Legacy Yen Tu Hotel Uong Bi - MGallery Collection

Legacy YenTu was so memorable. The whole building structure was very unique combining old world charms with modern conveniences. On top of that, all of hotel staff were so warm and very professional in providing the best services. Most memorable was their Breakfast Above the Cloud package. Three hotel staff were assigned to accompany me to a combination of Cable Cars trips and climbing steep steps until we found a perfect picnic place high above to have the excellent delicious Legacy YenTu fresh breakfast before doing a singing bowl meditation inside a tiny temple underneath the Buddha Enlightened King's Statue. It was an unforgettable experience for me. Thank you again, Ms. ThiMyThi Nguyen for arranging it and sending Amy, Henry, Tuyen to make that perfect day happened.

Totally dep qua! Stunning and unique historically-styled building nestled in the jungle at the foot of a beautiful Buddhist mountain. The rooms are spectacularly furnished. The food menu isn’t bad, but could perhaps do with a bit of tightening up. The bar is a fantastic place to sit and have a Singapore sling with friends or even catch up on work during the day in front of the amazing backdrop. Dat the barman was incredibly friendly and made the stay extra pleasant. Can’t wait to come back.

Legacy Yên Tử is truly a masterpiece, a destination that feels both sacred and serene. Yên Tử is known as the cradle of Vietnamese Buddhism, a land of profound spiritual energy, and this resort has captured that essence beautifully. Designed by the renowned architect Bill Bensley and developed by Tùng Lâm Group under the management of Accor, Legacy Yên Tử is more than just a luxury hotel – it can be described as a “modern temple,” where every detail resonates with mindfulness, heritage, and healing. From the architecture to the atmosphere, the entire place offers a rare sense of peace and balance. It is a sanctuary for those seeking to recharge, reconnect, and experience the sacred energy of one of Vietnam’s most spiritual lands. An exceptional stay, highly recommended for anyone who wishes to find harmony, healing, and inspiration.

Serene mountain scenery for trekking meets a meaningful sense of history and thoughtful storytelling, all wrapped in a warm, down-to-earth hospitality. The location and stunning design are unrivalled but what really stood out was the human touch from the team.||||My room was comfortable and well laid out, with little thoughtful touches that made daily life easier. The terrace became my favorite spot - a peaceful nook for reflection with the greenery, birds, wind, leaves, and the occasional rain creating a soothing, almost healing atmosphere.||||I enjoyed a range of wellbeing activities that fit nicely with my routine - yoga, a singing bowl session, and quiet moments of walking meditation. The hotel tour was a highlight, too, weaving Yen Tu’s history with King Tran Nhan Tong and the Zen Truc Lam Yen Tu lineage in an engaging way.||||From the moment I arrived until I left, the care and service felt genuinely personal. Special shout-outs to Mr. Silas, Ms. Miley, and the Front Office team for helping me settle in and offering a gesture of goodwill. Breakfast offered a wonderful mix of local and international options, and I found healthy options of delicious local dishes. Ms. Nhi and Ms. Hanh checked in with me at every breakfast over my five-day stay, which made everything feel friendly. Am Tue Tinh Spa impressed me with its facilities and the therapists’ techniques. Ms. Huong helped tie the whole spa experience together, and Ms. Linh was kind and skilled throughout. ||||The General Manager, Mr. Loi, came across as a true ambassador for the place - warm, caring and embodies the notable spirit of Tao and Life.||||Highly recommended for those seeking for a meaningful and rejuvenating stay.

