Step back in time. Indulge serenity. A member of the MGallery collection of memorable hotels by Accor, La Résidence Hue Hôtel & Spa is an enchanting boutique hotel on the banks of the fabled Perfume River overlooking the former Imperial Citadel – once home to Emperors and now preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Endowed with opulence, excellence and warmth, this former residence of the French Colonial Governor was painstakingly restored in 2005 and redeveloped as an exceptional design hotel. The hotel’s distinctive bowed façade, long horizontal lines and nautical flourishes are hallmarks of the 1930’s streamline moderne school of art deco architecture.

Restaurants & Bars
Le Parfum Restaurant
Gourmet dining is serious business at La Residence and the main restaurant, Le Parfum, delivers a first class French-Vietnamese fusion experience. In a country that doesn’t normally serve meals by courses, one look at the chef’s selection of Vietnamese tapas, four elements of Le Parfum entree, or sweet eggnest dessert lovingly presented under a bamboo bird cage is enough to reveal an approach that’s on an entirely different level from the current regard for Vietnamese cuisine. For those who want to delve further into Vietnam’s varied culinary traditions, there’s an entire Vietnamese discovery selection showcasing elaborate regional delicacies.
Le Gouverneur Bar
When visiting the former Imperial City of Hue, Vietnam, one expects crumbling citadels, peaceful pagodas and picturesque streets; one does not expect to find a well-preserved sanctum to the glorious art-deco years, stocked with first-rate spirits and Cuban cigars. Oozing with 1920s elegance, Bar Le Gouverneur at La Residence Hotel and Spa greets visitors with refreshing airiness and comfy, red-cushioned armchairs crafted from dark wood in the Vietnamese style. Natural light pours into the crescent-shaped space from floor-to-ceiling windows, opening up enticing views of the resort’s tropical gardens and the Perfume River.
