The Reverie Saigon Hotel

The Reverie Saigon Hotel sits in central Ho Chi Minh City, within walking distance of Cafe Apartment, the post office, and the cathedral. It holds Michelin one-star Royal Pavilion and Cafe Cardinal on the sixth floor, and breakfast is chosen between Vietnamese and Western options. Rooms on the 34th floor look out over both the river and the city, and the pool has a warm jacuzzi and underwater music. A damp smell from the marble interior is a drawback.
