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 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.
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.
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.
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 3
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.
