged as one of the region’s most compelling destinations for business events. The country’s MICE sector is forecast to grow to USD 7.28 billion by 2025 and to USD 9.76 billion by 2030, driven by government investment, improved infrastructure, and increasing global connectivity. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its natural beauty, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is designed to meet the growing demand for MICE and corporate travel in the region. The resort offers a comprehensive range of venues, accommodating everything from international conferences to intimate board meetings, complemented by a tailored programme of immersive cultural experiences. “Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a leading MICE destination, supported by enhanced connectivity, expanding international flight networks and streamlined e‑visa procedures making it easier for global organisations to plan and deliver events,” said Jesper Bach Larsen, General Manager, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort. “Our dedicated venues and flexible spaces allow planners to deliver seamless meetings and at the gateway to Ha Long City, we offer culturally rich, immersive experiences that redefine what luxury incentives and corporate travel can truly mean.” The resort’s approach to incentives focuses on authenticity and immersion. Tailored excursions offer delegates rare access to local life in Ha Long Bay—whether sailing through limestone karsts on a private cruise, visiting floating fishing villages such as Vung Vieng and Cua Van, or taking behind-the-scenes tours at the Ha Long Pearl Farm. These experiences allow delegates and incentive travellers to connect with the culture and people of the region, reflecting the broader shift towards purpose-led business travel. Event spaces at InterContinental Halong Bay Resort include the Tonkin Grand Ballroom, a pillarless, state-of-the-art space accommodating up to 1,050 guests theatre-style, 810 for receptions, or 680 for banquets. The Cat Ba Ballroom, located on the 6th floor, is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light and can accommodate up to 252 guests theatre-style or 160 for banquets. A range of smaller spaces including the Cong Tay Room, Ngoc Vung Room, Chairman’s Boardroom and a VIP Lounge offer flexible layouts for board meetings, breakout sessions or private dining. For outdoor events, the resort features a landscaped garden for up to 380 guests and a panoramic terrace accommodating up to 390, both offering distinctive al fresco settings. As part of IHG’s Meetings for Good initiative, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort supports planners in delivering more sustainable event experiences through responsible practices embedded across the property. A digital-first approach helps reduce waste, with collateral replacing printed materials and digital signage used for wayfinding, eliminating the need for paper or foam boards. Single-use plastics are avoided wherever possible, with filtered water offered in pitchers, bottled glassware, or at refill stations throughout the meeting spaces. Energy consumption is minimised through reduced HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and lighting policies during set-up, tear-down, event breaks, and overnight downtime. The resort also provides reusable service ware to reduce reliance on disposables. Together, these initiatives reflect the resort’s commitment to shaping the future of responsible travel—aligned with IHG’s True Hospitality for Good purpose and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Alongside its meeting spaces, InterContinental Halong Bay Resort blends productivity and wellbeing, ensuring that guests can transition effortlessly between work and relaxation. Facilities and services include 174 guestrooms and suites, many with panoramic bay views, 60 residences and 41 private villas for extended stays, digital nomads and long-stay executives or incentive groups. A bespoke wellness programme offers jet-lag recovery and stress relief therapies in collaboration with Margaret Dabbs London and Sodashi at the signature Hidden Lagoon Spa, as well as complimentary access to Timeshifter, a circadian science app that helps international travellers optimise their energy and overcome jet lag. Resort amenities include three outdoor pools, the family-friendly Planet Trekkers kids’ club, The Game Room which features a cinema, and beach activities such as volleyball and archery, as well as six eclectic dining venues that take guests on a culinary journey of regional and international flavours. InterContinental Halong Bay Resort is conveniently located just two hours from Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport, offering purpose-built facilities for meetings and events set against the dramatic natural beauty of UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay, with tailored incentives and bleisure opportunities for corporate travellers.

InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping earns LEED Gold Certification
The recently renovated InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping has earned LEED Gold Certification, becoming the first hotel in Chiang Mai to be recognised for its sustainability initiatives. In its first LEED certification since opening, the hotel achieved a total of 65 points out of 100, earning top marks for water efficiency, innovation and focus on region-specific priorities. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most recognised green building rating system and focuses on sustainable living, the health of people and the environment. A leader in sustainable hospitality, InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping is now part of a select group of eco-friendly and innovative properties around the world that meet the exacting LEED Gold criteria. According to general manager Adnan Yucel: “When redesigning the iconic hotel that is now InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping, energy efficiency and sustainability were always at the forefront of our priorities. We are immensely proud that our dedication has been recognised with LEED Gold Certification. By combining the latest in green technology and architecture with deep respect for Thailand’s cultural heritage, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable luxury.” Staying sustainable To reduce water use, the team at InterContinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping relies on 100 percent recycled water for landscape irrigation, and recycled water and water-saving fixtures for indoor systems. By choosing native and adaptable plants for its gardens, the hotel has not only contributed to restoring and protecting habitat areas from development and construction activities but has also ensured a significant reduction in water usage. As part of the efforts to minimise nighttime light pollution, backlight reduction lamps soften exterior glare, while facade and landscape lighting automatically turns off between midnight and 6:00 am. To reduce energy consumption, solar panels connect directly to the hotel’s electrical system, bypassing battery storage, and cover over three percent of the annual energy cost. In addition, high-performance laminated glass has replaced the original vision glass, ensuring enhanced energy efficiency throughout the building. Finally, to mitigate the effect of tropical heat, light-coloured pavements were chosen for the hardscape areas. With over 45 percent of the site dedicated to open spaces, including diverse green zones, social areas and recreational spaces, both guests and team members can enjoy social interactions in calming natural environments. Sustainable by design The hotel’s design, highly ranked by LEED for its commitment for innovation, celebrates Lanna culture by including such elements as the Pan Ya-style roof which was inspired by the region’s vernacular architecture. Such elements form a spiritual link between the modern building and the heritage temple on-site. Inside, carefully chosen graphics, textures and materials inspired by Lanna elements blend contemporary geometric structures with a time-honoured cultural identity.
