Opened in 1925 on the curve of the Saigon River, Hotel Majestic Saigon is a grand dame of the city: white-shuttered windows, wrought-iron balconies and marble-flecked lobbies that echo the romance of old Indochina. Step inside from Đồng Khởi Street and the pace softens - ceiling fans turn lazily, polished timber glows under soft light, and fresh flowers scent the air. It’s a heritage stay with genuine sense of place, perfectly suited to travellers who appreciate history without sacrificing comfort.
Rooms retain classic character - parquet floors, period furnishings, tall windows and generous bathrooms with separate tubs and showers - balanced by modern touches such as efficient air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibars and kettles. Many rooms feature petite balconies; river-facing categories are worth the premium for sunrise over the water. The Colonial Deluxe and Colonial Pool rooms suit shorter stays, while the suites add living space and larger terraces for evening drinks.
Dining is a pleasure, starting with breakfast on the breezy rooftop where the river unwraps below. All-day venues serve a mix of Vietnamese staples and international favourites — think fragrant phở, fresh tropical fruit and well-executed Western classics - while the signature rooftop bar pours cocktails with glittering skyline views. Downstairs, a café-bar provides a quiet corner for coffee and a light bite between outings.
Location is superb for District 1: moments from the riverside promenade and an easy stroll to the Saigon Opera House, Nguyen Hue Walking Street and the boutiques of Đồng Khởi. Ben Thanh Market and the Independence Palace are a short taxi away, and the hotel’s frontage makes pick-ups for tours and transfers straightforward.
Leisure facilities include a sheltered outdoor pool ringed by greenery, a small but capable fitness room and a spa offering Vietnamese therapies - ideal after a day in the heat. Concierge staff can arrange dining reservations, AO Show tickets and private guides to the city’s key sights.
Reviews consistently praise the old-world atmosphere, warm service, rooftop outlook and central address. Some note that heritage rooms can feel traditional rather than flashy - part of the charm for most, but worth bearing in mind if you prefer a contemporary aesthetic.
Bottom Line: A storied riverside icon with unmistakable Saigon soul - classic rooms, rooftop views and a prime District 1 address make Hotel Majestic a refined base for exploring the city.
