A Cultural Sanctuary in Historic Hue
Step into history and tranquillity at Ancient Hue Garden Houses, where tradition and beauty converge.
Location: Set peacefully beside the Perfume River, the Ancient Hue Garden Houses enjoy a prime position in one of Vietnam’s most historically significant cities. Just a short distance from Hue’s UNESCO-listed citadel and royal tombs, the location offers a perfect balance between cultural exploration and tranquil retreat.
Rooms: Each of the Ancient Hue Garden Houses is a beautifully preserved piece of history, offering an authentic glimpse into the refined lifestyle of Vietnam’s former nobility. With signature tiled roofs, solid wooden beams and intricate carvings, the architecture reflects generations of craftsmanship. Inside, the rooms are elegant and understated, filled with character and a strong sense of heritage.
Amenities: The garden houses are set among peaceful courtyards and lush greenery, designed in harmony with the traditional nha vuon concept unique to Hue. Landscaped gardens often include lotus ponds, bonsai trees and flowering plants that change with the seasons, creating a calming atmosphere rooted in nature.
Activities: Guests are warmly welcomed by knowledgeable hosts—many of whom are descendants of the original homeowners. Cultural exchanges, from storytelling and traditional music to calligraphy sessions, offer a deeper insight into local customs. Beyond the houses, it's easy to explore Hue’s ancient temples, riverside walks, and the atmospheric ruins of the Imperial Citadel, with short excursions available to nearby royal tombs.
Sustainability: Staying at Ancient Hue supports the conservation of traditional Vietnamese architecture and way of life. The restoration of these historic homes has been carried out using locally sourced materials and techniques, helping preserve the cultural landscape while offering meaningful connections with the community.
