Park Hyatt Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Sweeping up to Park Hyatt Saigon is like travelling back in time, its colonnaded entrance and majestic facade belying the fact it only opened in 2005. For this is a hotel that channels nostalgia, its detailing designed to reflect Ho Chi Minh City’s French colonial past. Downstairs, guests sit beneath crystal chandeliers to take afternoon tea in the grand lounge or order icy martinis in the 2 Lam Son bar as the DJ spins a little jazz. Cuisine covers all tastes, from French-Vietnamese at signature restaurant Square One to bold Italian flavours in the trattoria-style Opera. The sweet-toothed will be drawn to the Pastry Boutique and the chocolaterie; seekers of zen will beeline for the serene Xuan Spa. The 245 rooms – spacious even at entry level – have also been designed to echo the city’s heritage, with slatted shutters, antiques, lacquerware and hand-stitched rugs throughout (though expect all the mod-cons – flat screens, mini iPads controlling the lights and air-con). The hotel is within walking distance of all the city’s delights such as Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, Opera House and Reunification Palace, as well as excellent retail therapy at Dong Khoi Street.
