Silk Path Grand Hue Hotel & Spa can host a conference of up to 500 people theatre-style, a banquet for 350, breakout sessions of 60 and board meetings of 20, with 198 rooms and suites upstairs for delegates. The hotel stands at 02 Le Loi Street in Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam, in the center of the country.
Seminars and company events
The main room is the Kim Long Grand Ballroom. It measures 430 square meters and takes 500 people in theatre style, 300 in classroom style or 144 around a single U-shaped table. Three Song Huong rooms of about 80 square meters each take 60 people theatre-style or 36 in classroom style, which suits workshops running next to a plenary in the ballroom. The Bach Yen Boardroom, 53 square meters, seats 20 around a U-shaped table for executive meetings or interviews.
The hotel gives these figures as a guide and adapts layouts to each event. An organizer can therefore plan a two-day program with a plenary, three breakouts and a boardroom under one roof. Delegates who stay on site walk from their rooms to the meeting floor, which keeps arrivals, coffee breaks and lunches short.

History and setting
The interiors mix references to Hue's imperial court with Indochine and modern touches. The Uni Suite borrows its design from palace architecture, and the Triple Classic takes the royal golden ao dai as its theme. Some rooms overlook the An Cuu River. The Imperial City, listed by UNESCO, is a short drive away for a group visit between sessions.
Getting there
Phu Bai International Airport lies about 15 kilometers south of the city center, around 25 minutes by car, with domestic flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Hue railway station, on the line between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, is in the city. Da Nang International Airport, with more international routes, is about 100 kilometers away by road.
