The 17-storey Legend overlooks the Saigon River, within reasonable walking distance from Dong Khoi Street, the Opera House, and the other attractions of District 1, the main commercial and tourist area of Ho Chi Minh City. Externally, the architecture is uninspiring, but the lobby and reception area is impressively grand with liberal use of marble.
The historic Caravelle is located at the top of the famous Rue Catinat, now called Dong Khoi Street, and overlooks Saigon's Opera House and the river. The original hotel was built in 1956 at a time when architecture was at its nadir after WWII - an unimpressive 10-storey rectangular block with a rounded corner
The 23-storey Saigon Sheraton opened in 2003 and has set a new benchmark in luxury.From the moment you walk through the entrance doors into the impressive lobby and reception area, the class is obvious. The whole building has an air of lightness and understated opulence. It's far from cheap, but the extent of the hotel's facilities it's and attention to detail, it's value for money.
Opening in 2005, the first Park Hyatt in Vietnam is a worthy member of the small group of Vietnam hotels that can truly be described as 'luxurious'. It's located on Ho Chi Minh City's Lam Son Square, overlooking the Opera House and rubbing shoulders with the long established Caravelle and the swish Sheraton.
