Dry season has hit Ho Chi Minh City, which means there’s no better time to jet-set to Saigon. Here’s where to hit the hay after a full day of exploration:
The Reverie Saigon
Extraordinarily OTT, nouveau-riche digs replete with luminous pool and lavish spa teetering high above the city. Super spacious rooms, richly furnished with marble, velvet and gold-leaf. Fine Chinese and dim sum at glitzy The Royal Pavilion, opulent R&J for regional Italian fare and streetside imbiber The Long.
The Myst
This futuristic vertical tree house might scream new-world, but inside, antique dark timber furny, vintage telephones and local handicrafts pay homage to old Saigon. Most rooms offer spectacular vistas from flora-tousled private balconettes (dubbed “hanging gardens”), some with stone tubs. Spy HCMC’s electric cityscape from loungey rooftop sipper Bar Bleu or the sky-high infinity dipper.
Villa Sông
Book a four-poster suite to up the romance factor at this cute riverside charmer with 23 individual dens and verdant alfrisky deck. Board the house skiff for snappy gratis nip into town, or loiter with locals and expats in up n’ coming D.2.
