For more than eight decades the Palace has played host to heads of state, visiting dignitaries, world famous actors and athletes, and for many years the guests of Dalat's most famous resident Emperor Bao Dai.
Now, 82 years after opening, the Sofitel Dalat Palace has evolved into a destination of pure pleasure; elegance surrounded by a manicured estate and service attending to every need. Grander than ever, the hotel has attained a level of world-class sophistication and is a regal landmark amid the bustling, growing city of Dalat and the many natural wonders of the highland area.
The association of traditional French concern for elegance and style, combined with the finest tradition of Vietnamese hospitality will make your stay memorable. Our professional and friendly staff will unobtrusively attend to your every need.
The Sofitel Dalat Palace has been entirely renovated to the former glory of its attractive colonial style, with special emphasis given to the enhancement and preservation of its unique and charming historical architecture and unique colonial style and decoration.
Each of the Sofitel's fully appointed 43 rooms is beautifully decorated and offers a luxurious atmosphere as well as first class amenities. Most of the rooms have fireplaces, beautifully warming after an evening stroll in Dalat's cool evenings and creating an intimate ambience, perfect for a romantic weekend away.
At the Palace, even the smallest details have been designed with our guests in mind. Over 500 works of art, duplicated from old masters, by Vietnamese artists, provide much of the ambience.
Our fine dinning room, Le Rabelais, specializes in classical French preparations of fresh Dalat produce and imported items in an atmosphere of quiet elegance. Its intimate lounge is perfect for before dinner cocktails, either at the restful bar or in front of the fireplace, listening to music played on the baby grand piano.
Casual meals are available at Cafe de la Poste, highlighting Asian specialities, or Larry's Bar with western items ranging from pizza and sandwiches to hearty steaks. If you are looking for a fun and casual evening, Larry's Bar is the right place to be. The intimate bar is also a perfect place to relax with friends over a glass of wine or a favourite cocktail, while PK's Discotheque at our sister hotel, the Novotel Dalat, is the hottest nightspot in town.
With its world-class facilities, personal service and unique attention to detail, the Sofitel Dalat Palace is an ideal destination for corporate and MICE travel. Function rooms can accommodate up to 200 people for meetings, seminars, conferences or cocktail receptions. In addition to normal hotel and business facilities, private rooms are available for meetings and seminars. Comprehensive banqueting facilities are also available and the Palace is especially suited for celebrations and special occasions of all kinds
As an added incentive for business travellers, Dalat is also home to Vietnam's championship 18-hole golf course. Ranked the number in Golf Course in Vietnam for 2001 by Golf Digest (USA), the Dalat Golf Club is a masterpiece of design, only five minutes from the hotel by free shuttle bus. Patrick J. Reilly, Past President of the PGA of America, called Dalat Palace Golf Club "one of the most beautiful courses in Asia". For even more activity, there are two tennis courts on the grounds. City and countryside tours can be organized including hiking.
