Book to recount Caravelle history

Like people, hotels have stories, and the Caravelle Hotel in HCM City has narrated its in Caravelle – Saigon: A History, a book that traces its 50-year history.
The book, to be released this month, took a team of writers and researchers and international journalists who lived and worked at the hotel a year to write.
It will unfold as a straight narrative comprising stories from individuals, detailing among other things the tumult of the 1960s and early 1970s.
"The Caravelle’s history makes it part of the fabric of HCM City and Viet Nam in a way that very few hotels, anywhere can be," said John Gardner, its general manager.
The book will cost VND750,000 in hard cover and VND550,000 in paperback.
