The hotel’s elegant interior has been influenced by the iconic opera house nearby. Each of the 107 rooms has a vibrant and bold colour scheme, wooden floors and feature walls set off by delicate traditional silk drapes. Promising comfort, each of the sumptuous rooms have spacious en suites and modern amenities with views overlooking the city or the courtyard.

This is a perfect base to explore the enchanting attractions and tranquil lakes found right on the hotel’s doorstep.

Hanoi is a bustling and fascinating place – a whirlwind of colours, smells and sounds and a wonderful place to get a real flavour of life in Vietnam.
It is unmissable in terms of its pretty pagodas, ancient temples, enchanting French colonial quarter and cultural institutions. Just as fun, however, is darting down its winding lanes and discovering your own favourite hidden corners. The hustle and bustle of Hanoi is contagious and it is also one of the best place to sample the mouthwatering array of streetfood that Vietnam is famous for.

With ochre-coloured colonial buildings, tree-lined boulevards and scenic lakes, Hanoi is full of charm. Start the tour at the historic Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, an imposing monument lavishly built using marble and granite, where the preserved body of ‘Uncle Ho’ resides. Behind the Mausoleum, you can see Ho Chi Minh’s house where his belongings are on display - you can walk up the steps to see his bedroom. You’ll also visit One Pillar Pagoda which is regarded as one of Vietnam’s most iconic temples.
You’ll then enjoy an hour-long cyclo tour through the old quarter, one of Vietnam’s liveliest areas. It is known for its ‘tunnel’ or ‘tube’ houses which were built to reduce the fees paid when fares were set according to the width of the house. Weaving your way through the maze of back streets, you’ll get a glimpse into everyday life and an insight into the country’s long history.

A maze of streets dating back to the 13th Century, Hanoi’s Old Quarter is all hustle and bustle. Look out for the Communal Houses, Tube Houses and old colonial houses along the crooked streets before seeking respite from the chaos at Hoan Kiem Lake. Jacada Travel can arrange a guide to show you to the best of the area.

Your private guide, on request, can escort you to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum – a large memorial to the Vietnamese leader. Contrary to his wishes of a modest burial, his embalmed body is centrepiece of the museum. His simple stilt house is close by giving visitors the opportunity to see how he lived.

A striking and rare example of well-preserved Vietnamese architecture which forms an important part of Hanoi’s history, the Temple of Literature is made up of five temples and peaceful courtyards within one complex and parts date back to the 11th Century.

This vessel is small, yet exquisite. Built to resemble a traditional Asian junk ship, it is named after the delicate Violet Chirita flower and offers a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Lan Ha Bay.
Due to the modest size of the Violet, there are only two types of room available. Deluxe rooms feature 20sqm of floor space, which extends out onto a 5sqm balcony, and an Italian marble bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi. The four larger suites feature 1930s inspired Indochina décor and plush king-sized beds with a massive 38sqm of space on the upper deck.
Enjoy creative Vietnamese fusion cuisine in the boat’s dining room, serving seafood fresh from the Mekong and take drinks up on the sun deck in the evening. It’s here on the top level of the Violet that you can also take part in Tai Chi sessions each morning.

Refined Asian furnishings and modern luxury come together on the Ginger junk to create an elegantly relaxed experience in Lan Ha, an area which is quieter than Halong Bay.
Three decks of polished woodwork, Indochine decor and panoramic views of the UNESCO-protected bay fill this cruiser. Despite its large size, the Ginger is home to just ten cabins, ensuring there is still an intimate atmosphere awaiting you on board.
Take in those gorgeous emerald views during a morning Tai Chi lesson, whilst dining at the restaurant or from the comfortable sundeck. Then, explore the fabulous limestone scenery close-up with unforgettable kayaking, snorkelling and caving tours.
- Ylang spa
- Yoga room
- En-suite bedrooms with private balcony
- On board restaurant
- On board bar
Ylang is the exquisite newest member of Heritage Line’s ship collection, that sails through Lan Ha Bay. Its sleek and luxurious design set to the backdrop of this jaw dropping scenery is a picture to behold.
Once in its expansive and stylish interior, you’ll find ten magnificent suites. Natural light floods the interior of this ship and your private suite is no exception, thanks to panoramic doors pulling you into the phenomenal scenery that floats by. Be sure to further explore the natural wonders around you on your private balcony, which are a welcome feature of each suite.
On board you’ll experience delicious Vietnamese cuisine at the restaurant and bar, where you’ll be surrounded by 180-degree windows, offering perfect views of the bay.
Throughout the ship you’ll notice a splendid blend of Asian-Vietnamese design and local artisans decorate Ylang’s interior with hand-crafted paintings.
During the day, make the most of the invigorating activities on offer from kayaking to cycling and hiking through Cat Ba Island National Park. There is also a strong focus on wellness with activities on board ranging from yoga to early morning Tai Chi lessons on the upper deck.
After an active day on the water, relax in the Ylang spa, where you can indulge in a variety of treatments or make use of the sauna. For some downtime later in the evening head to the library salon or marvel at the stars from on top of the terrace deck.

