Situated in the central of Vietnam, besides the famous Huong River, Hue City reflects a particular part of Vietnamese soul. Thus, the hotels here also have some unique traits that you will certainly be impressed.
1. Saigon Morin Hotel
Situated in the centre of the city, just opposite Trang Tien River, this hotel offers you with a beautiful and special view of Hue. The hotel itself was built in 1901, which is the first hotel in Central Vietnam and hence enabled it to witness many historical events of Hue City. Now as it has been restored to the old glory once had, there’s no better place to find yourself covered with the soul of Hue in French colonial time, yet still be given with top-quality service. At that time, you can still feel the contemporary motion of the city by observing daily life of Hue citizens who travel from Southern to Northern Bank of the Huong River everyday.
Recently, Saigon Morin Hotel opened an event named “Gastronomy Relax Corner at the weekend” on Nguyen Dinh Chieu Walking Street, which serves famous delicious Vietnamese food. What else can be more wonderful than having dinner with family and friends beside the picturesque scene of the Huong River?
2. Celadon Hue
Celadon Hue is absolutely the most luxurious hotel in this city, with a wide range of relaxation and recreation, at the quality you can just find in a world-class hotel. Musical shows performed by an international live band are available to be enjoyed in the hotel’s various outlets. You can find a supermarket (actually biggest in Hue) just next to the hotel, which makes it very convenient to buy a snack or some drinks. Travellers on leisure and business will be satisfied with excellent facilities for MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, events), as the hotel itself has been equipped with a modern conference room for up to 1200 people.
3. Huong Giang Hotel Resort and Spa
Rightly located to the charming bank of the river, this hotel provides guests with paranormal view of the Huong and Trang Tien Bridge. Start your day in pure morning light, enjoy the sunset sky reflected by the tranquil water of poetic Huong River in the afternoon. And don’t miss the colorful Trang Tien Bridge at night, when it lightens the whole peaceful city which is going to fall asleep.
Hue cuisines are said to be the finest in Vietnam, with the highlight of traditional specialties and Hue’s Royal Gastronomy. So if you want to try these in traditionally-architectural style of Imperial Palace and the Nguyen Kings’ Royal Feasts with full Ceremony, Huong Giang Hotel Resort and Spa’s chain of 4 restaurants won’t disappoint you at all.
4. La Residence
A tropical garden just right to Huong River turns this art-deco design hotel into an oasis under the hot temperature of Hue summer. Once was the former governor’s residence, it still remains the elegant and colonial architectural style. These combine perfectly with the serene and picturesque scene around the hotel. If you ever come to this place, try a drink on the terrace overlooking the river at night. Just 5 minute walking from Hue Railway Station, those who want to discover charming Hue Citadel on foot can start from here, pass through a lovely tree-lined street, drop by Quoc Hoc or Hai Ba Trung High School where you can see female students in white aodai – a symbol of poetic Hue.
