The Van Long Hall

Set within Emeralda Ninh Binh Resort — a sprawling eco-resort bordering the Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve in Gia Viễn District — Van Long Hall is the property's dedicated event and conference space. The hall takes its name from the tranquil wetland reserve it overlooks, and that connection to nature is felt throughout: the setting frames an event against one of northern Vietnam's most unspoiled landscapes, defined by karst limestone peaks, mirrored lagoons, and a quiet that is increasingly rare this close to the country's cultural heartland. Rather than a conventional urban ballroom, Van Long Hall offers the rare combination of purpose-built event infrastructure and a genuinely natural, resort environment — a pairing that gives every gathering a distinctive sense of place.

The hall is designed to accommodate a wide range of gathering formats, from formal plated banquets to theatre-style conferences, cocktail receptions, and workshop layouts. High ceilings and adaptable floor space allow the room to be configured differently for different event scales and styles. Natural light can be managed to suit presentations, while the resort's broader grounds — gardens, lakefront terraces, and open-air pavilions — give event planners access to complementary spaces for pre-function drinks, team-building activities, or breakout sessions, extending the event experience well beyond the four walls of the hall itself.

Events & Occasions

Van Long Hall is well suited to corporate retreats, leadership off-sites, and business conferences that benefit from the focus and calm a resort environment provides. Distance from the distractions of city life, combined with full event facilities, makes the location particularly effective for multi-day programmes where delegates need both productive meeting time and meaningful downtime. The surrounding nature reserve offers a ready-made backdrop for team activities, guided boat excursions through the wetland, and cultural experiences — all of which can be woven into a corporate event agenda.

For social celebrations, the hall and its resort setting offer something markedly different from a city hotel ballroom. Weddings and anniversary gatherings gain an atmosphere shaped by the landscape itself, with the limestone karst scenery providing a dramatic natural canvas that no interior design budget can replicate. The resort's accommodation means that out-of-town guests can stay on-site, turning a one-day event into a genuine retreat for family and friends.

Location & Accessibility

Emeralda Ninh Binh sits within the Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve, approximately 90 kilometres south of Hanoi. The resort is reachable by road from Hanoi in roughly two hours, making it a practical choice for corporate groups and wedding parties travelling from the capital. Ninh Binh province is also accessible by train, with onward road transfer to the resort. The location places event guests in immediate proximity to Van Long — Vietnam's largest freshwater wetland nature reserve — as well as the broader Ninh Binh region, home to Tràng An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For planners seeking a venue that combines professional event facilities with a destination-worthy setting, Van Long Hall at Emeralda Ninh Binh presents a compelling case.
