Saigon Domaine Luxury Residences
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Located on Thanh Da Island, the Saigon Domaine offers a luxurious, peaceful stay away from the hustle and bustle of central Ho Chi Minh. This property has 48 one- to four-bedroom apartments with full kitchens and an elegant mix of colonial and contemporary decor. Some kitchen appliances could use an update, but units all include DVD players, sound systems, flat-screen TVs, and washer/dryers. There are two average pools, a well-equipped fitness center, a kids’ club, and great freebies -- such as Wi-Fi and breakfast (served daily on a floating terrace on the river) -- but there is no full spa on-site. The hotel is a 15- to 20-minute drive from most major attractions, but there is free shuttle service daily to District 1.
New World Saigon Hotel
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Located smack in the middle of District 1, the 553-room New World Saigon Hotel is a good pick for business and leisure travelers alike. The property features three restaurants, a large outdoor pool, a wonderful fitness center complete with a hydrotherapy area, and a high-end spa. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and bright, but decor is overall a little bland and dated, and some units can get noise from the neighboring rooftop bar. Although the hotel caters mostly to business travelers, its location within walking distance of virtually every major attraction makes it a popular pick among tourists as well.
Hotel Equatorial Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The 333-room Hotel Equatorial Ho Chi Minh City is a solid luxury pick for business travelers, families, and couples alike. Rooms are large, bright, and contemporary, with up-to-date amenities including minibars and electric kettles plus king beds -- but some are tired and in need of an update. With a serene outdoor pool, a well-equipped fitness center, an acclaimed restaurant, and great services, this property is on par with other high-end hotels in town. Its location in District 5 may not be the most convenient for those interested in visiting the main sights, but the hotel offers free shuttle service to District 1 several times a day. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
