How we got Excutive Lounge access, free daily breakfast, and room upgrades? Watch our full hotel rewrads and status matching breakdown here: How We Accelerated Our Status Across 4 Hot... What is it actually like to live in a luxury hotel in Vietnam for two full months? Instead of booking an apartment or hopping between day-by-day online bookings, we negotiated a direct monthly contract at the Crowne Plaza Danang City Centre for 55 million VND per 30-night block equalling $97 CAD ($70 USD) per night. SALES OFFICE CONTACT: [email protected] Between our long-stay contract and our IHG status perks, our 60-night stay felt remarkably close to an all-inclusive hotel. ⌚ The Daily Routine: Daily breakfast in the executive lounge (or the full restaurant buffet), afternoon tea, and evening cocktail hours with complimentary drinks. 🛎️ Full-Service Comfort: Daily housekeeping with evening turndown service (complete with chocolates!), bottled water refreshed daily, and 5 pieces of complimentary laundry per day. 🏃 Wellness & Points: Full access to the fitness center and outdoor pool, along with standard IHG point accumulation throughout our entire contract. ❤️ The Best Part: Beyond the numbers, the incredible hotel staff made our stay unforgettable—they truly became like family to us. THANK YOU to: Lynd, Stella, Nora, Troy, Jenny, Loki, Ruby, Mia, Yuri, and Chef!