The hotel and architecture itself is absolutely breathtaking - every single corner is instagramable if you're into taking photos. But like a lot of the reviews said, the service could use a bit of improvement to match the 5-star architecture and facility, the staff could be more attentive and accomodating. Also worth noting that the hotel is quite big and not super accessible if you have mobility issues/can't walk for a long time or can't climb stairs - make sure to request a room close to the reception area

Exceptional by Any Standard It’s a tall task to approach writing about the Legacy Yen Tu, for it is hard to believe that something this breathtaking actually exists in real life. This is the kind of property featured in The White Lotus, maybe, or highlighted on an elite travel documentary playing on a 13-hour flight. A property generally can’t really look like that, and must be Photoshop or AI, or perhaps exists only in a fevered dream. But the Legacy Yen Tu is real. And it is as exquisite as it appears. There indeed exists an elite category of hotels that are so fine that assigning them 5 stars is woefully inadequate; at this level, not only are the traditional markers of excellence—rooms, housekeeping, dining—flawless, but the whole property fuses into a seamless, transcendent experience greater than the sum of its parts. The Legacy Yen Tu sits firmly in this ultra-elite category. It is, quite simply, a destination in and of itself. Southeast Asia has no shortage of Bill Bensley properties, yet Yen Tu remains perhaps his most ambitious triumph. It’s no accident that the hotel is showcased on the front page of Bensley’s online portfolio. Vietnam has ambitions to stand alongside the world’s great wellness destinations, and the Legacy makes a compelling case that it may already have surpassed them. The spa and wellness offerings were actually the highlights of my stay: Hang’s sound-bowl session bordered on transcendental, while An (“Amy”) shared Qi Gong and meditation with rare knowledge and joy. I would return to Yen Tu for their classes alone—made all the more unbelievable as they are complimentary for guests. The spa service itself rivals, even exceeds, what one expects at Thailand’s famed spas. Huong gracefully walked me through options, and Nha became my therapist of choice—after my first 90-minute Aromatherapy treatment, I requested her literally every single afternoon of my five-day stay. Pricing is actually modest by international standards, while the quality and ambiance are truly world-class. Food and beverage are similarly of a high international standard; I particularly valued the focus on healthy, vegetarian-forward cooking, with seitan, tofu, and mushroom-based dishes widely available. Accor elites will be invited for a gorgeous platter of afternoon canapés (see photos) and signature plum-wine cocktails. Also, it can be tricky in the region—particularly in rural areas—to maintain professionally trained staff fluent in English, but the level of English spoken throughout the property was high. At no point did I have difficulty communicating with the staff anywhere on the property. Miley, the Front Office Manager, was responsive, professional, and helpful throughout my stay. Finally, I was assisted by Doreen at both arrival and departure; she was gracious, warm, and unfailingly kind—perfectly suited to a career in hospitality. Although I only left a few days ago, I am already dreaming of my return to the Legacy. It is an exceptional property that truly must be experienced to be believed. PS: As part of their nightly turndown service, they leave a small bottle of house-made kombucha in your room—and it is divine! PPS: I didn’t even mention the pool, an experience in itself. The water, drawn directly from a sacred spring at Yen Tu mountain and shared with the spa, adds a feeling of purity, cleansing, and wonder to your stay.

Our stay in Yen Tu Legacy was memorable. It became the highlight of our stay in Vietnam: the resort is splendid, the mountain is amazing and we had so many unique memories! We also had the privilege to attend the celebration of the Yen Tu complex being listed as a UNESCO World Culturage Heritage Site. This event left us amazed and inspired! Most of all, I want to highlight that the staff was incredible. I wish I catched all the names to properly thank them in this review. Whether it was at reception with Vi, at the spa with Huong or at the restaurant (especially a lady who did the service of breakfast and dinner throughout our stay, and also the duty manager), the hospitality was top notch. I recommend anyone to discover this magical hotel, no doubt you will be amazed! Thank you again for everything to all the staff, I hope I can come back soon. Thank you.

Stayed here in March 2025. Almost didn't review but I had to mention the experience here was so calming and relaxing and such a great place to stay. I had an incredible time here. The spa here is top notch. Cannot miss. Lunches and dinners were quite satisfying and the staff is friendly and attentive but reserved. They make sure your needs are met but give you space to soak in the surroundings. And what a surrounding! The rooms are decorated like ancient times. I love the doors and windows of my hotel room. And each room has a balcony with majestic views. The whole complex is huge and brings you back in time. You can go horseback riding or try bows and arrows or feed the goldfish. I'm not very religious but this place makes you feel a little closer to god (or gods). It's such a spiritual feeling. Very unique place.
