THỪA THIÊN-HUẾ — The La Residence Hotel & Spa in the central province of Thừa Thiên-Huế has a new brand name after a confidential acquisition by the Azerai Group owned by veteran Indonesian hotelier Adrian Zecha.

La Residence is now called Azerai La Residence Huế, but details of the acquisition have not been revealed. The 122-room facility will remain in its old structure. Azerai is planning to update the facility to make it fit the Azerai style of affordable luxury.

Azerai expected the facility to remain the top choice for hotel accommodation in Huế, the former royal capital city in the central region of Việt Nam.

Previously, the hotel was managed by Accor Hotels. It changed ownership once in 2017 and Azerai took charge of the hotel this year.

Originally, the facility was a colonial mansion built by the French in 1930. The facility is one of the iconic sites along the famed Hương (Perfume) River of Huế thanks to its architectural beauty.

The hotel was voted one of the 20 best hotels in Asia by readers of Condé Nast Traveller Magazine. — VNS
