Vietnamese wellness-inspired hospitality brand, Fusion Hotel Group, has announced the opening of Grand Royal Riverside Hue – Fusion Collection. This new luxury hotel has a riverside location within the UNESCO ‑ recognised heritage site of Hue which served as Vietnam’s imperial capital from 1802 to 1945.
Blending cultural heritage with contemporary hospitality, Grand Royal Riverside Hue delivers an immersive guest experience rooted in history and modern comfort. Hue is internationally recognised for its historic monuments, scenic river landscapes and enduring cultural significance. It is about 700 km north of Ho Chi Minh City and two hours by car from Da Nang International Airport.
The opening marks another milestone in Fusion’s successful expansion into some of the region’s most alluring destinations.
Mr. Christopher Hur, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Hotel Group, said: “Hue is one of those very special locations where history isn’t backdrop — it is Hue’s identity. Opening here is a deliberate move: it rounds our Vietnam portfolio in a destination that demands authenticity.
We’re not just adding keys; we’re planting a flag in a time when travellers are increasingly seeking meaningful experiences — and Fusion, with our wellness-first approach, is uniquely positioned to answer that call. Grand Royal Riverside Hue embodies everything that makes the Fusion Collection distinctive — a strong sense of place, wellness at its core, and experiences that couldn’t exist anywhere else.”
A Tale of Two Eras
The new hotel features two towers comprising 161 guestrooms with private balconies. Inspired by the Perfume River, a defining symbol of Hue’s culture and history, the property is crafted around the concept “A Tale of Two Eras,” blending the elegance of the past with the vibrancy of the present.
Architecturally inspired by Indochine elegance, the hotel interiors are layered with natural wood and locally inspired materials, softened by jade-toned hues. The result is a serene and elegant retreat that pays homage to the former imperial capital, where refined design details seamlessly bridge heritage character and contemporary comfort.
Dining
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 specialties and 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.
Health & Wellness
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 center, steam room and skincare and rejuvenation services, delivering a holistic relaxation experience.
MICE amenities
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.
