CHIC AND CONTEMPORARY
Occupying an opulent Art Deco mansion – the former residence of the French Governor of Vietnam – the hotel has strived to retain as many of its original features as possible. The result is an incredibly elegant property that exudes historic charm. The grand exterior with its romantic balcony terraces makes way for beautifully retro-fitted interiors adorned with teak flooring and 1930s furniture. Accommodation is chic and contemporary throughout, but it’s well worth reserving a room with a river view.
Whether you’re cycling through colourful markets or visiting ancient sites (or enjoying an enchanting river cruise on Azerai’s private boat), guests are perfectly placed for experiencing the delights of this heritage city. Whenever you need a breather, you can retreat to the hotel’s peaceful gardens or stunning saltwater pool. For a deeper unwind, the spa menu features a range of soothing treatments that draw on ancient Vietnamese healing traditions. For inventive Asian and European fare, head to the hotel’s stylish riverside restaurant ‘Le Parfum’, or the Art Deco-styled ‘Le Gouverneur’ bar for evening cocktails.
