Silk Path Grand Hue Hotel & Spa is a five-star city hotel at 02 Le Loi Street in Hue, central Vietnam. It has 198 rooms and suites, two restaurants plus a lobby lounge and a garden courtyard cafe, a garden swimming pool, Chi Spa, a gym with a yoga space and a Kidz Club for children under six.
What is Silk Path Grand Hue Hotel & Spa?
Silk Path Grand Hue Hotel & Spa is a five-star hotel run by Silk Path Hotels & Resorts, the Vietnamese group that also operates in Hanoi, Sapa and Dong Trieu. The address is 02 Le Loi Street, Hue, and the hotel telephone is +84 234 397 5555.
The building puts European architecture together with Imperial-style interiors drawn from the Nguyen Dynasty — the dynasty that ruled Vietnam from Hue until 1945 — so the decoration inside the hotel points at the same history guests have come to see across the river.
Where is the hotel, and what can you reach on foot?
Le Loi Street runs along the south bank of the Perfume River and is Hue’s hotel row. The Imperial City sits on the north bank, reached over the Trang Tien bridge or the Phu Xuan bridge; the riverside promenade, the dragon-boat pier and the main restaurant streets are on the hotel’s own side.
That south-bank position is why we put clients here rather than beside the Citadel. Hue is walked early in the morning and after dark, not in the afternoon heat, and this is the part of the city where an evening walk works — cafes, the riverside path and a flat route back to the door. The Imperial City is a short drive, or about 15 to 20 minutes on foot over the bridge depending on which gate you use. Our guide to the Imperial City of Hue covers what to see once you are inside it.
How far is Silk Path Grand Hue from the Citadel and the station?
The distances below are measured from the property’s own coordinates to each landmark, then allowed for a real walking route rather than a straight line. Times are an ordinary pace.
Landmark | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
Hue Railway Station | About 400 m | 5 minutes on foot |
Hue Imperial City (the Citadel) | About 1.7 km | 23 minutes on foot, 6 by car |
Truong Tien Bridge | About 2 km | 26 minutes on foot |
Dong Ba Market | About 2.4 km | 32 minutes on foot |
Thien Mu Pagoda | About 5 km | 12 minutes by car |
Tomb of Khai Dinh | About 10 km | 20 minutes by car |
Phu Bai International Airport | About 15 km | 25 minutes by car |
The railway station at 400 metres is the detail worth using. Guests arriving on the Da Nang–Hue heritage train can walk to the hotel in five minutes rather than queue for a taxi, which is a genuinely pleasant way to arrive in Hue.
What rooms does Silk Path Grand Hue have?
There are 198 rooms and suites. The hotel describes them as seven categories; eight are published on its accommodation page, listed here in full.
Category | Size | Beds | View |
|---|---|---|---|
Deluxe | 24 sqm | 1 king or 2 singles | City |
Classic | 23–28 sqm | 1 king or 2 singles | Garden and pool, or city |
Premium Classic | 28–30 sqm | 1 king or 2 singles | River or city |
Triple Classic | 38 sqm | 1 king and 1 single, separate seating area | City |
Family Connecting | 24 sqm + 24 sqm | 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | Not stated |
Junior Suite | 55–57 sqm | 1 king, 1 bedroom and 1 living room | River, garden and pool, or city |
Executive Suite | 72 sqm | 1 king, 1 bedroom and 1 living room | City |
Presidential Suite | 114 sqm | 1 king and 2 singles, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | River |
Which room works best for a family in Hue?
Triple Classic at 38 sqm is the category most families miss. It takes three people in one room with a separate seating area, which is cheaper and simpler than two rooms for one parent travelling with two children. Family Connecting joins two 24 sqm Deluxe rooms through an internal door, with two bathrooms, and is the better answer for two adults plus teenagers. For a river view, the Premium Classic, the Junior Suite and the Presidential Suite are the categories that have one — the Executive Suite, although larger than the Junior Suite, faces the city.
Where can you eat and drink inside the hotel?
Four venues, and between them the hotel covers breakfast through to a late drink.
