| | Bao Dai Hotel (Bao Dai's Villas) | Hotel Review | Nha Trang | Frommers.com |
 | | Built in 1923 as a seaside resort for then-emperor Bao Dai, the hotel is a cluster of plain colonial-style buildings set high on an ocean-side hill south of Nha Trang, so far south that you're in the next town really. |
 | | There's an interesting Gothic quality to the place, and one could certainly imagine a king wandering the promontory at night, watching the hotel's lighthouse scan the sea and sky, and worrying about the loss of his kingdom, which was, in fact, the case. |
 | | Bao Dai's very room is the master suite and makes for a memorable stay. |
