In 1893, Dalat was found by the protégé of Doctor Louis Pasteur-Doctor Alexandre Yersin, who decided to analyze the climatic and geological conditions of this region. He drafted the first outline for the development of the plateau. Four years later, the general Gouvernor of Indochina directed that a sanatorium to be built in this area. The development of Dalat progressed slowly until 1915 when new roads were built to improve access from Saigon. Rail service from Dalat to the coastal city of Phan Rang began operations in 1932, a remarkable feat considering the elevation of Dalat at 1.500meters above sea level.

A growing tourist trade led to the decision to build a luxury hotel, the Langbian Palace Hotel. The hotel was inaugurated in 1922 with ownership belonging to the French administration of Indochina. The very firts meeting between the Vietminh and French Gouverment was held in the Langbian Palace Hotel in 1946. Famous Guests of the hotel include Actor, Robert de Niro, the Lord Mayor of London and H.R. Prince Hendrik of Denmark. The hotel also played host to many visiting heads of states who were personal Guests of Emperor Bao Dai, himself a resident of Dalat with his three palaces built near the hotel.

Over the years, the hotels changed hands several times until World War II began. After the war, the hotel returned to the French administration until 1958 when the control of the hotel was given to the south vietnamese gouverment under the new name, the Dalat Palace Hotel.

The Langbian Palace Hotel re-opened in May 1995 under the name hotel Sofitel Dalat Palace. Renovations have retained the original 1920’s colonial style of the hotel and have blended the old French style with a touch of traditonal vietnamese hospitality. The opulence in some of the restoration is breath taking. Over 2.000 art pieces and sculptures adorn the rooms and public areas.

The gourmet restaurant ‘Le Rabelais’ specialises in French cuisine and is the perfect venue to savour delectable dishes prepared by the master chefs of the hotel. Guests can choose from a wide selection of French or new world wines to accompany their meal. The restful ambience od Sofitel is evident at the intimate Le Rabelais Bar with its romantic fireplace and live piano music.
