In the early 1990s, hotel director Nguyen Huu Dong came up with the idea of reviving the cuisine of the Hue Court as a means for attracting tourists. He implemented his idea with the help of Hue historians and Mrs. Buu Hien, a granddaughter of King Thanh Thai.
Today, visitors to Hue can enjoy special meals including delicacies that were formerly reserved for the royal family. The most skilful and experienced hotel and restaurant chefs are in charge of preparing the dishes under the supervision of Mrs.Buu Hien, who remembers attending royal parties when she was young.
Customers can try out life as a king or queen by wearing royal robes and enjoying music and dance in the style of the royal court.
