The 244-room Park Hyatt Saigon hotel is centrally located in Lam Son Square, near the elegant Opera House in downtown Saigon and within walking distance to shopping, entertainment and key attractions. The location really couldn’t be more central.
First impressions of the Park Hyatt are great with a large lobby receiving lots of natural light.
Rooms are equally bright and spacious and all come with Wi-Fi, flat screen TV’s and rain shower equipped bathrooms.
The large swimming pool is a real bonus in a city where not every large hotel has a swimming pool.
By some way, the Park Hyatt is Saigon’s most elegant and refined hotel. The central location overlooking Opera Square is perfect. Dinner on the terrace overlooking the Opera House is highly recommended.
The Park Hyatt, despite being a larger hotel manages to maintain quite a personal feel to it, elegant and refined.
The Park Hyatt isn’t by any means boutique but it’s by far the most elegant and sophisticated hotel in Saigon, so naturally we love it!
