The wellness-inspired hotel features 161 upscale rooms that reflect the rich heritage of Hue City and the Huong River.

Fusion announces the opening of Grand Royal Riverside Hue  –  Fusion Collection, a new luxury hotel in the heart of Hue City, central Vietnam. The opening marks another milestone in Fusion’s successful expansion into some of the region’s most alluring destinations.

Set on the southern bank of the Huong River, adjacent to the iconic Truong Tien Bridge, the hotel, which opens to guests on 14 March, boasts a prime riverside location within the UNESCO‑recognised heritage landscape of Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

Blending cultural heritage with contemporary hospitality, Grand Royal Riverside Hue delivers an immersive guest experience rooted in history, place, and modern comfort. Hue is internationally recognised for its historic monuments, scenic river landscapes, and enduring cultural significance.

Located at No.  02  Hung  Vuong  Street, the new hotel comprises two towers featuring 161  guestrooms. Inspired by the Huong River  –  a defining symbol of Hue’s culture and history  –  the property is crafted around the concept A  Tale  of  Two  Times, blending the elegance of the past with the vibrancy of the present. The river serves as a picturesque backdrop and a unifying narrative thread guiding the hotel’s design and guest journey.

Architecturally inspired by Indochine elegance, the hotel reflects a period of cultural exchange that shaped Hue’s distinctive urban identity. Interiors are layered with natural wood and locally inspired materials, softened by jade‑toned hues that evoke calm and balance. The result is a serene and elegant retreat paying homage to the former imperial capital, where refined design details seamlessly bridge heritage character and contemporary comfort.

Dining and lounge experiences

The hotel’s Jade  &  Ginger  Restaurant serves a daily breakfast buffet and all‑day dining, featuring authentic Vietnamese flavours such as bun bo Hue, pho, and banh mi, alongside signature Hue specialities, selected European dishes, and other cuisines.

Complementing the dining experience, the Amber  Lounge is the hotel’s elegant lobby lounge and social hub. By day, it offers artisanal teas, freshly brewed coffee, and light refreshments in a tranquil setting. In the evening, the space transitions into a refined bar presenting curated wines, signature cocktails, and premium spirits.

Wellness and meetings

In keeping with Fusion’s strong brand emphasis on health and wellness, the new hotel features Sả Spa  (lemongrass) &  Wellness with four modern treatment rooms staffed by experienced therapists who use locally sourced herbs and natural essential oils in treatments. The spa also integrates a fitness centre, steam room, as well as skincare and rejuvenation services, delivering a holistic relaxation experience.

In addition, the hotel includes meeting and event facilities suitable for corporate functions and MICE activities, with a capacity of up to 370  guests. A variety of flexible spaces, including co‑working areas, lounges, reception spaces, and elevated venues, cater to the diverse needs of leisure travellers, business guests, and event organisers.
