Pullman Hotels & Resorts has opened Pullman Ninh Binh, a perfect escape from Hanoi, that the brand says is a bold and pioneering experience in one of Vietnam’s up and coming destinations.
As Ninh Binh’s first internationally branded hotel, the opening marks a new chapter for the region in Vietnam’s north, bringing expressive spaces designed for exchange, connection, and discovery while offering travellers an ideal base from which to explore Ninh Binh’s natural and cultural landscapes.
Ninh Binh is conveniently located approximately 1.5 hours’ drive from Noi Bai International Airport (HAN). The destination is home to some of Vietnam’s most celebrated natural and cultural landmarks, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Trang An, the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, and Cuc Phuong National Park.
Known for its striking limestone karsts rising above rice paddies, the region continues to emerge as a destination of growing interest for both domestic and international travellers. Standing as the city’s tallest building, Pullman Ninh Binh offers uninterrupted views across this extraordinary landscape.
Inspired by its natural surroundings, the hotel’s design weaves together natural textures, greenery, locally sourced materials and smart energy systems. The lobby reimagines the arrival experience as a vibrant, multi-functional space – intentionally open and fluid – designed to encourage moments of exchange. From here, the space flows naturally into co-creation lounges and flexible work zones, reflecting Pullman’s signature blend of productivity, social energy, and contemporary lifestyle.
Pullman Ninh Binh features 283 contemporary rooms and suites, each with a private balcony overlooking the city or surrounding mountains. Suites include separate living areas and access to the Executive Lounge, while the Presidential Suite offers two balconies, a private kitchen, and a dedicated dining area.
The hotel’s dining and social venues are conceived as energetic gathering spaces, designed to encourage conversation, creativity, and shared social moments.
Unique spaces
- FoodConneXion, located on the lobby floor, offers an all-day dining experience. Featuring a vibrant mix of global cuisine, Ninh Binh specialties, live cooking stations, and artfully curated buffets, the restaurant delivers a dynamic culinary journey from morning through evening.
- The lobby’s social rhythm continues at Lumi Lounge, a relaxed gathering space filled with natural light. From artisanal pastries and Vietnamese-inspired tapas to specialty coffees, Lumi Lounge transitions effortlessly from daytime casual meetings to relaxed evening moments.
- Bublx, Ninh Binh’s highest rooftop Champagne bar, blends contemporary design with subtle nods to local culture. With both indoor and open-air seating, the venue offers sweeping views of Trang An and the city skyline, paired with Champagne and tapas featuring a Vietnamese twist.
- Mad Cow Wine & Grill and Hoa Thuy Tien will be introduced later this year, further enhancing the hotel’s dining offering with a contemporary steakhouse experience and a refined Cantonese restaurant celebrating heritage flavours, craftsmanship, and curated beverage selections.
Designed for gatherings of every scale, Pullman Ninh Binh offers 1,700sqm of flexible function space. Reflecting Pullman’s vision for modern meetings, the spaces combine dynamic design with seamless technology to accommodate large-scale conferences, corporate events, creative workshops, social gatherings, and hybrid meetings. At Pullman, meetings evolve beyond traditional formats – becoming experiences shaped by movement, collaboration, and exchange.
Movement is central to the Pullman experience. Energising fitness offerings at Pullman Ninh Binh include three swimming pools – indoor, outdoor, and rooftop – a 24-hour gym equipped with smart technology, and full-size sports courts. Pullman Spa provides restorative wellness experiences, while dedicated kids’ facilities provide engaging spaces for younger guests.
