HUE, VIETNAM—Le Spa at La Residence Hotel and Spa has added an outdoor component, opening a garden space with a sunken bath and Thai massage beds. Le Spa also published a new spa menu, featuring a Perfume River Mud Bath, a honey and milk bath and a three-hour couple’s treatment. The spa opened a salon as an adjunct to its core business, as well. In an effort to create a uniquely Vietnamese experience, Le Spa has sourced many products locally: papaya, mango, aloe vera, Vietnamese coffee, honey, milk and herbs. “Nobody confuses the experience of a treatment at La Residence with a treatment anywhere else,” said Carmen Marienberg, general manager of La Residence. In addition to 60- or 90-minute Royal Thai Massage treatments, Le Spa also offers a Vietnamese four-hand treatment and hot stone therapy. La Residence celebrated its grand opening in December 2005 following restoration of the former colonial governor’s residence. Inside, the hotel’s 122 rooms and suites, restaurants, lounges, bars and conference room are done in complementary Art Deco furnishings and décor that evoke both the 1920s and 1950s. The hotel’s fine-dining venue, Le Parfum, serves Mediterranean and French cuisine, as well as Vietnamese dishes. The conference facilities, including board rooms, can accommodate 140 guests.
