AZERAI — La Residence Hue

AZERAI — La Residence Hue

Hue, Vietnam

Ideally located opposite the Imperial Palace, along the quiet banks of the Perfume River, the hotel boasts outstanding views of both the Ancient Citadel and the Forbidden City. It was built around the renovated 1910 Art Deco 'Residence Superieure de L'Annan'. At that time, it was the administrative center of the French rule in central Vietnam, during the colonial era. The hotel has an Art Deco-inspired design of the 1920s and 1950s.

The rooms have every modern convenience, and some have private balconies. It is definitely worth opting for a room offering a river view, however, these are limited and extremely popular.

The hotel has a full range of amenities, including a riverside restaurant 'Le Parfum', serving creative Asian, Vietnamese and European flavors, an outdoor saltwater swimming pool and an extensive spa offering a complete range of treatments.

OUR OPINION:

One of our favorites within all of Vietnam for its class, decor and high standard of service and facilities. Exuding charm and personality, it offers everything to keep its guests happy, including the most incredible reflexology massages.
