Where Hospitality Meets Gastronomy

At the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, the Hotel & Hospitality Dining category honours destinations where cuisine and travel intertwine. From Saigon’s skyline rooftops to seaside tables on pristine shores, these restaurants and bars transform every stay into a memory — where each flavour tells a story of place, culture and artistry.

Hospitality is not only defined by the welcome of a hotel or the view from a resort — it lives in the moments created at the table. The Hotel, Resort & Hospitality Dining category at the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025 shines a light on the restaurants and bars that elevate accommodation into experience, and journeys into lasting memories.

From glittering rooftop bars in the heart of Saigon to candlelit seaside terraces where the ocean sings its accompaniment, these establishments blur the line between gastronomy and travel. Each dish, each pour, becomes inseparable from its setting — a reflection of both culinary artistry and the spirit of place.

This year, the Awards recognise excellence across four distinct subcategories: Best Hotel Restaurant, Best Resort Dining, Best Cruise Dining, and Best Hotel/Resort Bar. Together, they chart the breadth of Vietnam’s hospitality landscape, where international techniques meet local terroir and global travellers meet unforgettable flavours.

Already, a stellar line-up of nominees has emerged: Le17 Bistro at Sofitel Saigon Plaza, Nami Restaurant at Da Nang Mikazuki, The Verandah at The Westin Resort & Spa Cam Ranh, Social Club Rooftop Bar at Hôtel des Arts Saigon, and Bar Jade at Regent Phu Quoc. Each brings its own expression of hospitality, from refined French dining and Nikkei innovation to bold cocktails and immersive seaside feasts.

As the stage is set for the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, this category celebrates not just dining, but the art of memory-making. For here, hospitality is more than service; it is the craft of weaving together taste, time and place into moments that linger long after the journey ends.
