One of Vietnam’s most exciting home-grown hospitality brands, Fusion Hotel Group, recently announced the opening of Grand Royal Riverside Hue on the southern bank of the Huong River, adjacent to the Truong Tien Bridge — a central address in one of Vietnam’s most historically significant cities. The property is Fusion Hotel Group’s first in Hue, and at 161 rooms, it is a meaningful addition to a destination that has plenty of reasons to visit, yet few internationally recognised hotel options.
The hotel’s concept, which Fusion calls “A Tale of Two Times,” sets out to hold the city’s layered history alongside something more contemporary. Architecturally, the 161-room property draws on Indochine style: natural timber, locally inspired materials, interiors softened with jade tones. It reads less as a theme and more as a considered response to place, which is a distinction worth making in a city where heritage can tip easily into spectacle.
Fusion has built its brand around wellness, and that thread runs through the new property as well. Sả Spa — the name translates as lemongrass — offers four treatment rooms using locally sourced herbs and essential oils, alongside a fitness centre and steam room. Dining is anchored by Jade & Ginger Restaurant, which covers the expected range from pho and bun bo Hue to European options, while The Amber Lounge functions as a lobby bar by day and a cocktail lounge by evening.
Room rates start from USD $130 per night including breakfast for two, with a 25% opening discount on stays booked directly until 31 May 2026. Book your stay now!
