Best Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City (2026)

District 1 is the best area to stay in Ho Chi Minh City for most visitors, with the main landmarks, restaurants and rooftop bars within walking distance. Around Lam Son Square and the Opera House, Park Hyatt Saigon and the Caravelle Saigon offer luxury in the centre of the colonial district, and The Reverie Saigon, between Nguyen Hue and Dong Khoi, is an opulent choice, with a Michelin-starred restaurant.

History lovers have two famous options: the Hotel Majestic Saigon, which opened in 1925 at the river end of Dong Khoi Street, and the Rex Hotel, a 1920s car showroom turned hotel that hosted the wartime press briefings known as the Five O'Clock Follies. For a boutique stay, Hotel des Arts Saigon MGallery brings 1930s Indochine style and an art collection, and The Myst Dong Khoi offers heritage-inspired design a short walk from the river. Hotel Nikko Saigon, with its service apartments, suits families and longer stays. Book early for Tet and weekends, check whether taxes and breakfast are included, and ask for a quiet, high room if traffic noise worries you.
