Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
District 1
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
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.
Binh Thanh
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.
District 1
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
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.
District 1
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.
