Vietnam may not have the plethora of luxury resorts that its neighbour Thailand offers but if you are looking for hotels with a colonial, historical feel and unspoiled beach hideaways this is your country. Pack a battered copy of Graham Greene's,TheQuietAmericanfor holiday reading (preferably a Penguin original) and board the plane.
As quiet and peaceful a place as you could wish for. Combine a stay here with a visit to her sister Six Senses Resort across the bay and you're in sixth, or is that seventh heaven.
Celebrated French architect, Reda Amalou has combined the royal ambiance of Hanoi's palaces and Hue's royal tombs in this resort's expansive layout and exotic gardens.
A great location for exploring Ho Chi Minh City and for escaping back to when the moan of motor bikes and the pace of the city gets too much - and it will.
Giant lily ponds, lush tropical surrounding and traditional stone bungalows with thatched roofs give this resort a rustic, village feel all be it a very luxurious, upmarket kinda village.
Thisluxury five star hotel is the place to stay in Hanoi. Think Catherine Deneuve in Indochine and a Vietnam in the last throes of French Colonialism and you have the feel of this place.
