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 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.
