Vietnam Michelin Key Circuit 12 Days is a private north-to-south journey where every night is spent at a hotel recognised in the MICHELIN Keys selection: Capella Hanoi, Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat in Ninh Binh, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai near Hoi An, Amanoi in Nui Chua National Park, and Park Hyatt Saigon.
Paced for slow travel. One unhurried outing a day, usually in the cooler morning, then back at the hotel by early afternoon for the pool, spa or afternoon tea. Private car and guide throughout, and three nights in most places so guests are not packing every morning.
Best for: couples and small private groups from the US, the UK and Australia who want two weeks or less and judge a trip by its hotels. Each hotel's Key status is shown with its year below the itinerary.
Meet and greet at Noi Bai International Airport and private transfer to Capella Hanoi, a 47-room hotel in the French Quarter designed by Bill Bensley around Hanoi's opera heritage. Time to rest after the flight.
