Our amazing Sapa experience would not have been the same if we had stayed anywhere else. The Aliana Boutique Sapa Hotel started with a warm welcome and an upgrade to a fantastic suite (Thanks to Aliana and Hotels.com for perk) with a spacious balcony overlooking rice terraces, the funicular, Cat Cat Village and whether permitting, Fanispan Mountain.
The suite had a lot of space and was serviced well. The breakfast buffets in Vietnam seem hard to beat, and at the Aliana Boutique, they offer "cook to order" dishes included with the buffet.
My partner perfected the banana pancake that came with chocolate sauce, by topping it with a fresh banana and other sauces. I have to say that not only was it the best pancake in Vietnam, but possibly, the world.
Staff were a well-groomed team, and they reflect well on their management. They worked together to make the experience at Aliana Boutique Sapa Hotel a perfect place for a visit into the Vietnamese hills.
