What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the Saigon hotel offers three design registers across its rooms: classic French-Vietnamese, modern luxury and a glamping-style aesthetic with tent structures and landscape-facing interiors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum are both within a five-minute walk along Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa.
The rooms
City-view balconies and neutral palettes accompany options ranging from warm wood French-Vietnamese suites to landscape-facing glamping tents.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Twin sunloungers sit beside an illuminated plunge pool on the roof, looking out across the city skyline.
The spa & gym
At the table
Morning breakfast buffets center on an illuminated marble counter, and bistro tables sit outside in the courtyard.
How it began
The building previously operated as serviced apartments before Hanoi hotelier La Passion completely rebuilt the interiors in 2025.
