Where to stay in Hue — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks

Hue is the former imperial capital of the Nguyen dynasty and a World Heritage site — the Imperial City within its walls, royal tombs along the Perfume River, Thien Mu Pagoda, and refined imperial cuisine. It has a calmer, more classic feel than other cities and works well as an extension of Da Nang and Hoi An.
