Executive Summary

As for the decoration, the hotel brings a unique highlight and tells its interesting story
through the hotel's decoration, which mainly uses bricks and tiles. The tiles used by the hotel
all originate and are processed in Vietnam. Among them, tiles of the Nguyen Dynasty are the
most prominent components among countless other types of ceramic tiles.
There are two main types of Nguyen Dynasty tiles: terracotta tiles and glazed terracotta
tiles. Some commonly used types are yin tiles, yang tiles, lapis lazuli tiles, cinnamon bark tiles,
nose tiles, curtain tiles, and mat tiles.

The way to decorate with bricks and tiles is also completely new. Not only used to
cover floors in hotels, but tiles can also be decorated on walls and tables as a floating display
item with many different presentation motifs such as placing multiple pieces of tiles to create
a picture, alternating tiles, and tiling. 3D style, wavy patterned tiles, and tile mosaics to create
display objects and paintings. Decorations can also be Vietnamese art paintings or paintings
of the Indochina period, patterned vases, and nostalgic home decoration items of the
Indochina period.
b. The name of the hotel
Our hotel was built and operated under the name La Tuile Boutique Hotel. So the reason
we took this name is because the word "La Tuile" in French means "tile" in English and "gach
ngoi" in Vietnamese. With a hotel name starting with a French word, our hotel will reflect the
true Indochine style - a style originating from France and with that, using tile as the name for
the hotel is the most suitable perspective for the hotel to convey its tiles story behind in the
most direct, clear and impressive way.
c. The story behind
La Tuile Boutique Hotel is a 3-star boutique hotel with Indochine style, providing guests
with a comfortable, highly aesthetic and nostalgic resort space. Taking materials from French
architecture and bricks and tiles in Vietnamese culture, La Tuile Boutique Hotel builds a
gateway to bring guests into the world of the past. Not only does it revive the glorious decade
of Saigon - Gia Dinh through recreating French architecture that is both modern and nostalgic.
Most especially, La Tuile Boutique Hotel also tells the historical story of ancient Saigon, from
exhibits imbued with traditional Vietnamese - Indochina decorative arts such as paintings,
ceramics and especially tiles. .
The tiles used by the hotel all originate and are processed in Vietnam. The reason why
the hotel wants to target this type of material to serve the decoration and highlight the hotel is
that during the Nguyen Dynasty, the presence of brick and tile products was much more
focused than other materials. different periods, and it can be said that this was the most
prosperous period in the history of Vietnamese bricks and tiles because the Nguyen Dynasty
used them commonly in the construction of Hue royal architecture. Therefore, this material will
be like a beautiful image, both traditional and solemn, making customers feel like they are
living in a royal palace of the Nguyen Dynasty during the most prosperous period and being
treated like royalty. royalty and nobility in the space of intersection between Western and
Eastern art styles.
Besides, the contrast between the French-style exterior and the interior decorated with
Vietnamese tiles and the Front Office's ao dai uniform is a profound metaphor, representing
"French protection in Indochina." - Vietnam in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The large
5
exterior is the French protection for the small but beautiful country and people of Vietnam
through the decoration of Nguyen Dynasty tiles, ao dai uniforms, and furniture with Vietnamese
materials.
The meaning of the story
La Tuile Boutique Hotel conveys to domestic Vietnamese customers - a slow lifestyle in a
nostalgic, peaceful space in the heart of a bustling, bustling city that is gradually being heavily
concreted. And brings a wonderful and interesting experience to international tourists when
this place is the intersection between modern society and ancient lifestyle, leading customers
to learn about Saigon-Gia Dinh, the history of brick and tile, reminisce about old memories of
the city, and feel the brilliant and harmonious combination of French architecture and
traditional Vietnamese culture.
d. Logo
The hotel uses a logo with a bright, warm yellow-brown color and black as the main
colors, including the full hotel name, star level and style the hotel wants to aim for with the
typical symbol being an image of bricks and tiles designed with Ky Ha motifs. In order to
express the correct image that the hotel wants to build, it is “Using the tiles as a measure to
best serve customers”. In addition, the font of the word "La Tuile" was also chosen with a
flexible design to express the uniqueness and aesthetics that are clearly emphasized for the
entire operation of the hotel.
e. Uniform
Front Office Department
Uniforms for the front office and Spa are sewn from linen fabric woven from flax stalks.
This fabric is environmentally friendly and biodegradable. The uniform color is yellow to match
the main tone of the hotel as well as create a cozy overall look.
The ao dai for Front Office is sewn in an innovative style with a short hem, keeping the
traditional features of the Vietnamese national costume while mixing in modern features. In
addition, modern ao dai sewn with linen will help employees move and work comfortably
because this is a soft and airy material thanks to its structure with many gaps, allowing air to
easily flow in and limit discomfort and heat. The pattern printed on the edge of the ao dai is
miniature Ky Ha geometric patterns to harmonize with the style of the Indochine hotel. Along
with that, the left chest is embroidered with the logo and hotel name.
The Spa Uniform has the same color and stretchy fabric material to bring comfort, while
the Spa uniform has a design with short sleeves, long pants, round collar, spacious and airy
but still standard in form. From there, it enhances the aesthetic beauty of spa services, both

neat and professional. They also have Ky Ha geometric patterns printed on the edge of the
uniform, along with the left chest embroidered with the logo and hotel name. And it can be said
that the Spa uniform is a modernized ao dai from the Front Office uniform.
Meaning: The hotel aims at a traditional Vietnamese costume but with innovation
following modern trends to show harmony without "dissolving". Introduce the traditional beauty
of ao dai to international visitors. Bring a feeling of luxury and class, creating a polite and noble
space for the hotel. Make a difference and an impression as a material that conveys the story
of La Tuile bricks and tiles.

Housekeeping Department
Although they are not representatives of the Hotel, the housekeepers play an extremely
important role in the hotel. They are the ones who take on the work of maintaining the
cleanliness of the hotel, contributing to bringing the best quality service and a beautiful image
to the hotel. Therefore, housekeeping uniforms contribute significantly to building a beautiful,
polite and professional image of the hotel in the eyes of customers.
The Housekeeping uniform uses a muted palette of brown, beige, and light orange,
providing a subtle and stain-concealing appearance. Crafted from a durable cotton-polyester
blend, it offers excellent dust resistance, ease of cleaning, sweat absorption, and a polished,
anti-wrinkle finish. The design features a moderate slim fit with straight sleeves, a tidy hem,
and geometric motifs inspired by the Indochine style. Embroidered with the hotel's logo, name,
and a personalized nameplate, the outfit exudes professionalism. The straight-leg pants, with
a high waistband, prioritize comfort and elegance. This simple yet stylish design aligns with
the hotel's Indochine aesthetic, creating a professional and comfortable look for staff.
