HA NOI (Biz Hub) – Business Traveller magazine has granted the award "Best Resort Hotel in Asia-Pacific" to InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort, owned by Vietnamese Sun Group Corporation.

The award was presented at the Conrad Hotel, Hong Kong, on September 23, 2016.

InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort defeated dozens of luxury resorts in the Asia-Pacific region, such as the Alila Seminyak Bali in Indonesia and the Four Seasons Samui in Koh Samui Island, Thailand, to win the award.

The Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards are the most prestigious in the travel industry for the past 25 years. The award is given by the 40-year-old widely-read travel magazine Business Traveller.

Top experts, travel agencies and patrons voted objectively for the award. Voting results were collected, analyzed equitably and announced by a world class market research company.

With this win, InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort is now the Vietnamese resort with the most international and esteemed awards. It is also the only resort in the world to have been given the award of "World leading luxury resort" by World Travel Awards for two consecutive years -- 2014 and 2015. 

It recently surpassed thousands of famous coastal hotels and resorts in the world, ranging from those on the Australian coast to the Caribbean islands, to find itself among the world's top 21 most luxurious beach resorts, according to CNN.

The resort includes 200 rooms and suites on with an exclusive view of the beach and the gulf, with handmade furniture and interiors from various regions. Many celebrities, politicians and other global high-profile individuals have stayed at the resort over the last several years. — VNS
