Lotte Hotel Saigon is a large, modern hotel on the Saigon River side of District 1, on Ton Duc Thang Street. Its tall tower offers wide views of the river and the city, and its facilities are those of a full-service business and leisure hotel: restaurants, a pool, a spa and a fitness centre. For visitors who want a dependable, comfortable base with plenty of space, it is a strong choice. The riverside position gives it a different feel from the hotels in the colonial centre. You are a short walk from the Ba Son area and the riverfront, and the dinner cruise piers are close by. Dong Khoi, the Opera House and Ben Thanh Market are a short taxi ride away, and the metro station near the river can be useful for some journeys. The hotel is popular with Korean and Asian business travellers, which shapes its restaurants and services, and it also welcomes international leisure guests and families.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1, close to the river. The central sights are a short drive away, and taxis and ride-hailing cars are easy to get. The airport is about thirty to forty minutes by road, depending on traffic.
The rooms
Rooms are typically spacious by city standards, with large windows. Higher floors give river or city views, and suites offer separate living areas. If you like a view of the skyline at night, request a high floor facing the river.
Who it suits
Business travellers, families who need space, and visitors who want a modern tower hotel with a range of dining options. Couples also enjoy the river views and the proximity to the dinner cruise piers.
Good to know
Facilities generally include a pool, a fitness centre, a spa and several restaurants, including Asian cuisines. Breakfast options are usually broad, which is helpful for early departures to Cu Chi or the Mekong Delta. Check your rate for inclusions. The concierge can help with tours and cars. Because the hotel is on the riverside edge of the centre, plan a short ride for evening activities in Dong Khoi, and use the river for a sunset walk or a cruise.
Making the most of the stay
Early risers can take advantage of the breakfast spread and an early departure for Cu Chi or the Mekong Delta. In the afternoon, rest in the pool, then walk along the river at sunset when the heat drops and the skyline lights up. If you plan to use the metro, check the closest station and operating hours, and ask the front desk for a map. Families will appreciate the space, while couples may enjoy a dinner cruise from a nearby pier.
