InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort hosts incentive programs, conferences, board meetings, gala dinners, themed evenings and weddings, with more than 2,100 m² of indoor and outdoor event space. The whole resort can be booked for exclusive use. It was designed by Bill Bensley and sits on a private bay of the Son Tra peninsula, north-east of central Da Nang, Vietnam.
Seminars and company events
The resort was built with incentive groups in mind and has its own events team. Most meeting venues are in the Summit, a conference center at the top of the hillside site. The Summit Auditorium seats 100, with a stage, projector, full audiovisual and remote presentation. The four Summit Suites are sunlit boardrooms with outdoor terraces, suited to breakouts or board sessions. For evenings, the M Club has a stage, bar, lounges and a terrace, and connects to an 85-seat cinema; the M Rouge lounge has six private karaoke rooms. Menus can follow the theme of the event, from fine dining to a barbecue on the beach.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies are held in the Palm Garden, on Coconut Beach or Sunset Beach, or on the terrace of La Maison 1888. Receptions take place in the Great Hall, the skylit Reception Hall or the M Club. The resort offers several wedding packages, including a format for a couple alone, and four decor themes inspired by the setting. A director of events handles wedding planning.
Rooms and capacities
The Great Hall is the main ballroom, square in shape so that no table sits far from the stage, with a foyer that has floor-to-ceiling windows. The Reception Hall is a light room for daytime or evening events. The VIP Lounge works as a living room for networking or cocktails. The Summit Auditorium seats 100 and the M Club cinema 85. Beaches, gardens, terraces and lawns serve for outdoor events. The resort publishes a meetings brochure and a Summit floor plan; capacities for the larger rooms are given on request.
Accommodation
Guests stay in rooms, suites and villas spread down the hillside, including Club rooms, Spa Lagoon Villas and villas with private pools. The Mi Sol spa is on site.
Catering
Catering is in house. La Maison 1888 holds one Michelin star for French cooking with Vietnamese touches. Tingara serves Japanese omakase and teppanyaki, and Citron cooks dishes from the north, center and south of Vietnam. Barefoot, the Long Bar, the Buffalo Bar and a private dining service complete the offer.
History and setting
The resort opened in 2012. It is owned by Bai Bac Resort and run by IHG Hotels & Resorts. Bensley laid out the buildings on terraces between the forested hills of the Son Tra nature reserve and the sea, linked by a funicular.
Getting there
Da Nang International Airport is the gateway, a drive of about half an hour across the city and up the peninsula.
