Saigon – At the shoreline where traditions meet moderns
Define the city of Saigon however you wish, it will evade your perception gloriously: exclusive multiculturality; smalling shelters filled with expanding hopes and dreams; immense sunbathed flatness up-nailed by breathtaking skyscrapers along beautiful meanders; motional and visual paradoxes skirting near-perfect harmony anytime, just like its world-famous traffic.
The city has never been this gorgeous.

Concierge Recommendations
Starting to explore Saigon can be a pleasant surprise.
Amidst such chaos, people on vehicles are fluctuating like musical notes within and out of the boundless, winding staves – the dazzling streets and smaller alleys – in what appears little less than non-stop, meticulously orchestrated soundscape soaked in colours. To quote Rebecca Solnit, the city then “always contains more than any inhabitant can know, and a great city always makes the unknown and the possible spurs to the imagination.”
We make sure that you can make the most of your stay in Saigon, with memories to keep and stories to tell to others with our lists of curated spots.

Saigon Hidden Gems
“What is essential is invisible to the eye”, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s wisdom has never been so aligned with the charm of Saigon. In hidden alleys, or in a vendor that seems small and maybe a bit messy, you can find the most amazing things, if you’re willing to open up your eyes to see “the diamond in the rough”.
Once upon a time in ChinaTown
If there is a place you can call “Where time stands still” in Saigon, we would say it’s ChinaTown with its distinguish culture as well as rich heritage from hundreds of years, which still exist today among people’s daily life. If you happen to have a free morning in Saigon, let us show you some of our favorite spots in this neighborhood to experience ChinaTown’s unique beauty and flavors
Saigon After Dark
Known as “The city that never sleeps”, Saigon at night has an equally lively charm compared to its daytime version. If you happen to stumble upon a sleepless night, maybe it’s the time for you to see all the vivid colors that this city has to offer, only when the sun has come down.
