I'd seen it in movies, I'd read it in magazines, but I never thought that I'd be experienced one - a Palace, in 2005. The Sofitel Dalat Palace was built in 1920 and had been renovated in 1997 with very classic outlook and decent condition indeed. My room was liked 300 sq.ft with a huge balcony facing the lake. All the interior design and furniture and fireplace and the bathtub were exactly the same as those movies of renaissance age. I was delighted to take a bubble bath in the tub without worrying the hygiene matter because it was cleaned as new. Before dark the hotel would leave a rose and a note in your bed to say good night, how sweet. Paintings of Renoir and Turner were everywhere, dare not to say they're true or not. Even the business center was decorated elegantly with a high-speed computer. Published rate is about US$150++ but consider it's 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 around.
