The hotel was built in 1920 and had been renovated in 1997 with very classic outlook and decent condition indeed. My room was like 300 square feet with a huge balcony facing the lake. All the interior design and furniture and fireplace and the bathtub were exactly the same as I had seen in those movies of Renaissance age. I was delighted to take a bubble bath in the tub without worrying about the hygiene matter, because it was clean as new. Before dark, the hotel would leave a rose and a note in your bed to say goodnight--how sweet.

Paintings of Renoir and Turner were everywhere--I dare not to say they're true or not. Even the business centre was decorated elegantly, with a high-speed computer. The published rate is about US$150++ (but you always get a better rate from a travel agency). Consider its good value for money. Once in a lifetime, it's definitely worthwhile and memorable, especially for honeymooners.

To me, the Sofitel Dalat Palace is a hidden treasure in the small city with great pride. Certainly, it's not just the landmark of Dalat but also the reason that people visit.
