Victoria Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City

The only luxury hotel in the centre of the Mekong Delta, the four star Victoria Can Tho Resort blends colonial-style architecture with the natural beauty of the river.

Close to Can Tho town, but a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, the resort lies on the banks of the Hau River, set amidst exotic gardens.

If the Mekong Delta can be described as the fruit bowl or granary of Vietnam, Can Tho, its capital, can be described as its showcase and centrepiece. Everywhere is dominated by the water and the agricultural bounty it makes possible.

Travelling around Can Tho is relatively easy as the topography is generally flat. Whether by car, rice boat, bicycle or rickshaw you just need to choose the pace and comfort level and then head off for adventure visiting the floating markets or the lush countryside.

Can Tho is approximately 4 hours by road from Ho Chi Minh City. From Can Tho you can travel on to Chau Doc on the Cambodian border in about 3 hours where you can stay overnight or continue on up the Mekong River by boat into Cambodia.
