The atmosphere at Le Colonial evokes the elegance of Vietnam in the 1920s. Highlights include mosaic-like tile flooring, a vaulted pressed-tin ceiling, shuttered windows, ceiling fans, plush rattan furniture and tropical plants, all accented by the glow of candlelight. Vintage black and white photographs of life at the turn of the century adorn the walls.
