Michelin Selected
Michelin
Amaya Saigon Boutique Hotel brings Japanese minimalism to Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 with blonde wood interiors, shoji-style screens, and woven lounge chairs borrowed from ryokan vocabulary.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Le Thanh Ton's Japan Town surrounds the hotel, putting late-night izakayas and ramen counters right at the doorstep.
The rooms
Sliding shoji screens enclose pale timber bedrooms, equipped with ceramic tea sets, deep bathtubs, and Japanese bidet toilets.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and sauna
An open-air rooftop jacuzzi looks across District 1, and the thermal suite houses a dry sauna and steam room.
At the table
Chefs prepare breakfast at the marble counter, and Two Birds One Stone pours specialty coffee throughout the day.
