The Azerai La Residence Hue ranked first among the top 10 hotels and resorts, as well as being honoured in the category of Best Upcountry Hotels in Vietnam.

The newswire outlined that located in the former imperial capital of Hue, the iconic Azerai La Residence has been voted as one of the best hotels in the country, as well as being the top property in the countryside.

Overlooking Hue’s Perfume River, the 122-room property sits in a restored French colonial governor’s mansion and boasts an original façade from the 1930s.

Two complimentary wings were built in 2005 in a more streamlined design, with touches of the Art Deco ethos.

According to the reputable website, the hotel joined the Azerai group in 2019 and features a fitness centre, tropical garden, and 40-metre saltwater swimming pool, which is perfect after spending humid days of citadel- and temple-touring.

The chic resort brasserie Le Parfum serves a mix of Vietnamese and Western dishes, while the Le Gouverneur lobby lounge turns out cocktails, wine, and beer, including several local brews.

Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2024 is aimed at revealing the best hotels, pools, spas, and general managers nationwide.
