Why Vietnam’s “City of a Thousand Flowers” is the new must-visit highland escape for 2026
Da Lat has long been Vietnam’s best-kept secret. Now, it is stepping into the spotlight.
BWH Hotels has opened the Imperial Dalat Hotel, BW Premier Collection, an elegant new property in the heart of the Central Highlands. The hotel blends modern comfort with authentic Indochine charm. It offers 402 rooms and suites, each with views of the city or surrounding hills. This is no ordinary opening. It signals a shift in Vietnam’s luxury travel scene.
Where to stay in Da Lat: luxury meets local character
The Imperial Dalat sits minutes from Da Lat Market, Xuan Huong Lake, and Con Ga Church. Guests can explore the city on foot. The location is hard to beat.

Rooms feature local design accents and state-of-the-art amenities. Family-friendly connecting suites are available. The year-round heated pool, fitness centre, and spa cater to every mood. Younger guests have their own kids’ club.
Dining and events: what to expect
Food options span an all-day restaurant, a Japanese venue, a lobby lounge, beer garden, and cigar lounge. There is something for every palate.
For events, the grand ballroom holds up to 1,200 guests. Two smaller meeting rooms suit corporate gatherings. Weddings here will be unforgettable.
Why Da Lat is trending for 2026
The hotel sits beside the Best Western Premier Imperial Dalat. Together, they strengthen BWH Hotels’ presence in the region.
Olivier Berrivin, Vice President of BWH Hotels APAC, calls Vietnam “one of the world’s most dynamic tourism markets.” He notes that international travellers and affluent domestic guests are flocking to Da Lat. The city’s cool air, rolling hills, and flower gardens make it a natural draw.

This is the second BW Premier Collection property in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. BWH Hotels now operates seven properties across the country, including Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc, and Nha Trang.
