Situated near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay, the resort brings together private onsen experiences in every room, mineral rich hot springs and modern Japanese dining for a wellness‑led stay

Hilton announced the opening of Hilton Quang Hanh Onsen Resort, a retreat in the Quang Hanh valley in Cam Pha, Quang Ninh. Rooted in the destination’s natural hot mineral springs, the resort invites guests to experience its onsen-inspired immersions, paired with the warm, exceptional hospitality Hilton is known for. The opening marks Hilton Hotels & Resorts’ third property in Vietnam, reinforcing the flagship brand’s growing presence in the country.

Located in Quang Hanh, an area known for its rare natural hot mineral springs and mountain landscapes, the resort is a 30-minute drive from Ha Long and two and a half hours’ drive from Hanoi. It is also close to notable tourist attractions, including Long Tien Pagoda, Bao Hai Linh Thong Pagoda — one of Ha Long City’s largest pagodas — and Sung Sot Cave.

Hilton Quang Hanh Onsen Resort offers 178 villas and 38 rooms, each featuring a private onsen and access to hot and cold saunas. Guests can choose from rooms and suites for couples and families, as well as two- to four-bedroom villas ranging from 110 to 550 square meters, with generous living and dining areas. The resort’s premium offerings include two 1,250 square-meter Presidential Villas featuring five bedrooms, a karaoke room, private teppanyaki facilities and wine cellar. Currently, 50 villas and all rooms are available for booking, while the remaining villas are set to open towards the end of the year.

The resort’s wellness offerings include seamless access to Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh, where guests can enjoy a public onsen featuring 27 onsen baths and 18 baths across male, female and mixed bathing areas, alongside sauna and spa facilities. Beyond onsen facilities, guests can also re-invigorate at the resort’s Eforea Spa, swim in the indoor pool that overlooks lush mountains and verdant landscapes or enjoy the 24-hour fitness center and Kids’ Club.

For gatherings, the resort offers flexible social and meeting spaces, including six private dining rooms and two meeting rooms ranging from 27 to 81 square meters, suited for hosting energizing corporate functions and iconic celebrations.

Dining at the resort is a vibrant celebration of both global and local flavours, offering guests an elevated culinary journey through three thoughtfully crafted experiences. Genji, the resort’s modern Japanese restaurant, features a sushi counter, teppanyaki counter and a thoughtfully curated kaiseki menu, with a total capacity of 210 seats. Genji Bar offers panoramic views alongside afternoon tea, handcrafted cocktails and light bites. The hotel’s all‑day dining venue, Kitchen Craft, home to Western, Asian and Dessert kitchens, is undergoing renovations and is slated to reopen at the end of the year.

Vietnam currently holds Hilton’s third-largest portfolio in South East Asia with 21 trading hotels. The hospitality company is set to double its portfolio in Vietnam, reinforcing its position as a key market in Hilton’s growth trajectory. The resort’s opening also grows Hilton’s footprint in northern Vietnam, complementing the recently opened Tru by Hilton Ha Long Hon Gai Centre in Quang Ninh Province.
