Settha Palace Hotel

Frommer's Review

Once the distinguished address for visitors from the adjacent colonies of Indochina, this masterfully restored, early-20th-century French colonial mansion traced a long history of decline before its multimillion-dollar face-lift and 1999 reopening. A small circular drive leads to the columned marble entry, where light coming through the large windows lends a softness to the lobby that is not unlike stepping into a sepia photograph of a distant time. Rooms are cozy, with antique details, dark-wood reproduction furnishings, and stalwart four-poster beds. Bathrooms are small but elegant. If a stay at the Palace is a trip to the past, modern amenities like in-room Internet access and satellite TV will keep you connected in the present. The hotel's elegant restaurant, La Belle Epoque, serves excellent Continental cuisine. With service unmatched in town, the Palace offers quality far exceeding its price tag.
