About Ancient Hue Garden Houses

Living homages to Hue's art, architecture and history, the Garden Houses were once the homes of nobility. Having been lovingly restored, each house is inspired by a specific marker of life in Hue during the Nguyen dynasty. You might see the royal, floral motifs in one and the grand fashions in the next, while another is a museum to Hue's musical traditions or its most famous poets. As you can tell, this is no 'cookie cutter' hotel and nestled next to the sweet-smelling Perfume River, it feels timeless. The Garden Houses aren't far from Hue's Imperial Citadel, so a deep-dive into its history is a must.

What you'll love

The tangible, old-world feel at the Garden Houses... without losing one bit of comfort.

Insiders tip

For an added comfort, rooms in Bach Ma House have a Jacuzzi.

Something to think about

There aren't many dining options on the property so you'll have to venture into town for something new if you're staying for a few nights.

The property

Deep, molasses-coloured wood fills the Garden Houses, the largest of which houses the restaurant. Decorated with lacqured furnishings, antique panels and soft lanterns, it serves modern reinventions of the Emperor's iconic banquets. Enjoy a mixture of Asian and European dishes alongside the international wine list. The pool has pride of place in the gardens and the calming spa provides the therapy of your choice. As the sunset turns the river a shade of gold, sip on a cocktail from the Lounge Bar.

The rooms

In total, the ancient wooden houses have eight rooms, all of which are authentic mimics of bygone Hue. Each room has a King-sized bed draped in silk, striking decor that illustrate the theme (from royal dress to paintings of characters from Hue's greatest poetry), and a large bathroom - some even with a Jacuzzi. The rooms were all influenced by Feng Shui, evoking a pleasing sense of harmony. A number of rooms have a kitchen and dining area for added privacy and each has a terrace.

Activities

There is much to discover in Hue, from the auspicious tombs of Emperors to the soaring pagodas. Get to know the city's artistic side with a bamboo paper craft workshop, see the art of silk embroidery at the XQ Historical Village, and peruse the Museum of Royal Antiquities. Let your curiosity lead you on a bicycle ride past lakes of lotus blossoms and aged temples to Tay Ho Village where you'll learn to make the famous conical hats.
