Park Hyatt Saigon, Luxury Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City

Monica Tindall

Ask a local what is the best hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and without hesitation, Park Hyatt Saigon is at the top of the list. The sophisticated French colonial-style property offers elegance in design and modernity in comforts. Located in the heart of District 1, next to the Opera House and major shopping and lifestyle streets, the hotel is an icon in the city.

Rooms at Park Hyatt Saigon

Maintaining old-world charm by no means signifies a walk back in time. Benefitting from recent refurbishments, the Park Hyatt Saigon is in tip-top form matching classical refinement to contemporary travellers.

Tasteful heritage rooms combine graceful interior design with the latest in technology. Upholstered headboards with wooden trimming frame the king-size bed covered in white. Tall windows shaded by white shutters overlook the central courtyard and floral-print carpet overlays polished wooden floorboards. Vietnamese artworks are thoughtfully placed giving the feeling of a home rather than a hotel room.

Individually controlled air-conditioning and a ceiling fan are much appreciated (I’ve spent too many hours chilled to the bone in hotel rooms with central air-con). Quality sound system, TV, espresso machine and mini I-pad further increase the comfort level along with lush bath products and a daily fruit basket. The bathroom makes good use of a compact space and does well to include both a rain shower and separate bathtub. Anything else I need is at the touch of a button and each time I make a special request someone has attended to my room within minutes.

The third floor is literally an oasis of green. Home to the hotel’s spa, fitness room and pool, relaxation in whatever your desired form is found here. The recently renovated pool is entered via a garden of tropical trees, shrubs and flowers, with garden chairs and tables placed in the shade offering quiet sanctuary.

Being an early riser, I’m always grateful for a fitness Centre that can be accessed 24 hours and Park Hyatt Saigon’s facilities are not only accessible 24-7 but also roundly furnished with an extensive range of cardio machines, free weights and strength equipment. Kettle balls, mats and so on ensure variety in our workouts and no excuses for not burning off the daily dose of pho and bánh mì we’ve been enthusiastically indulging in. Water, towels, fruit and headphones are all at the ready and the screens on the treadmills and other electronic trainers are fully functioning. Along with uninterrupted connection to international channels, they are also connected to the Internet and all of its features such as email and YouTube.
