Six 5-star hotels in Ho Chi Minh City – how to choose
Five of the best hotels in Ho Chi Minh City stand in District 1, the old centre.
Vinpearl Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City · Thạnh Mỹ TâyThere lie the Park Hyatt Saigon by the opera hotel – for us the first address in the city and, with 36 categories, the hotel with the widest choice –, The Reverie Saigon, the Sheraton Grand Opera Hotel Saigon, the JW Marriott Hotel Saigon and, on the water, the Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon – at 135 € the cheapest 5-star hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
On the other side of the Saigon river, in Thạnh Mỹ Tây, follows the Vinpearl Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City – in the tallest building in Vietnam.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Ho Chi Minh City one ranking runs against the price list, and that is the most useful thing we can tell you about this destination.
Anyone who has once looked out over this city – across the roofs of District 1, the river and the plain behind it – does not forget it. Exactly one hotel carries that view: the Vinpearl Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City, which sits in the tallest building in the country and is the only one with sky view and panoramic categories.
And at 141 € it is the second cheapest of the six. The most expensive hotel on the page, The Reverie Saigon at 298 €, offers something quite different: the position in the middle of District 1 and the interiors it is famous for.
Our advice: in Ho Chi Minh City decide on the side of the river first, not on the price. In District 1 you walk to the opera hotel, the post office and the food stalls; across at the tower you have the view and more quiet, but every trip into the old centre goes over the bridge.
And if you want both: some of our guests split the nights – the view first, then the city. That works easily here, because at all six hotels the suitespot benefits apply from the first night, and all six credit you points.
Where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City: District 1 or across the river
The city is large, but the decision is simple: this side of the river or the other.
JW Marriott Hotel Saigon · District 1In District 1 you stay between the opera hotel, the cathedral and the old central post office, with the Nguyễn Huệ promenade and the Bến Thành market within reach. Our recommendation: the Park Hyatt Saigon.
On the riverfront of the same district you are closer to the water and the evening boats. Our recommendation: the Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon.
And in Thạnh Mỹ Tây, across the bridge, you stay in the tallest building in the country, above the bend in the river. Our recommendation: the Vinpearl Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City.
For orientation: from District 1 to Chợ Lớn, the old Chinese quarter, is about twenty minutes, the Củ Chi tunnels are an hour and a half to the north-west, and the Mekong Delta is two hours away.
Rooms and suites: the best hotels in Ho Chi Minh City from the inside
The best hotels in Ho Chi Minh City offer 100 categories, 36 of them suites.
Sheraton Grand Opera Hotel Saigon · District 1The largest are at the Park Hyatt Saigon: two presidential suites of 190 square metres each. After them comes the designer suite of The Reverie Saigon at 126.
One detail is worth a second look: at the Park Hyatt Saigon there is a category called simply room that still measures 110 square metres – exactly as much as the Park Executive Suite in the same hotel. The name says little here; the square metres say everything.
As for the view, each hotel has its own subject. The panorama over the city belongs to the Vinpearl Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City, the river to the Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon and the garden to the Park Hyatt Saigon – each of the three as the only hotel on the page. Onto the city you look from several.

When it is at its best: from December to March. That is the dry season, with the pleasantest temperatures for long walks through the city and clear evenings over the river.
When it is cheap: from May to September. In those months rates are at their lowest; the rain usually comes in the late afternoon, hard and short, and afterwards the air is clean.
When to book early: for Tết, the lunar new year in January or February, when Nguyễn Huệ becomes a street of flowers, and for National Day in early September.
And whatever the date: the suitespot benefits apply in January exactly as they do in July.
How long to stay: three nights – one for District 1 with the opera hotel, the post office and the Bến Thành market, one for Chợ Lớn and the temples, and one for a trip, either to the Củ Chi tunnels or into the Mekong Delta.
That works without restriction here: at all six hotels the benefits apply from the first night.
And for collecting there are no gaps: all six hotels carry a loyalty programme, spread across 3 – Marriott Bonvoy with four hotels, plus World of Hyatt and the Leaders Club.
The Saigon river, food and exclusive services at a 5-star hotel
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Ho Chi Minh City is the early morning at the market: six o’clock, when the food stalls in the lanes around Bến Thành open, the coffee drips through the phin and the phở pots have been going for hours – long before the city turns hot.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comAdd to that: the opera hotel and the central post office, both from the French period; the Reunification Palace, where the 1975 interior still stands; the temples of Chợ Lớn with their incense spirals under the roof; and the Củ Chi tunnels an hour and a half out of town.
And the food: phở and bún bò Huế in the morning; bánh mì from a street cart, the inheritance of the baguette; the rice paper rolls you wrap yourself; and cà phê sữa đá, iced coffee with condensed milk, without which no afternoon passes here.
With breakfast the city is clear-cut: it is included for two at all six hotels – at The Reverie Saigon in the restaurant Café Cardinal.
On top come the upgrade chance and late check-out. A hotel credit of 100 US dollars comes at the Park Hyatt Saigon and at the Sheraton Grand Opera Hotel Saigon, there for food and drink.
