Considered the focal point of Vietnamese culture
and Vietnam’s economic powerhouse, HCMC boasts a range of hotels in diverse
styles, designs and levels. The designs and styles can be divided into two
architectural types: French colonial and modern.
Regarding French colonial, we must mention some typical yet striking hotels such
as Rex, Majestic, Riverside and Continental. The Rex Hotel is thought to have
originally opened as a French garage in the early 20th century and for over 80
years has been a city landmark, as well as a witness to the ups and downs of the
city’s history.
Positioned in the heart of the city, near City Hall, the five-star hotel
features a blend of the traditional charm of colonial architecture and
post-modern renovations. It has a range of luxury facilities and international
standard services, 289 uniquely designed guestrooms, function & meeting rooms
ideal for weddings and events, the La Cochinchine Spa, six in-house restaurants
and a cafe.
Built in 1925, the 175-room Majestic Saigon Hotel is also a historical landmark
of stunning French colonial design and it includes a panoramic view of the
Saigon River. Despite several renovations, the hotel retains its original old
world charm and impeccable elegance all reflecting classic French colonial
architecture. The Continental Hotel Saigon is the city’s oldest and has been a
central Saigon landmark for well over a century. The Continental embraces the
rich character and charm of original French colonial architecture and has
remained virtually unchanged since opening in 1880. The luxurious and romantic
elegance extends to 86 spacious guest-rooms of five types and restaurants and
bars serving both traditional Vietnamese and European food.
Different from French colonial architecture, Caravelle, Legend and Sheraton are
striking representatives of modern decor and share the warm combination of
luxury and coziness. The Caravelle Hotel prides itself on traditional refinement
in an ambiance that is welcoming and at the same time offers luxurious modern
living in sophisticated and understated surroundings that include splendid
chandeliers and perfect symmetry. The open air Saigon
Saigon Bar on the roof of the hotel has a magnificent panorama view of the city.
There are 335 rooms and 8 suites. The Caravelle is ideal for buffer lovers
because the hotel’s restaurants serve up diverse cuisine. Expatriates like to
relax and take therapy treatments at its luxury spa and outdoor pool.
Sheraton Saigon Hotel & Towers boasts 472 spacious rooms, studios and suites
designed for comfort and style with personalized service and convenient
amenities. The cuisine is superb in all eight stylish restaurants. The outdoor
Wine Bar on Level 23 is an unforgettable place to watch a stunning sunset over
the city while enjoying a world-class wine list. Lounge by the pool, energize in
the state-of-the-art fitness center or simply relax in the Aqua Day Spa.
Park Hyatt Hotel Saigon, Legend Hotel Saigon, Equatorial HCMC Hotel, Kim Do
Hotel, Grand Saigon Hotel, Duxton Hotel Saigon and Renaissance Riverside Hotel
Saigon are also recommended for outstanding accommodations, luxurious
relaxation, fine food and great drinks.
