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