Perspective of InterContinental Halong Bay Resort and Residences

Artistic masterpiece inspired by the legend of "dragon descent"

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay is named after a Vietnamese legend. The name Ha Long means "descending dragon", based on an ancient legend about the Jade Emperor sending a mother dragon and her baby dragons down to earth to help the Vietnamese people fight off foreign invaders during the early days of the country's founding.

When these dragons soar into the sky, they breathe fire to burn the enemy ships and then drop pearls and emeralds into the sea, creating towering mountains of rock, smashing foreign ships, and stopping the invaders. These towering limestone mountains that blocked the invaders in ancient times have now become charming natural landscapes, interspersed in the blue-water bay of Ha Long.

Designed by WATG, the world's leading design firm, the architecture of InterContinental Halong Bay Resort reflects the heritage and vibrancy of the bayside destination, interwoven with ancient folklore stories. From there, it honors the stunning natural beauty, full of impressions between the mainland, sea, islands and small bays of Ha Long.

The famous interior design unit P49Deesign was inspired by traditional Vietnamese bamboo basket boats to breathe life into every interior design detail for the main lobby area of ​​the resort.

The restaurant’s décor is inspired by the image of a giant dragon, made entirely from bamboo, stretching across the ceiling of the restaurant, evoking the legend of Ha Long with a panoramic view of the spectacular bay.

Meanwhile, Yulong Mansion has a two-story architecture that offers the essence of modern Cantonese cuisine, with sophisticated design through the arrangement of many private dining rooms and an open kitchen, allowing visitors to enjoy the high-class performances of the chefs, in addition to experiencing the attractive dishes prepared at the table.
