Colline is a name derived from French. The reason for choosing a French name is because people often liken the city of Da Lat to the miniature image of a poetic and romantic Paris. 'In Vietnamese, Colline means ''hill''.' Like the location of the Hôtel Colline building, located right on the top of the hill of Phan Boi Chau main road. That is also the inspiration for the name Hôtel Colline - A hotel of international stature.
