BANGKOK: Best Western International is expanding its presence in Vietnam with the Best Western Premier Indochine Palace due to open in the fourth quarter (4Q) of 2011 in Hue.

The hotel is located in the centre of the city, on the banks of the Perfume River, with a department store within walking distance and 20 minutes from the international airport. It boasts 222 rooms with Palace Floors, butler-serviced lounges and Club Suites. The Celadon floors pioneer a hotel-within-a-hotel design with own check-in and luxury lounge, said the hotel chain in a statement on Sept 14.

Facilities include a swimming pool, sundeck with cabana day rooms, two restaurants, a lobby lounge, spa, gymnasium and 15 function rooms.

"As a tourist destination, Hue ranks highly on Vietnam's 'must-see' list. Building on this already substantial appeal is the city's growing national importance as a gateway linking provinces and cities in the north and south, as well as those in the East West Economic Corridor. Add to this equation both air and sea access, and the result is a strategic locale Best Western will soon proudly include among its Asian destinations," said Best Western International vice president international operations (Asia & the Middle East) Glenn de Souza.
