Top 10 Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City
From the Italian-designed towers of The Reverie Saigon to the sky-high views of Landmark 81, our picks for the best-reviewed hotels in Ho Chi Minh City — with direct booking links to Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com and Expedia.
Top 10 Hotels in Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City's hotel scene runs from French-colonial landmarks that have hosted war correspondents and diplomats since the 1920s to sky-high modern towers with infinity pools 50 floors up. Rather than another generic price-sorted list, we pulled real guest review data across thousands of verified stays and picked ten hotels that consistently earn the highest satisfaction scores, spread across the neighborhoods that actually matter: District 1 for the Opera House, Dong Khoi shopping street and the Saigon River waterfront, Binh Thanh for the Landmark 81 skyline views, and the airport corridor for anyone with an early flight or a short layover.
Every hotel below is reviewed individually with direct links to check current rates and book on Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com and Expedia, so you can compare pricing across platforms rather than committing to whichever one a search engine happened to show first. We've deliberately avoided a single 'best overall' crown, since the right hotel here depends on whether you want colonial-era atmosphere, a rooftop view of the tallest building in Vietnam, or simply a reliable bed near the airport. Read the notes for each one before booking, not just the star rating.

1. The Reverie Saigon
The highest-rated hotel on this list at 9.6 out of 10 across more than a thousand verified reviews, The Reverie Saigon sits on Nguyen Hue Boulevard in the heart of District 1, occupying the upper floors of the Times Square Building. Every room and public space was custom-designed by Italian luxury brands including Visionnaire and Giorgetti, with Swarovski crystal fittings and mother-of-pearl accents that make the interiors feel closer to a private palace than a hotel. The rooftop infinity pool and the in-house Chinese restaurant, The Royal Pavilion, are consistently the two things guests mention first. It's Vietnam's only property in the Leading Hotels of the World collection. Check current rates on Booking.com to see availability for the Reverie Suites, which book out first.

Check Rates & Book →2. Park Hyatt Saigon
Hyatt's flagship Vietnam property, Park Hyatt Saigon faces the Saigon Opera House across Lam Son Square and carries off a French colonial look, shuttered windows, courtyard gardens, wraparound verandas, without feeling like a theme. Rooms come with a genuinely useful mix of modern extras: a 48-inch TV, a Bose Bluetooth speaker, a Nespresso machine and round-the-clock butler service, alongside a soaking tub and separate rainshower in the bathroom. The Square One restaurant and the 2 Lam Son rooftop bar are both destinations in their own right, and the hotel earned a Michelin recognition in 2025. Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Reunification Palace are both an easy walk away. Check current rates on Agoda for the best flexible-rate options.

Check Rates & Book →3. Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection
The highest guest score on this entire list at 9.8 out of 10, Vinpearl Landmark 81 occupies floors 49 and up of the tallest building in Vietnam, so every one of its 223 rooms comes with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view most hotels can't match at any price. Horizon Spa & Wellness sits on the 47th floor with an infinity pool that claims to be the highest in Saigon, and the Oriental Pearl restaurant on the 66th floor serves Vietnamese and international dishes with the entire city spread out below. The hotel is directly connected to Vinhomes Central Park and the Landmark 81 shopping mall, in the Binh Thanh district just across the river from central District 1. Check current rates on Trip.com for rooms on the higher, view-facing floors.

Check Rates & Book →4. Lotte Hotel Saigon
Lotte Hotel Saigon sits directly on the Saigon River in District 1, and the river or city views from its oversized windows are the first thing most reviewers mention. All 283 rooms are decorated in calm neutral tones with a proper sitting area, and the bathrooms include washlet toilets, a small but appreciated detail for a lot of international guests. The hotel runs five separate dining venues along with a large outdoor pool, sauna and fitness center, and it's an easy walk to Saigon Centre and Diamond Plaza for shopping. At a 9.4 guest score and generally lower nightly rates than the other riverside five-stars on this list, it's one of the better value-for-luxury picks in the city. Check current rates on Booking.com for river-view rooms specifically.

Check Rates & Book →5. Caravelle Saigon
Open since Christmas Eve 1959, Caravelle Saigon has a claim to history that few hotels anywhere can match, journalists covering the war filed dispatches from its rooftop bar, and the building itself sits on Lam Son Square directly across from the Opera House. The 335 rooms lean more contemporary than the lobby's old-world marble and brass suggests, and the hotel has invested seriously in its eco-friendly credentials without losing the polish. Guests get an outdoor pool, a rooftop terrace with sweeping city views, a full-service spa and a genuinely useful conference center for anyone traveling on business. Dong Khoi Street, Notre-Dame Cathedral and Ben Thanh Market are all within easy walking distance. Check current rates on Agoda to compare room categories.

