Park Hyatt Saigon sits on Lam Son Square, in the middle of the most polished part of District 1, and it has long been the address for travellers who want refined luxury within walking distance of everything. The Hyatt website lists 245 rooms, including 23 suites, along with a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and nine restaurants and bars. One of them is the Park Hyatt Terrace, a climate-controlled outdoor venue serving Italian-style small plates and cocktails. The setting is the real draw. The Saigon Opera House is a quick walk away, Dong Khoi Street’s luxury shops are close by, the Central Post Office is about 0.3 miles away and Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica about 0.35 miles. For a splurge in the city, it offers calm and service in a part of town that is anything but calm.
Location and getting around: the hotel faces Lam Son Square, and almost every first-time sight is reachable on foot. The Opera House, Dong Khoi and the Nguyen Hue walking street are steps away, the Notre-Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office are a ten-minute stroll, and Ben Thanh Market is a short taxi ride. The Independence Palace and the War Remnants Museum are a short ride by car. Ride-hailing cars are easy to find at the door, and the airport is roughly thirty minutes by road depending on traffic.
The rooms: rooms and suites are spacious and quiet, with the hotel’s own guest reviews praising the decor, the dining and the peaceful rooms. Higher categories add more space and views over the square or the city. If you enjoy a wall of glass and a soaking tub, ask for a higher floor.
Who it suits: couples marking an occasion, business travellers and anyone who wants the best-located luxury base in the city. Families are welcome, and the pool and the pool house give space to relax between sightseeing trips.
Good to know: the hotel offers digital check-in and key, room service, a concierge, laundry and self parking. The concierge can book cooking classes, Cu Chi and Mekong day trips and drivers, which saves you the work. Check the current rate type for breakfast, since inclusions vary.
