Fodor's Expert Review Indochine Palace

One of the most luxurious hotels in Hue, this 17-story property blends modern Vietnamese with colonial elegance to avoid the chain-hotel effect. Rooms have mountain or pool views, four-poster beds, thick white duvets, marble floors, and French balconies. Lavish accents include ceramic lamps, chaise lounges, leather trunks, and embossed amenities. The ground floor is almost entirely dedicated to the palm-lined swimming pool. There's a fine-dining restaurant, gym, steam room, sauna, and spa.
