The scent of Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) fills the air in hotels and resorts.

InterContinental Danang

As spring arrives, guests at InterContinental Danang can experience many exciting activities such as making Banh Chung (traditional Vietnamese rice cakes) in the garden in front of Barefoot restaurant from February 10-13. From February 1-18, guests can enjoy afternoon tea and special dishes at Citron restaurant. If you want to relax and sip Vietnamese-themed cocktails in a spacious setting with panoramic beach views, Long Bar is the ideal place not to be missed. A lively beach barbecue dinner at Barefoot restaurant or a champagne-themed Sunday brunch at Citron… are all opportunities to connect with you and your loved ones.

Throughout the Lunar New Year holiday, visitors will have the opportunity to experience a full range of fine dining, including a vibrant BBQ buffet at Barefoot restaurant in the evening; and a Sunday brunch featuring a selection of premium champagnes at Citron restaurant.

Especially at this time, art-loving visitors can explore the cultural heritage of Da Nang and Hoi An through the lens of Bill Bensley's vibrant collection of contemporary paintings. From the first voyages to Vietnam in the 17th century, trade connections with Europe and Korea in the 18th century, the voyages to southern Chile in the 19th century, and the departure of the French in the 20th century… all these historical milestones are vividly and artistically depicted through Bensley's unique style. Beyond recreating the past, the exhibition also offers a glimpse into the future, featuring an image of a temple in Da Nang designed by artificial intelligence, along with the artist's bold predictions about fashion.

Bensley's art exhibition will open during the Lunar New Year at BENSLEY OutsiderGallery, his gallery on the Sky Floor of InterContinental Danang, from February 11th to April 30th, 2024.
