Ranked by overall score. Updated February 2026.

The Reverie Saigon — District 1
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.6 Exceptional

The Reverie is the most extravagant hotel in Vietnam — an Italian-designed spectacular of Murano glass chandeliers, hand-woven silk headboards, and onyx-lined bathrooms that makes no apologies for its baroque maximalism. The rooftop Times Square bar and R&J Italian restaurant are genuine Saigon institutions.

Park Hyatt Saigon — District 1
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.5 Exceptional

Park Hyatt Saigon occupies a perfectly proportioned white colonial building on Lam Son Square — its Opera restaurant, afternoon tea, and rooftop pool remain HCMC benchmarks, and the sense of calm restraint amid the city's chaos is exactly what the Park Hyatt brand promises and delivers here.

Hotel des Arts Saigon — District 3
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.2 Superb

Hotel des Arts is HCMC's most sophisticated boutique — its MGallery designation is well-earned, with 170 rooms of Art Deco elegance, the outstanding Café des Stagiaires rooftop bar, and a location in District 3 that delivers a more authentic Saigon experience than the D1 flagships.

The Myst Dong Khoi — District 1
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.1 Superb

The Myst sits on the storied Dong Khoi Street in a handsomely designed tower with rooftop pool, craft cocktail bar, and some of the best views over the colonial streetscape available at a price that significantly undercuts its immediate neighbours.

Caravelle Saigon — District 1
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.2 Superb

The Caravelle is living history — foreign correspondents sheltered in its rooms during the Vietnam War while Saigon Bar on the rooftop became legendary. Beautifully restored and expanded, it remains HCMC's most storied address with its heritage tower and modern Signature Wing complementing each other.

Hotel Nikko Saigon — District 1
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.0 Superb

Hotel Nikko brings Japanese precision and genuine warm service to the HCMC luxury market — its 334 rooms are immaculately maintained, the Nagomi Spa is outstanding, and Benkay Japanese restaurant serves some of the city's most authentic and precisely executed Japanese cuisine.

Fusion Original Saigon — Binh Thanh
$$ Mid-range
★ 8.9 Excellent

Fusion's all-inclusive philosophy — spa treatments included in the rate — makes it HCMC's most compelling wellness value proposition. The spacious rooms, rooftop pool, and daily spa credits create a resort-in-the-city experience that is hard to replicate at the price.

  • Binh Thanh
  • Wellness

Liberty Central Saigon — District 1
$ Budget-friendly
★ 8.6 Excellent

Liberty Central is the smartest budget-to-mid option in D1 — its rooftop bar delivers 360-degree Saigon views, rooms are clean, bright, and well-equipped, and the Ben Thanh Market location puts everything within walking distance at rates that the colonial-era flagships charge for breakfast.

  • District 1

  • Views
  • Nightlife
Check Availability
Hotel Majestic Saigon — District 1
$$ Mid-range
★ 8.8 Excellent

The 1925 Majestic on the Saigon riverfront is the city's most romantically atmospheric colonial hotel — the white facade, riverside Breeze bar, and art-deco interiors carry a genuine sense of Saigon's storied past. Recently restored rooms maintain the heritage character with modern comforts.

  • District 1

An Lam Retreats Saigon River — Binh Thanh
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.0 Superb

An Lam Retreats delivers a boutique riverside resort experience just minutes from the city — private river terraces, Vietnamese-inspired spa treatments, and a genuine commitment to tranquillity make it HCMC's most distinctive wellness retreat for those who want calm without sacrificing urban access.

When is the best time to visit Ho Chi Minh City?

Should I book hotels in Ho Chi Minh City in advance?