Check Rates & Book →6. Hotel Majestic Saigon
Built in 1925 by local businessman Hui Bon Hoa in French Colonial and Riviera styles, Hotel Majestic Saigon has been one of the city's most recognizable landmarks for a century, and it still overlooks the Saigon River from the top of Dong Khoi Street. The 175 rooms and suites keep full marble bathrooms and private balconies, and the rooftop skybar remains one of the best sunset spots in District 1. Areca Health Club handles the spa and gym side of things, and Cyclo Cafe and Serenade Restaurant cover Vietnamese and European dining respectively. It's a five-minute walk from the Opera House and Ho Chi Minh City Hall, and consistently the most historically atmospheric option on this list. Check current rates on Trip.com for river-facing rooms in the older wing.

Check Rates & Book →7. Mai House Saigon Hotel
With a 9.6 guest score built on more than 2,300 verified reviews, more than any other hotel on this list, Mai House Saigon Hotel has quietly become one of the city's most consistently well-reviewed stays. The marble floors and French colonial architecture give it a serene, almost residential feel rather than a typical big-hotel lobby, and every suite includes its own kitchenette alongside premium bedding and a stocked minibar. The rooftop bar has genuinely good city views, and the outdoor pool and full-service spa round out the amenities. It sits in District 3, a five-minute walk from the War Remnants Museum and an eight-minute walk from Independence Palace. Check current rates on Booking.com to see suite availability.

Check Rates & Book →8. Sedona Suites Ho Chi Minh City
Tied for the highest guest score on this list at 9.8, Sedona Suites Ho Chi Minh City is an all-suite property on Le Loi Boulevard, right next to Saigon Centre and Takashimaya. Every unit is a genuine floor-to-ceiling-window apartment with a full kitchen and a separate living room, which makes it a favorite for longer stays and for families who want more space than a standard hotel room without giving up the pool, sauna and 24-hour front desk. The Straits Kitchen & Bar handles Asian dining on site, and Ben Thanh Market is a five-minute walk. It's a genuinely different category of stay from the historic five-stars nearby, and reviewers consistently rate the space and value highly. Check current rates on Expedia for a one- or two-bedroom suite.

Check Rates & Book →9. Holiday Inn & Suites Saigon Airport by IHG
For anyone with a late arrival, an early departure, or a short layover, Holiday Inn & Suites Saigon Airport by IHG earns a 9.8 guest score, the joint-highest on this list, largely on the strength of its free roundtrip airport shuttle and genuinely comfortable rooms that outperform what you'd expect from an airport hotel. The MANJA MANJA restaurant covers breakfast through dinner, and there's a proper outdoor pool, 24-hour gym and quiet library on site, not just a functional lobby and vending machines. It sits about 0.6 miles from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, with Giac Lam Pagoda and the War Remnants Museum both reachable within a few miles if you have time to spare before a flight. Check current rates on Booking.com and confirm the shuttle schedule matches your flight.

Check Rates & Book →10. Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel
The best value pick on this list, Liberty Central Saigon Riverside Hotel earns a strong 9.0 guest score from more than 2,100 verified reviews while running noticeably cheaper than every other hotel here. Rooms are modern and simply furnished with city or river views and free Wi-Fi, and the Vertical Sky Bar on the 25th floor, next to the rooftop pool, has one of the better sunset views in the city for the price. It's centrally located in District 1, under half a mile from Ben Thanh Market and about a 15-minute walk from the Opera House. For travelers who want a genuinely central base without paying five-star riverside rates, this is the easiest recommendation on the list. Check current rates on Agoda for river-view rooms specifically.

Check Rates & Book →A note on prices: every rate shown above is indicative and pulled at a single point in time, Ho Chi Minh City hotel pricing shifts constantly with season, day of week, and how far ahead you book. Use the price shown here as a rough guide to relative positioning between these ten hotels, not as a quote, and always check the live rate on the booking links before deciding. Some of the links on this page are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. This never affects which hotels we choose to include or how we describe them.
Frequently Asked Questions
District 1 covers almost everything a first-time visitor wants, the Opera House, Dong Khoi shopping street, Ben Thanh Market and the Saigon River waterfront are all within walking distance of most hotels there. Binh Thanh, across the river, is worth considering if you specifically want the Landmark 81 skyline view.
Prices vary by platform and change daily, sometimes significantly. We link to all four for every hotel on this list specifically so you can compare before booking rather than assuming any one platform is always cheapest.
For the hotels on this list, especially the higher-rated ones, booking 3-6 weeks ahead is a safe minimum. Around Tet (Vietnamese New Year, usually late January or February) or major holidays, book several months ahead.
Yes, the list is pulled from live review data rather than fixed in place, so rankings and prices can shift as new reviews come in and rates change.
