The 4-star BB Sapa Resort & Spa (Formerly Victoria Sapa Resort & Spa), the only luxury hotel in Northwestern Vietnam, opened in March 1998. Built as a traditional mountain chalet with accented wooden décor and a welcoming stone hearth fireplace, the Victoria Sapa Resort & Spa overhangs the village, blending perfectly with the natural surroundings. The location and luxury services of the hotel have been carefully planned to allow guests to experience something different and unique, in close harmony with nature and with the local hill tribe people or enjoying appetizing dishes such as cheese fondue or raclette as you sip red wine at Ta Van Restaurant. BB Sapa Resort & Spa is located in Sapa, 380 km (236 miles) Northwest of Hanoi, among the Hoang Lien Mountains, in Lao Cai Province, near the Chinese border. 1650 meters (5413 feet) above sea level, famous for its pristine environment, its unparalleled scenery, and its cool climate, Sapa is home to more than 30 colorful hill tribes and close to Vietnam's highest peak, the 3143 meters (10311 feet) Mount Fansipan.
