 * Comment. This gets plenty of coverage in guidebooks covering Da Lat, but usually a couple of paragraphs in the "Also worth seeing" section rather than a page or so among the main tourist attractions (several of which already have Wikipedia articles). English books sometimes refer to it as Bảo Đại's summer palace, to distinguish it from another residence of Bảo Đại in Da Lat (apparently known as Dinh I in Vietnamese) - the Da Lat Wikipedia article lists "The Palace of Bao Dai King", which could be either of them (they seem to get roughly equal treatment in guidebooks). I am completely (and genuinely) unsure about notability - apart from guidebooks, it seems to get one or two mentions in books about Bảo Đại and also as an example of French modernist architecture transplanted to Vietnam. However, chasing this further in GBooks seems either to end up with snippets or with books in Vietnamese. Of course, if kept, the article will need a fairly thorough rewrite.
