"On the banks of the Perfume River, in the old imperial city of Hue, is a restored classic, an Art Deco–style boutique hotel: La Résidence. This was once the Governor’s mansion, a piece of colonial history, looking straight across the river at the imperial citadel. And today its colonial-chic luxury is open to the paying public — you don’t have to be the Governor to soak in its historical atmosphere." - Tablet Hotels
