Framed by lush mountains and the turquoise waters of the South China Sea, Ascott Dadonghai Bay Sanya offers beautiful scenery before guests even step inside. Located in Hainan Island’s popular Dadonghai Scenic Area, the serviced residence was Ascott’s first property in a resort destination.

With Luhuitou Mountain as its backdrop and the crescent-shaped Dadonghai coastline nearby, the setting is a natural draw for travellers who appreciate beautiful surroundings. Dadonghai Beach, known for its 2.9km stretch of white sand and warm waters, is also within easy reach.

The property’s interiors take inspiration from its tropical setting, with soft hues, warm woods, natural stone and woven textures throughout its 186 apartments and suites.

This UNESCO-recognised cultural heritage is also celebrated in the lobby, where a colourful 2.6-metre tapestry offers a contemporary interpretation of Li brocade.

Hanoi has long been a favourite among food lovers, celebrated for its fragrant bowls of  pho, lively street-food stalls and increasingly sophisticated dining scene.

Set along the shores of West Lake, Ascott Tay Ho Hanoi is preparing to introduce another reason to visit the Vietnamese capital. The ambitious development will bring together luxury accommodation, dining and entertainment, with 10 food and beverage concepts planned as part of its full opening in 2027.

Among the anticipated openings is Maison Kayser, the French artisan bakery making its Hanoi debut. Known for its traditional bread-making techniques, freshly baked pastries and French café culture, the bakery will offer a taste of Paris in the Vietnamese capital. Japanese dining will also feature prominently, with concepts from Tokyo-based Ukai, a hospitality group whose restaurants span Michelin-starred teppanyaki experiences and traditional tofu-based kaiseki cuisine.

Together, these additions promise an exciting range of dining experiences for guests who enjoy seeking out exceptional food while travelling.

The surrounding Tay Ho district is also worth exploring for its culinary offerings. The West Lake neighbourhood is known for its international restaurants, independent cafés and lakeside dining spots, making it an excellent base for experiencing Hanoi’s evolving food scene.

Visitors can also venture into the Old Quarter for local favourites such as bún chả (grilled pork served with rice noodles and dipping sauce), bánh cuốn (steamed rice rolls filled with minced pork and mushrooms) and cà phê trứng (Vietnamese egg coffee made with whipped egg yolk and condensed milk). The city’s neighbourhood eateries offer even more opportunities to sample traditional Vietnamese cooking.

The development’s International Convention Centre, which opened in 2025, is already welcoming conferences, weddings and large-scale celebrations. It features two grand ballrooms with a combined capacity of up to 2,000 guests, alongside 13 versatile meeting rooms.

When the hotel and serviced residence complex opens in 2027, it will introduce 1,165 accommodation units and an extensive collection of amenities, completing a destination where guests can stay, dine and celebrate in one address.

For travellers who plan their holidays around memorable meals, Ascott Tay Ho Hanoi is certainly one to keep on the radar.
