Built in 1901 and playing host to dozens of celebrities and socialites over the years, it is very much a part of Hue's character.  Now restored back to its century-old glory, Hotel Saigon Morin combines the old world charm of yesteryear with the expectations one would have of a top hotel.

The 183 room hotel is located across the Perfume River from the famed Citadel and boasts commanding views of the town and river. The landmark property has a chic colonial façade echoing the French-colonial era of a century ago, which lured guests such as Charlie Chaplin and Sir Roger Moore as well as dozens of royalty. Inside, the grandiose lobby is lined with images from this bygone era and the halls echo of the days of yore.

Over the years, painstaking restoration has retained this history feel yet incorporated modern touches to each and every guest room. The airy interiors of the rooms blend contemporary decoration and design with touches of colonial charm. The wooden floors and furniture form a perfect balance with the cream-colored walls while the in-room amenities cap off what is sure to be a comfortable and memorable stay.
