What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Kin Hotel Đông Du takes its design cues from the Kingsman films: leather, dark wood, and a lobby that feels like stepping into a spy's private club.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Bach Dang Wharf sits two minutes away on foot, and the Saigon Opera House is just around the corner.
The rooms
Rooms pair dark wood with tailored navy tones, and select city-view categories include deep soaking bathtubs.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out across dark timber counters, with glass cloches displaying fresh pastries alongside Vietnamese dishes.
How it began
A group of Singaporean and Vietnamese friends opened the hotel in 2024, launching their boutique brand in District 1.
