Hotel des Arts Saigon MGallery is one of Saigon’s most stylish boutique-luxe hotels, blending French colonial-inspired elegance with a sleek, modern edge. Set just outside the busiest part of District 1, it feels calmer than the big intersection hotels, but you’re still close to the city’s headline sights and great dining.
The atmosphere is all polished glamour, with a lovely sense of occasion from the moment you walk in. Think curated art, rich textures, soft lighting, and a grown-up feel that suits couples and travellers who enjoy a hotel that’s as much part of the experience as the city outside.
Rooms are beautifully finished, with excellent bedding, strong air-conditioning, quality bathrooms, and a design that feels cohesive and considered. Higher floors bring better light and bigger city views, and soundproofing is generally strong for a central Saigon stay.
If you’re choosing a standout category, prioritise a high-floor room with a city view, or step up to a suite if you like a separate lounge area. For special occasions, the top-tier rooms deliver a real sense of space and that “this is a treat” feeling.
Dining is a highlight, with a strong breakfast and well-regarded restaurants that make it tempting to stay in for at least one meal. The hotel’s rooftop scene is also a draw, with the Social Club Rooftop Bar and its infinity pool creating a memorable late-afternoon and evening spot above the city.
Location works well for sightseeing without being right on top of the busiest pedestrian flow. You can easily reach the War Remnants Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral (noting ongoing restoration at times), the Central Post Office, and Dong Khoi Street, with taxis making anything further afield quick and simple.
Facilities are excellent for a city break, with the rooftop pool, a solid gym, and a spa that’s ideal for a reset after a hot Saigon day. It’s a hotel that makes downtime feel genuinely enjoyable rather than an afterthought.
Reviews consistently praise the design, the rooftop ambience, and the service, with many guests calling out how well the hotel balances character and comfort. A few mention that rooms can be on the cosier side compared with big international chains, but most feel the style and overall experience more than make up for it.
Bottom Line: Hotel des Arts Saigon is a chic, character-rich choice with standout dining and a brilliant rooftop, perfect for travellers who want Saigon with a touch of old-world elegance and modern polish.

Former Tatler Hotel of the year, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay set new standards for luxury accommodation in Vietnam.
Accessible only by boat, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay enjoys a unique setting on dramatic Ninh Van Bay.
Innovative and spacious villas overlook curious rock formations and a stunning white sand beach, all with the backdrop of towering mountains.
Villas are tree-house, rustic style. Many have outstanding views - some are perched on the rocks by the water - all maintain a feeling of secluded, homely beach-house luxury.
There is a variety of dining outlets at the resort, the most sumptuous of which is Dining by the Rocks up on the hillside.
The sea-front location is really spectacular and we love the Water Villas, which have a quite unique location.
Six Senses is focused on privacy - so the villas are secluded and private - so much so that you'll rarely see other guests other than in the public areas.
