When visiting the former Imperial City of Hue, Vietnam, one expects crumbling citadels, peaceful pagodas and picturesque streets; one does not expect to find a well-preserved sanctum to the glorious Art-Deco years, stocked with first-rate spirits and Cuban cigars.
Oozing with 1920s elegance, Bar Le Gouverneur at La Residence Hue Hotel and Spa greets visitors with refreshing airiness and comfy, red-cushioned armchairs crafted from dark wood in the Vietnamese style. Natural light pours into the crescent-shaped space from floor-to-ceiling windows, opening up enticing views of the resort’s tropical gardens and the Perfume River.
