Colonial Elegance and Style
Perched on the banks of the Perfume River just upstream
from Hue's famous citadel, this 122-room hotel takes its
identity from the former French colonial governor's
mansion at its core.
 The
same nautical moderne architecture that makes the
villa so charming is reprised in the two modern wings,
which were added during a thorough yet sensitive
renovation of the original building so that the place is
pure Indochine.
The original villa includes a reception area decorated
with framed photos of Old Hue and an adjacent bar with
deep club chairs and eight dreamy rooms, plus a
presidential suite. These have a colonial feel, with
ceiling fans, mosquito netting (for atmosphere more than
necessity), and darkstained wood furnishings. An
additional 112 rooms are housed in the new wings, which
frame a large pool overlooking the river.
Hue is the home of Vietnam's finest cuisine and the
chefs at Le Residence use the freshest market
ingredients to create delicious local, regional and
international dishes. Add to that the stunning view
from the restaurant across the Perfume River to the
Imperial Hue Citadel and you have the perfect recipe for
a memorable meal!
An historic landmark, the Saigon Morin Hotel was
completely refurbished in 1998, The hotel is within

Advisor Review
“Amazing service, Great breakfast buffet, nice rooms”
Apr 24, 2008
We stayed at the Orchid for two nights. The first day,
we arrived really early (before 9am I believe). The
front desk said they would get a room ready for us ASAP
and actually apologized for the delay and fed us fruit
and juice. The room was ready shortly (maybe 30 min?)
and after dragging ourselves away from the free internet
in the lobby, we went up to our room, which was nicely
decorated and quite spacious compared to the hotel we
had stayed in Saigon.
 There were lots of nice little
touches, like frosted stained glass bathroom windows and
free tea/coffee in the room. My only complaint with the
room was that the bathroom didn't vent as well as it
could. The free breakfast buffet we had the next day was
amazing; a variety of fresh fruits, a variety of
pastries, eggs, breakfast meats, toast, spring rolls,
fried noodles, fried rice...I'm sure I'm forgetting
something. The front desk staff set up a day tour for us
to the royal tombs and everything went very smoothly.
Later that night when I was watching TV I heard a knock
on the door, and there was a guy with a free plate of
bananas, "for snack". Anyway, suffice to say that we had
a great stay at the Orchid.
