Stepping onto the historic grounds of Azerai La Residence, Hue feels like turning back the clock to an era of unhurried colonial elegance. Originally constructed during the 1930s as part of the French Resident Superieure’s private estate, this architectural treasure stands as a striking icon of Streamline Moderne Art Deco design. Here, the spectacle of dawn and the lingering glow of dusk unfold in breathtaking beauty—sunrises ignite the horizon with radiant warmth, while sunsets leave behind a luminous afterglow that lingers like a painter’s final brushstroke across the sky.
Soaring ceilings, polished tropical dark woods, sweeping nautical curves, and a soft, warm palette of classic tones weave a sense of timeless sophistication throughout the property’s interiors. Set along a two-and-a-half hectare riverfront estate directly bordering the fabled Perfume River, the hotel offers direct access to tranquil, shade-dappled waterside promenades—ideal for romantic evening walks while taking in views of the Citadel.
Accommodation
The Double Deluxe Room provides a refined sanctuary of quiet comfort, thoughtfully appointed with art deco furnishings and rich hardwood floors accented by classic terrazzo tiling. Big glass doors open wide onto a private balcony, offering a front-row seat to watch the golden morning light break across the horizon at sunrise. Inside, a cozy corner desk setup doubles effortlessly as a functional workspace or a peaceful nook to pause, read, and admire the lush garden and river landscapes stretching beyond the glass.
Dining
Culinary moments at Le Parfum blend morning indulgence with evening romance. Each day starts with an opulent riverfront breakfast spread featuring free-flowing sparkling wine alongside live cooking stations that prepare steaming bowls of authentic Phở and spicy Bún Bò Huế on demand. In the afternoon, guests can gather at the lobby and bar area to enjoy complimentary, unhurried refreshments featuring aromatic local coffee, teas, and sweet treats—a thoughtful touch for regrouping after exploring the imperial city.
As dusk falls over the river, guests can indulge in a romantic dinner set up under flickering lantern light. The kitchen presents an exquisite multi-course Vietnamese Fusion Menu, beginning with a colorful starter platter of traditional Hue specialties—including Bánh Bèo, Bánh Nậm, Bánh Lọc, and Bánh Ram Ít—paired with a crisp Green Papaya Salad with Dried Beef (Gỏi Đu Đủ Xanh Khô Bò). The heart-warming main course of Hue-Style Caramelized Pork & Prawns served piping hot in a traditional clay pot (Thịt Heo & Tôm Kho Tộ Kiểu Huế), accompanied by sautéed broccoli and steamed rice is amazing. The intimate experience concludes on a sweet note with Roasted Pineapple & Coconut Ice Cream garnished with a chocolate crumble and vibrant strawberry coulis (Dứa Nướng & Kem Dừa Với Vụn Bánh Sô Cô La & Xốt Dâu Tây).
Wellness/Facilities
Total restoration is woven into the leisure experience, anchored by an expansive saltwater outdoor pool and a peaceful herbal steam room nestled inside the award-winning Le Spa. A highlighted wellness therapy is the Vietnamese Traditional Treatment, which utilizes locally sourced cajeput oil known for its natural therapeutic properties. The oil’s gentle warming action enhances blood circulation, releases stubborn muscle tension, and provides targeted pain relief—making it an essential treatment for active explorers returning from city excursions or anyone seeking deep, soothing relaxation.
