A palace in the heart of West Lake Located on the peaceful shores of West Lake, Dusit Tu Hoa Palace is not only a luxury 5-star hotel, but also a living work of art telling the story of Vietnamese culture and heritage.
Inspired by Princess Tu Hoa – daughter of King Ly Than Tong (12th century), who is honored by the world as the mother of Vietnamese silk industry – the hotel is a place to recreate traditional beauty through a contemporary lens.
We imagine that: if in the past, King Ly Than Tong loved his daughter – a princess who did not care about silk and velvet, only lived for the people and heritage – then the king would build a palace by the lake so that she could live peacefully, elegantly and full of inspiration. And Dusit Tu Hoa Palace is exactly that image – a modern palace for a classical and noble soul.
Princess Tu Hoa – Symbol of Wisdom and Kindness
Not choosing to live in a golden palace, Princess Tu Hoa asked her father’s permission to go with her maids to the outskirts of the capital – today’s Nghi Tam village – to reclaim land, grow mulberry trees, raise silkworms, weave silk and teach the people. She is a model of a Vietnamese woman: simple, wise, living for the community and leaving behind a lasting legacy.
