Silk Path Grand Sapa is a large resort on the slope above the centre of Sa Pa, built in the style of a French chateau. It is a five-class luxury property with 152 rooms, an indoor pool and a children's pool, a spa with Ayurvedic treatments and hydrotherapy, a sauna, a steam room and a 24-hour gym. Dining includes two on-site restaurants, Olivio and Samu, a poolside bar and a cafe. Sa Pa Square is about an eight-minute walk, so you have the facilities of a resort and a manageable walk into town. Guests rate it very highly, with an exceptional guest score, and it suits couples and families who want comfort, quiet and wellness facilities more than a seat on the square.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits on Doi Quan 6 in the upper part of town, about eight minutes on foot from Sa Pa Square, ten from the church and around eleven from Sapa Station for the Fansipan train. The walk down is easy and the walk back is uphill, so taxis are handy after dinner. Parking, including valet parking, is free, which helps if you are travelling by car.
The rooms and facilities
With 152 rooms the resort feels more private than the large central hotels. The indoor pool is a highlight on cool days, and the children's pool makes it a useful base for families. The spa is a full-service facility with treatments built around hydrotherapy and traditional techniques, and the sauna, steam room and gym are open for guests. Note that the spa has age limits, so check before you book if you have young children.
What to know
Breakfast is a daily buffet, charged as an extra on some rates, so check your booking. Check-in starts at 2 PM and check-out is at noon, and after-hours check-in is not available, so tell the hotel if you will arrive late. A damage deposit is collected at check-in, and credit cards are accepted while cash is not. The airport shuttle is available at a high surcharge per vehicle, so consider a normal transfer from Hanoi instead. Free cancellation is offered on selected rates, which is useful in unsettled autumn weather.
