1. Park Hyatt Saigon
Forbes Travel Guide inspectors say, “Across the street from the Opera House on Lam Son Square sits Park Hyatt Saigon, a regal hotel that, despite its more youthful existence, reflects the nostalgia of Ho Chi Minh City’s French colonial history. Originally opened in 2005 but renovated in 2019, this luxury property is a pillar of tranquil elegance set within the popular tourist area of District 1, characterized by its frenetic energy and swarms of lightning-fast motorbikes. Those visiting on holiday will appreciate relaxing spaces to retreat from it all, like the tranquil Xuan Spa, while business travelers will marvel at the property’s laundry list of corporate amenities. For every type of traveler though, one chord runs throughout: the hotel’s commitment to service and honoring Vietnamese tradition, which can be witnessed in everything from the locally sourced artwork adorning every room to 2 Lam Son bar’s cocktail ingredients or the dishes at two standout restaurants, Opera and Square One.”
