The Sapphire S2 Hạ Long

Above Bến Đoan pier on Ha Long's inner waterfront, The Sapphire S2 positions guests within direct sightline of the limestone karsts that define the bay — balconies face the water rather than the city's back streets.

Rooms come with bathtubs, bathrobes, slippers, and a tea and coffee setup; a refrigerator and kitchenware suit guests extending beyond a single night. The outdoor swimming pool and sauna offer recovery options without leaving the property, and parking is available on-site.

Bến Đoan sits at the embarkation point for most Ha Long Bay cruise operators, making early-morning departures straightforward. The surrounding Hạ Long City waterfront strip keeps night markets and seafood restaurants within a short walk.
