Victoria Chau Doc in Vietnam - Experience Travel Group

Built in colonial style with low-rise French architectural design, the four star Victoria Chau Doc Hotel blends with its natural surroundings.

The hotel is located on the banks of the Mekong River and offers front seat views of the river habitat with its famous fish farming villages, floating markets and Cham villages.

Deep in the Mekong Delta, Chau Doc town is just over half way between the capital cities of Vietnam and Cambodia. Such proximity to Cambodia has nurtured an eclectic mix of Cham, Khmer, Chinese and Vietnamese cultures and historical richness. The local minority groups add colour and variety to the area, this is most apparent in the traditional fabrics and clothes being worn as well as the local architecture..

Ideal for overland travellers crossing between Vietnam and Cambodia, Victoria Chau Doc suits those looking to break the journey in comfort.

It’s also a smart choice for culturally curious travellers keen to experience a more traditional, less-visited corner of the Mekong Delta.

The location of the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel makes it an ideal stopover point for anyone travelling from Vietnam to Cambodia as well as a great base to explore the fascinating Chau Doc region. The journey from the Victoria to/from Phnom Penh in Cambodia takes about 4/5 hours by speedboat along the Mekong River. The journey to/from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam is 175 miles by car but takes a little longer due to the river crossings required to navigate the branches of the Delta. You can break up the journey between Chau Doc and Ho Chi Minh City and enhance your experience of the Mekong Delta by stopping overnight in Victoria Chau Doc Hotel en route.

In Our Travellers’ Words

An Epic Adventure Across Southeast Asia

There were moments while I was out and about where I thought that everyone should experience this kind of mindful travel that Experience Travel organises, as it's not backpacking where you tick off the standard party hotspots, and it's not the typical cruise for tourists to visit the standard sightseeing destinations, but an experience where I really felt I got to know the countries, meet great people and do fun stuff that most people miss.

ETG look outside the box

They always come up with things that no one else seems to, that's why they are so good. They are original and trying their best to show you the real country and people and not the facade. Great listeners, always a smile and a good banter... exceptional service and insight.

Unforgettable Vietnam Memories

From the moment we landed in Vietnam to the second we left, we made magical family memories. We left some of our hearts in Vietnam. The people, the culture and the experiences ETG pulled together made our whole experience unforgettable. They took care of everything. Listened to what we like in a holiday, encouraged us to think broadly, and surpassed all expectations with their local relationships and ensured we were looked after.
