Le Méridien is a comfortable, design-minded hotel for discerning travellers. It is conveniently close to the city’s attractions, which are just a short drive (or 20-minute walk) away; the hotel’s five chic bars and restaurants will certainly tempt guests into lingering a little longer.
Location
Le Meridien Saigon is situated along a bank of the Saigon River, in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1 – which means it’s really central to the business district and close to many tourist attractions in the city. It’ll take about 15 minutes to walk to the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral, Ben Thanh Market, Opera House and the Reunification Palace, as well as malls like Takashimaya and the Vincom Centre.
Style and Character
The hotel celebrates art and local artists, which gives it a boutiquey feel, despite the large number of rooms. At the waiting area for each lift, artists have created their impressions of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) so every floor offers a different, creative view of the city. Almost every room offers a real-time view of the city too, because the glass-enclosed hotel is currently the tallest building in the area.
On entering the hotel guests are welcomed by a vast, two-storey space that’s dominated by silver columns, a marble floor and a chandelier of thousands of glass bubbles that floats from the ceiling; quirky accents like the red high-backed chairs in the lobby are peppered throughout the hotel. Overall, think sleek and contemporary, with a funky twist.
Service and Facilities
A stylish and comfortable hotel for leisure travellers, with a wonderful ocean-themed spa that offers treatments designed to restore balance to the body. The signature offering is a four-hand massage, where the experience is enhanced by music, lights and aromatherapy oils. There is also an indoor swimming pool and a small, well-equipped fitness centre. The hotel’s business centre has a range of office amenities, and there are six venues that range from ballrooms to boardrooms, all of which have the latest audio-visual technology. There are five restaurants on the property, and the Club Lounge has a very comfortable meeting area and library, and offers teas, cocktails and canapés at different times in the day.

Rooms
The standard rooms follow a palette of mostly greys and whites, and have a modern design element to them. The wall behind the bed is a graphic representation of the layout of HCMC, with the hotel’s location noted along the river. The custom-designed carpet picks up on some elements from this artwork, as does a masala-coloured reclining couch. There are ample plug sockets in the rooms – perfect for those travelling with many gadgets – as well as a comfortably large desk space. The bathroom is separated from the room by a glass wall (with blinds). It features a large bath tub as well as a rain shower.
Food and Drink
There are five dining options at Le Meridien. Latest Recipe is where the buffet breakfast is served – choices here are vast, and include everything from croissants and fresh breads to eggs (any style), hash browns, cheese platters, pho and sushi. Bamboo Chic is a contemporary fusion restaurant, offering a mix of Cantonese and Japanese cuisine (and gorgeous views across the city); Latitude 10 is a daytime coffee bar, night-time cocktail bar. Explore Bistro, located at the pool near the spa, offers healthy and detoxing food and drinks. There’s also a grab-and-go coffee shop and bakery.