Venue | What it serves | Hours |
|---|---|---|
Nam Phuong | Hue specialities, other Vietnamese dishes and some Western favourites; breakfast is served here | 06:00–22:00; breakfast 06:00–10:00 |
Olivio | European with a Mediterranean focus — Spanish tapas, Italian pizza and pasta, wines from its own cellar | Lunch 11:00–18:00; dinner 18:00–22:00 |
Lobby Lounge | Cafe, bar and lounge service in the lobby | 07:00–23:00 |
The Courtyard | Local snacks and traditional Vietnamese coffee, in the garden courtyard | Not published |
As of November 2026 these are the hours the hotel publishes. Nam Phuong has private dining rooms, which is the practical reason it matters to us: a group of 12 to 20 can eat a Hue menu without booking out a restaurant in town, and it stays open late enough for clients arriving on the evening train.
What facilities does the hotel have beyond the rooms?
Facility | What it is |
|---|---|
Garden swimming pool | Wraps around the central courtyard, with trees and sunbeds around it |
Chi Spa | Foot-massage recliners, private rooms for one or two people, hair care; global and locally inspired treatments |
Gym | Free weights and machines plus a dedicated yoga space, overlooking the garden and pool |
Kidz Club | Beanbags and floor games for children under six |
An Nam Lounge | Business centre and reading lounge in one |
What does Chi Spa in Hue offer?
Chi Spa is the hotel’s own spa, with recliners for foot massage, private rooms for one or two people, and hair care on site. The treatment list mixes international standards with treatments built on local technique. In Hue the booking that earns its money is the foot massage rather than the full body: most of a Hue day is spent walking the Citadel and the royal tombs, and an hour of foot work before dinner is what clients actually need.
How do you reach Hue and the hotel?
Route | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
Fly to Phu Bai International Airport, south of the city | Domestic flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, then a road transfer to Le Loi Street | Short trips and arrivals from the south |
Train to Hue station | Hue station is on the south bank, the same side of the river as the hotel | Travellers who want the Hai Van coastal stretch by rail |
Road from Da Nang or Hoi An over the Hai Van Pass | Private car, with stops at Lang Co and at the pass summit | Anyone combining Hue with Da Nang and Hoi An |
The Da Nang road is the one worth thinking about. The Hai Van tunnel is faster, the pass road is the reason to make the drive at all, and in heavy rain the pass is where the delay happens. We route over the pass in the morning and through the tunnel if the weather has closed in. See our 6-day Hoi An and Hue tour and the 5-day Da Nang, Hue and Hoi An tour for how the two cities fit together.
When is the best time of year to stay in Hue?
Period | Conditions | Why come |
|---|---|---|
February–April | Warm and mostly dry, gardens in flower | The most comfortable window for walking the Citadel and the tombs |
May–August | Hot, with the strongest sun in June and July | Early starts and the pool in the afternoon; the garden pool earns its keep here |
September–December | Hue’s wet season: heavy rain, and flooding on low streets in bad years | Fewest visitors, and the best light on the river between showers |
January | Cool and often grey | A quiet city, and Tet preparations in the markets |
Hue is the wettest of Vietnam’s major cities, and the rain is the thing to plan around rather than the heat. Our month-by-month Hue guides go through each one:

Who is this hotel right for, and who should look elsewhere?
It fits travellers who want a full-service base on the river side of Hue, families who need a triple or connecting rooms, and groups who want a private dining room inside the hotel. It fits less well for anyone who wants a resort day, because Hue is a city stay and the sea is over the Hai Van Pass at Lang Co or an hour east at Thuan An. Clients who want both usually sleep two nights here and move to the coast afterwards. For what fills those two days, see our 13 must-see attractions in Hue, the Khai Dinh tomb guide and Thien Mu Pagoda.
Is Hue still in Thua Thien Hue province?
No. Since 1 January 2025 Hue has been a centrally-governed city in its own right, under the National Assembly resolution passed on 30 November 2024, so “Thua Thien Hue province” is no longer a current name. From 1 July 2025 the district tier was abolished across Vietnam under Resolution 202/2025/QH15, so addresses in Hue now give a ward and the city with no district in between.
Nothing moved on the ground: the Imperial City, the tombs and the hotel are where they were. It does mean older listings and guidebooks name administrative units that no longer exist. We set out the whole reform in our guide to Vietnam’s move from 63 to 34 provinces and cities.
