The Best Hotels Near Azerai La Residence, Hue, by the Record
-
A former Governor's mansion on the banks of the Perfume River, facing the imperial citadel across the water, this Art Deco boutique hotel carries its colonial past lightly: ceiling fans, French doors, the occasional four-poster bed. The pace is deeply unhurried, the multilingual staff is polished, and the saltwater pool and spa make it feel more like a resort than a city hotel. Hue suits that mood perfectly.
-
Each of the eighty-nine villas here comes with its own private pool, which makes the case for never leaving fairly easy to make. This is a luxury resort on a crescent beach midway between Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An, where the interiors draw from the elegant garden houses of Hue and layer in lacquerwork, silk embroideries, and artisanal ceramics. Resident guides handle heritage walks, cycling, and karst exploration for guests who do eventually surface. It holds two Michelin Keys.
