Aira Boutique Hanoi Hotel & Spa
Hanoi, Vietnam
With 60 elegantly appointed rooms, the Aira Boutique Hanoi is large enough to offer a full array of high-end services such as a 360-degree panoramic view sky bar, an award-winning restaurant, a bakery and coffee shop, spa service, a boutique, a gym, and an all-season infinity pool, yet small enough to provide you with personalized attention. Step off the bustling streets of Hanoi and enter a serene retreat.
Orchid Cruise
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
A traditional-style Vietnamese junk boat, the Orchid Cruise features elegant cabins with large windows, balconies, and bathtubs. The vessel is equipped with kayaks and bamboo boats to allow guests to explore, and it is the perfect size to cruise nimbly around the thousands of islets that dot the bay. The ship’s restaurant is wrapped with windows, and the sundeck features lounge spaces, a Jacuzzi, as well as an area for tai chi or yoga. All meals are included while on board.
La Siesta Resort & Spa, Hoi An
Hoi An, Vietnam
The La Siesta Resort & Spa is located in a quiet spot overlooking paddy fields, yet is within easy reach of the UNESCO-protected old town of Hoi An. The rooms are set in tropical gardens, and combine modern amenities with traditional Vietnamese design. The hotel has one restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi, as well as a spa and gym. A complimentary shuttle service is offered connecting guests to the old town and Cua Dai beach. There are also bicycles available for guests to explore the local area.
Montra Nivesha
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Built in the style of a traditional Khmer home and set around a peaceful swimming pool, the intimate Montra Nivesha has a more personal feel than many of the larger properties in the area. Designed in teak and furnished with Khmer artifacts, the hotel has a serene ambiance that is complemented by the attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant serves some of the best fish amok in Cambodia, while the pool and spa offer a welcome respite from a day exploring temples in the tropical heat.
