Why we recommend it
Hotel des Arts Saigon is a five-star boutique hotel in Accor's MGallery collection, which opened in October 2015 on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street. Its design is inspired by the 1930s era of French Indochina, with Art Deco lines throughout, and the owner's private art collection is displayed in the public spaces, which gives the hotel the character of a gallery as well as a place to stay.
The hotel's restaurants and bars are among its strongest points. Saigon Kitchen takes its inspiration from Asian street food markets, Café des Beaux-Arts serves afternoon tea with live piano music, The Albion by Kirk Westaway is on the 23rd floor, and the Social Club Rooftop Bar on the 24th floor is a small, stylish rooftop bar. There is also a spa, Le Spa des Artistes.
The hotel is in central Ho Chi Minh City, near Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Opera House, and about 20 minutes from Tan Son Nhat airport, according to the hotel. It suits couples, design lovers and travellers who prefer the character of a boutique hotel to the scale of a big international chain, while still enjoying five-star service.
For non-residents, afternoon tea at Café des Beaux-Arts or a sunset drink at the Social Club Rooftop Bar are good ways to see the hotel and its art collection. Guests interested in art will enjoy walking through the public spaces, where the owner's collection is on show, and the hotel's position makes it easy to visit the War Remnants Museum, which is in the same ward.
A few practical points apply to most hotels in central Ho Chi Minh City. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is about 7 kilometres from the centre, and taxis, ride-hailing cars and city buses all make the trip; many hotels can also arrange a car on request. Rooms facing busy streets can be noisy, so ask for a higher floor or a quieter side if you are a light sleeper. Rates rise around Tet, the lunar new year, and at weekends, so book early for those dates, and check whether breakfast, taxes and service charges are included in the price you are quoted.
