Azerai Can Tho, Can Tho

Many visitors take a quick day trip to the outskirts of the Mekong Delta from Saigon. But the evocative “Rice Bowl” of Vietnam is best experienced at a slow pace, and Azerai Can Tho is the perfect spot from which to do that. Deep in the region, the hotel is in a great position to feel the contrasts of day-to-day Mekong life. You’re close enough to the bustling city of Can Tho to take in the lively floating markets and far enough away to see how local-life ticks by in the quieter countryside tributaries. With a local guide leading the way, you can meander through rural villages and fruit orchards by bike or foot. 

Set among mangroves and lily ponds on the banks of the Hau River tributary, The 60-room hotel fits beautifully within its surroundings. You'll feel immersed in the scenery of the Delta without even leaving the property! The style is contemporary. The Azerai is decorated with wooden furnishings and a natural colour palette that complements the ambience of the region.

Facilities are impressive for a hotel of this size, with a tennis court, a spa and yoga pavilion and a  30-metre swimming pool which is the hotel's centrepiece. Children are welcome, and there is a kids club available. 

The Azerai can fit neatly into most trips to Vietnam. Can Tho is reached in about 3 hours from Ho Chi Minh City by road, and it also works well as a stop on a river journey along the Mekong to or from Cambodia. Additionally, Can Tho has its airport just a stone's throw away from the hotel from which you can fly to or from Hanoi, Phu Quoc Island or Danang.