Limestone outcrops blanketed in lush vegetation rise up from the still, jade-coloured water. Your boat glides smoothly across the glassy surface, the shapes and shadows of the islets changing as you navigate this watery paradise. This is Lan Ha Bay, the smaller, quieter and altogether more serene neighbour of Halong Bay.
Although belonging to a different province, Lan Ha is essentially an extension of Halong Bay and offers the same mesmerising scenery. Lying south-east of Cat Ba Island, fewer boats make their way to Lan Ha meaning you'll get to enjoy this idyllic setting without the busy crowds.
As you weave your way through the islands, you'll come across secluded bays, white sandy beaches and floating villages. There are caves to explore, islands to cycle on, and the pristine waters are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking.
Your luxury junk boat will be your home away from home as you explore Lan Ha Bay, and there are few experiences as magical as watching the sunrise from the comfort of your cabin, then watching it sink behind the sparkling water as the day draws to a close.

It seems only fitting to see the ‘Imperial City’ from the regal splendor of Azerai La Residence Hue; once the French Colonial Governor’s residence, this 122-room boutique hotel has been immaculately restored to its former glory.
Sitting on the banks of the city’s central landmark, the Perfume River, the imperial architecture of the 1930s nods to the history’s past, and many of the rooms have views across to the UNESCO-protected former Imperial Citadel, once home to Vietnam’s most powerful Emperors.

- Restaurant
- Outdoor pool
- Spa

Little under a kilometre from the Imperial City of Hue, along the banks of the Perfume River, Ancient Hue Garden Houses is located in the historic village of Kim Long. This well-preserved village is a former residential area of the high mandarins and members of the royal family. Nestled among the green trees, the Ancient Hue Garden Houses are a unique relic of the Mandarin lifestyle that can only be found in Hue.
There are five luxuriously appointed private houses – with either one or two bedrooms – bordering the landscaped garden around the pool. The decor features wood carvings, feudal architecture and traditional folk colours, designed to blend harmoniously with the surroundings. Built according to feng shui principles, each elegant room contains historic artefacts, paintings and private terraces looking out onto the lush garden.
For those wishing to dine in style, the in-house restaurant, Kim Long, offers a unique fine dining experience. Taste local Vietnamese delicacies with both Asian and European flavours, designed to emulate a modern-day version of the royal feasts enjoyed by Vietnamese nobles. The in-house spa also offers the ultimate pampering experience while the outdoor pool is the perfect place to wind down.

Enjoy your days in the imperial city of Hue either exploring it on your own account, or choose from a number of our private tours with expert local guides to show you around the things that interest you. Once the capital of Vietnam, there is plenty historical relics and landmarks to discover, not to mention a picturesque position on the Perfume River which is good for walking or bicycling excursions. Talk to your personal travel designer about how you wish to spend your time here.


Hue served as an imperial capital to the Nguyen Lords, a feudal dynasty which reigned from the 17th to the 19th century. With splendid emperors’ tombs, ancient pagodas and the remains of the citadel, the city retains its royal charm. Visit the Imperial Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to see its magnificent architecture and gardens as your guide explains the events and the intrigue of the former royal court.
Despite being the setting for one of the Vietnam War's fiercest battles, there are some incredibly well preserved sections still intact and others which are being lovingly restored. From there, the vehicle will take you to visit Thien Mu pagoda, Hue’s best-preserved religious monument. After that, head out to the serene Tu Duc and Khai Dinh Royal Tombs. En route back to your hotel, you can choose to visit an incense stick making house.

The rich soil from this village produces some of the most flavoursome vegetables and herbs in all of Hoi An. If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty, spend some time helping water the plants or fertilizing the land before cycling back to your hotel.
