PRE TOUR SAPA & HANOI 4 NIGHTS

Welcome to our mountain resort, the Silk Path Grand Sapa, perched on a private spot atop one of Sapa's highest hills. Here time stands still, giving you ample opportunities to stroll through the flower gardens and absorb captivating views of the surrounding mountain range. During colonial times Sapa - surrounded by what is referred to as the "Vietnamese Alps" - was a hill station where the French escaped the Hanoi heat, and this heritage is reflected in our elegant, regal interior design and architecture.
