Why we recommend it
The Hotel Majestic Saigon is one of the oldest hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. It opened in 1925 at 01 Dong Khoi Street, and a century later it still presents itself as a heritage hotel and one of the city's best-known landmarks, combining its history with modern five-star comfort. Its position, with views over the Saigon River, is one of the main reasons to stay.
The hotel has 175 rooms and suites, and the hotel highlights rooms with full marble bathrooms and private balconies. Facilities include a swimming pool with complimentary poolside refreshments. For food and drink there is the rooftop M Bar, with river views and live local musicians, the Catinat Lounge with piano music, the Breeze Sky Bar Café, a seafood barbecue buffet and the Saigon House Restaurant for Vietnamese cuisine.
The Majestic suits travellers who enjoy historic hotels and a sense of continuity, as well as couples and older visitors who value character over the latest design. It is also a good choice if you want to be able to walk along the river or take an evening drink on the roof without going far.
Having opened in 1925, the hotel passed its hundredth year in 2025, and the combination of a heritage building, a pool and a rooftop bar with river views is hard to match. Ask for a river-view room if the outlook matters to you, since that is the Majestic's great asset. Non-residents can enjoy the hotel too, with a drink at M Bar or a Vietnamese meal at Saigon House.
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.
