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.
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.
The tangible, old-world feel at the Garden Houses... without losing one bit of comfort.
For an added comfort, rooms in Bach Ma House have a Jacuzzi.
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.
