5-Star Hotels in Hue

The hotel is not in the city centre, but that's why we choose it ..... for the tranquility and the quite environment. The establishment is impeccable, we pay around HK$8xx, and have to admit this is very good value (even considering not much facilities). The restaurant team are awesome, very attentive, eagar to assist in a warm and welcoming manner. We went for breadfast daily, and from the second day, they remember our breakfast drink! The spa, much room for improvement...... considering the price, really would not expect ”smelly” bath robe (the price is around 2 to 3 times the price one pay at a spa parlour locally). During my stay, the hotel is under a planned renovation construction (we were told) - work is going on even over the weekends, that was very unfortunate. Especially we are looking for a quite hotel! I really think they should state at the booking portal and let people know! The most disappointing part is, the reception team were recommending car service to us (for our return trip to Danang). The original price quote was US$92. We booked. On the departure day, we were asked to pay, the bill was shown in VND (local currency) and I noticed there are service charge and tax applied. So I ask if the US$92 included the service charge and tax. The reception gentleman was slight agitated and say something like ”every body knows service charge and tax are applied to bills in Vietnam”. We were then checking the bill and tried to figure out if the US$92 were inclusive of the service charge and tax. While we were doing that, the reception gentleman told us, yes, the US$92 were already including the the service charge and tax. We were a bit itimidated then, and not wanting to further ruin our holiday mood, so we paid and leave. The car trip was very pleasant and the driver was very polite and attentive. When we are home, we check the bill again, and find out, we paid around US$112 for the trip. (ie, the originally quote price US$92 is not inclusive of service and tax. More so, the reception gentleman that explained the price to us, was either uncompetent or dishonest!

First of all, this hotel is a piece of art. The interior is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are also beautiful, you won’t stop taking pictures of the interior. The bed was super comfortable. Has an ATM across the street. The location was very good for exploring both the citadel and the tomb, however it is slightly far from the walking street and boat. There are some areas of to watch out for. The pool was cold and not suitable for swimming. The gym also closes at around 9 pm, which is quite early. The sauna is quite hidden. The shower curtain was old and had a smell. The bathrobe had some dirty spots. The breakfast was OK, very healthy, but I found a long string of hair in a chicken plate, which as upsetting.

If you're looking for a five-star hotel in Hue that combines a great location, beautiful views, and a resort-like atmosphere, I highly recommend Grand Royal Riverside Hue, Fusion Collection. The hotel is situated on the banks of the Perfume River (Sông Hương), making it incredibly convenient for visiting important historical sites such as the Hue Imperial City (Kinh thành Huế), Dong Ba Market (Chợ Đông Ba), and Thien Mu Pagoda (Chùa Thiên Mụ). Whether you're planning a tour of the World Heritage sites or craving authentic Hue beef noodle soup (Bún bò Huế), everything is easily accessible. Upon entering, the lobby's design is elegant and grand, blending modern aesthetics with cultural elements of the Hue Imperial City. The overall space is spacious and bright, exuding a understated luxury. The guest rooms are comfortable and expansive, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that let in natural light. Some rooms even offer stunning views of the Perfume River, providing a relaxing atmosphere by day and tranquility by night – perfect for slowing down and appreciating the charm of this ancient capital. The hotel's breakfast offers a rich selection, including both international dishes and a variety of Vietnamese specialties. The staff are friendly and attentive, and from check-in to check-out, you can feel Fusion Collection's consistent commitment to excellent guest experience. I particularly enjoyed strolling along the Perfume River in the evening, taking in the sunset and night views, before returning to the comfort of my room. It truly allowed me to experience the leisurely and elegant pace of Hue, this thousand-year-old ancient capital. Reasons to recommend: ⭐ Five-star accommodation quality, with comfortable and modern rooms ⭐ Scenic views of the Perfume River, in a tranquil and beautiful environment ⭐ Close to major attractions like Hue Imperial City and Dong Ba Market ⭐ Abundant breakfast with both Vietnamese and international cuisine ⭐ Friendly and meticulous service, resulting in an excellent stay experience ⭐ An ideal choice for exploring Hue's World Heritage sites If you're traveling to central Vietnam and wish to delve into the history and culture of the Nguyen Dynasty's ancient capital while enjoying a high-quality accommodation, Grand Royal Riverside Hue, Fusion Collection is definitely a recommended five-star hotel and one of the most satisfying stays of my trip to Hue.

