Grand Royal Riverside Hue – Fusion Collection: A Wellness-Led Riverside Retreat in Vietnam’s Imperial City

Fusion Hotel Group has officially opened Grand Royal Riverside Hue – Fusion Collection, a wellness-inspired luxury hotel on the banks of the Huong River in central Vietnam’s former imperial capital.

A new riverside icon in historic Hue

Grand Royal Riverside Hue sits at No. 02 Hung Vuong Street on the southern bank of the Huong (Perfume) River, right beside the iconic Truong Tien Bridge. The hotel opens to guests from March 14, 2026, placing them within Hue’s UNESCO‑recognized heritage landscape, surrounded by royal citadels, pagodas and riverside scenery.

With 161 upscale rooms spread across two towers, the property is designed around the concept “A Tale of Two Times,” blending the romance of old Hue with modern comforts and skyline views. The river itself acts as both a backdrop and a narrative thread, connecting the hotel’s architecture, interiors and guest experience to the city’s storied past.

Indochine elegance meets contemporary wellness

Architecturally, Grand Royal Riverside Hue draws on Indochine‑era elegance, echoing the period of cultural exchange that helped define the city’s unique urban character. Inside, guests find natural woods, locally inspired materials and calming jade‑toned hues that create a serene, light‑filled atmosphere.

This design approach turns the hotel into a tranquil retreat where heritage and contemporary style coexist – think refined detailing, river‑view balconies and soothing color palettes that feel distinctly “Hue.” It aligns with Fusion’s broader philosophy: properties rooted in a strong sense of place, with wellness woven into the guest journey rather than added as an afterthought.

Flavours of Hue at Jade & Ginger and The Amber Lounge

Food is a central part of the experience at Grand Royal Riverside Hue. Jade & Ginger Restaurant serves a daily breakfast buffet and all‑day dining, spotlighting authentic Vietnamese favorites like bun bo Hue, pho and banh mi alongside local Hue specialties and select European dishes. It’s designed as a place where guests can sample the city’s culinary heritage without leaving the hotel.

The Amber Lounge acts as an elegant lobby lounge and social hub, shifting mood as the day unfolds. By day, it offers artisanal teas, freshly brewed coffee and light bites in a calm setting; come evening, it becomes a sophisticated bar pouring curated wines, signature cocktails and premium spirits with river views.

Sả Spa & Wellness: Hue’s new urban sanctuary

In line with Fusion’s wellness‑led identity, the hotel’s Sả Spa (lemongrass) & Wellness is designed as a holistic sanctuary rather than just a treatment add‑on. The spa features four modern treatment rooms where experienced therapists use locally sourced herbs and natural essential oils to deliver massages, facials and body therapies.

Guests also have access to a fitness center, steam room and rejuvenation services, ensuring they can balance days of heritage exploration with restorative downtime. It’s a natural fit in a city known for its slower pace and contemplative atmosphere, offering a contemporary way to unwind after visiting tombs, temples and riverside promenades.

Meetings, events and opening offers

Beyond leisure stays, Grand Royal Riverside Hue is equipped for corporate gatherings and MICE events, with flexible venues accommodating up to 370 guests. Co‑working spaces, lounges, reception areas and elevated function rooms make it a practical base for business trips, incentive programs and small conferences in a culturally rich setting.

Opening room rates start from around USD 130 per night, including breakfast for two, with a 25% grand‑opening discount on stays until May 31, 2026 for direct bookings. Guests can further enhance their stay by joining Fusionlife, Fusion’s loyalty program, which offers extra benefits on rooms, spa and dining across the group’s portfolio.
