Best Luxury Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City
Once known as Saigon (and often still referred to by this former title), Ho Chi Minh City is the largest metropolis in Vietnam. A business hub, some come here for work, many pass through while touring Asia, while others visit because they’re intrigued by its complex history, both ancient and modern. The eclectic mix of buildings includes skyscrapers, Colonial architecture, cathedrals, palaces, ornate temples and Chinese pagodas. The rooftop bars, along with vibrant colourful restaurants and the War Remnants Museum are not to be missed. Here are our picks of luxe hotels in Ho Chi Minh City.