Compound located about a ten-minute Grab ride from downtown. A collection of small three-story buildings (no elevator) and villas/rooms scattered through a jungle-like maze of greenery. Visible red brick, tiled roofs. We stayed in a villa/room located at the top of about fifteen steps (thanks to the staff who handle luggage on arrival and departure). The building contained the room and bathroom (single sink, bathtub). Nicely decorated, with slate, statues, and vases in a Cham-inspired style. Unfortunately the wifi router looks like it was added without the decorator's knowledge... A unique touch: the shower is outdoors, in nature (supposedly no one can see in — see photo). We were basically in the middle of the jungle, so don't expect a complete absence of insects and critters (geckos, ants, mosquitoes...), but for mosquitoes the villa had at least four lines of defense (mesh screens on the doors, mosquito coils lit by staff in the evening, a UV/suction trap device, and a bed net). The first three were enough, and we never needed to use the bed net (which has its own charm — a four-poster-style bed). Well-stocked breakfast buffet with Vietnamese specialties. Only downside: eggs Benedict served without sauce or bread... Yoga at 7:45am daily, but unfortunately we couldn't make it (feeling a bit under the weather). The room is inspiring (see photo), located in the compound's spa area. Tested 😀the 1-hour full body massage. Very good and relaxing. Slept here. Done in separate little houses. Choice of oil: cajuput, ylang-ylang, lavender, lemongrass, eucalyptus. The spa’s signature oil is cajuput, locally hand-made from tea-tree-family leaves that cools the body. But the smell is too strong for me. Interesting concept with three pools -- one for kids with a slide, a main one with a bar/snacks, and a third ”quiet” pool, technically reserved for guests over 12 (or at least an area where you're not supposed to talk). This last pool is also reserved for villa guests. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Managers were quick and efficient at resolving issues. Communication via WhatsApp for any problems or arranging cars/excursions. WeChat unfortunately not available.

I had a wonderful stay at Indochine Palace Hotel in Huế. The hotel combines classic elegance with modern comfort, creating a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with excellent beds and thoughtful amenities. The staff were outstanding—friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The breakfast buffet offered a great selection of both Vietnamese and international dishes, all fresh and delicious. The swimming pool, gym, and spa were also excellent and made the stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the layout of the twin room. It is not very convenient for friends sharing a room because the toilet and bathroom are connected by a single door, which offers limited privacy. Overall, Indochine Palace offers excellent value for a five-star hotel. Despite the room layout, I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Huế.

My second stay there and hopefully not my last one. If you are looking for a relaxing spa hotel surrounded by beautiful nature and calmness then Alba is your place. Modern architecture, lots of green, great pool, plenty of relaxing activities like yoga and meditation, the onsen, the massages etc. Staff is extremely nice, professional and helpful. I didn't want to leave but unfinished can't do holidays forever

It is an amazing hotel, the facilities and in an excellent conditions, the rooms are big and well conditioned and overall the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional. I definitely recommend to stay there.

Lovely resort, 2 very clean pools, beachfront, villas are very well presented, 2 TV’s, free WiFi, very good restaurant food items. Location is the only negative as there is nothing close bar a couple of very small lunch/ bar places for locals. Bay restaurants were closed when we were there.

We love this place. We had a beautiful spacious wooden cabin with a balcony overlooking the Pearl River. Phi, the manager looked after us splendidly and could not have done more. We locked ourselves out, he came up in his buggy, we forgot something, he came up in his buggy; he had a cooked sliced steak take-away breakfast with dragon fruit ready at 6.45am and a taxi. Thank you Phi and team! We come back one April to see the tombs and pagodas we missed.
