Caravelle Saigon, South Vietnam

Since opening on Christmas Eve 1959, Caravelle Saigon has gained renown for being at the heart of everything important. Located in the city centre, the hotel is a short walk to iconic landmarks and locations, such as the Saigon Municipal Theatre, also known as the Opera House, and Notre Dame Cathedral. The historic Dong Khoi Street, modern Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and the legendary Ben Thanh Market are also nearby.

The five-star accommodation meets all the expectations of the modern traveller. Newly renovated rooms feature upgraded décor and finishings including bathrooms with imported marble throughout. Rooms start at 34 square metres and feature large soundproof windows which offer guests unparalleled views across the heart of the city, including the historic Opera House on one side and glimpses of Saigon River on the other.

The centrepiece of Caravelle Saigon’s recent upgrade is the Signature Lounge, situated on the ninth floor of the Heritage Wing, it boasts one of the best executive lounges South East Asia has to offer. Serving breakfast, afternoon tea, evening canapés and cocktails, the Signature Lounge is the perfect way to end a long day, hold a small business meeting or relax over a book and a glass of the all-day complimentary sparkling wine. All Signature room types and suites enjoy exclusive access to the lounge.

Nineteen Buffet Restaurant is renowned for its unparalleled seafood buffet and five-star dining experience. Saigon Saigon Rooftop Bar on the top floor of the Heritage Wing is one of the few remaining bars in this rapidly developing city with a long and colourful history to tell. Café de l’Opera and Tapas Kitchen offer quite possibly one of the best locations where you can enjoy great views with a dash of history, and a slice of modernity all rolled into one.
