Quang Ninh - A 5-star hotel located on the shore of Ha Long Bay, Ha Long City has officially stopped operating since April 1, 2025, surprising and regrettable to tourists.

The business unit and operator of 5-star hotel The Best Western Premier Sapphire Ha Long has just announced that this hotel will officially stop operating from April 1, 2025 but did not give a reason.

As of this morning (March 28), the hotel still accepts guests to book rooms, but only accepts guests to stay until March 31, 2025.

The Best Western Premier Sapphire Ha Long, located on the shore of Ha Long Bay, in Hong Gai Ward, Ha Long City, is a hotel that provides a full range of services according to the standards of the international hotel group Best Western. 1,005 rooms of the hotel all have their own balconies, with a panoramic coverage of the city and Ha Long Bay, so they are always loved by tourists.

In fact, this is a luxury high-rise apartment block, which has been bought by residents since the building was eligible for sale and then signed a business cooperation agreement with the building's operator.

One of the benefits of apartment owners is that they will be able to stay for free for 15 days in their apartment each year.

According to an apartment owner here, the family signed a contract to exploit the apartment to do business in a hotel for 5 years and at that time it had expired. After that, the family will receive the apartment and do their own business.

Currently, the number of hotels and rooms in Ha Long is very large and it is expected that many more large hotels will appear in the near future, causing the race to lower room prices to continue.

It is estimated that there are currently 23,000 hotel rooms in Ha Long city.

According to calculations, if each room has an average of 2 guests, the hotel system in Ha Long is capable of welcoming more than 40,000 guests per day. Meanwhile, only on peak days does the number of visitors reach the above figure, while on normal days there are only a few thousand visitors.

Many hotels have had to temporarily suspend operations because the more they operate, the more they lose money due to few customers, while if they continue to operate, they still have to maintain their apparatus...
