EnquireLa Residence is an elegant, colonial-style property located in the former royal capital city of Hue, in central Vietnam. This exclusive hotel offers 122 stylish rooms and suites, plus a wonderful saltwater swimming pool, a spa, a gym, tennis and basketball courts, an art gallery, and a boutique, all within beautiful landscaped gardens on the banks of the Perfume River overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hue’s Imperial Citadel. La Residence will appeal to travellers with a higher budget seeking a deluxe stay and select service in a prime central location.
Recently listed in Conde Nast’s Top 20 best hotels in Southern Asia, this landmark property was constructed in 1930 as a residence for the former Governor of Vietnam, and art deco architecture and fittings and colonial design influences resonate throughout. The hotel restaurant, Le Parfum, offers both indoor and alfresco dining, with a gourmet menu spanning French and Vietnamese cuisine. In-room private dining can also be arranged. Le Gouverneur bar offers light meals and refreshments, and its alfresco terrace is a great spot for a sundowner or a nightcap. Further communal areas include a library, a chic boutique, an art gallery, and a fully equipped gym. Beauty treatments and massages are available at the hotel spa, which features a Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Outside, the verdant gardens house a glorious saltwater pool, with light meals and refreshments available throughout the day at the adjacent pool bar. Additional facilities include tennis and basketball courts, table tennis, billiards, boules, and complimentary bicycle hire.
Accommodation comprises 122 guest rooms and suites, all tastefully appointed with art deco style fittings. Each room has a double or twin beds and a spacious ensuite bathroom, along with satellite TV, hot drink facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi, and 24 hour room service. Many of the rooms boast a private balcony or terrace, with either city or river views. Room sizes range from Superior to the slightly more spacious Deluxe rooms, which include a comfortable lounge area. Seven suites are also available with significantly increased living space including study and lounge areas, and a generous balcony or terrace. Largest of all, the penthouse Resident Suite boasts an extensive veranda with panoramic views and comes with a separate lounge and bedroom, and a generous bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and separate shower.
Children are extremely welcome at La Residence. Guests under 12 years of age stay free of charge when sharing a bed with parents, with complimentary cots provided upon request. Extra beds are available, subject to additional charge. The hotel offers a number of connecting rooms, which are ideal for families and larger groups. A Kids Club is available for younger guests, and a babysitting service can be arranged.
We had such a good holiday. You did a fantastic job!
The house in Marrakesh was ridiculous. We effectively had it to ourselves. The accommodation was borderline palatial.
I actually think that the time we had in Marrakesh was sufficient. We could potentially have done a day by a pool but I think we’d done enough souk-ing by the end of Day Two.
The hotel in the mountains was a shade more rustic than I was expecting, but all great fun. Stunning views. The guide / mule / cook team were excellent and our guide (Hassan) tailored the treks to our capabilities well. He was superb, and really made an effort with the kids. The second and third day of trekking were particularly good. Such an adventure for the kids.
All the logistics worked seamlessly. Every aspect went like clockwork. Top marks. The advice on tipping was also much appreciated (I hate thinking that I’m getting mugged off or am potentially not giving enough…).
From my seven-year-old son:
I thought it was GREAT. The food was amazing and the culture was very interesting. My favourite bit was scrambling up rocks in the Atlas Mountains.
In retrospect, I’d probably do the trip in reverse. Flopping on the roof terrace after the rigours of the mountains would have been even more satisfying.

We just wanted to thank you for an absolutely amazing holiday. Everything went exactly to plan and we were blown away with the quality of the guides, transport and accommodation. The itinerary was perfect for our family with a great mix of guided and free days and the different destinations complemented each other well. We will definitely be using Tourdust again for our next trip! Particular highlights were the Ha Long Bay cruise, Hanoi, and the morning cycle tour in Siam Reap
