Hotel Des Arts Saigon Mgallery in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City is a hotel you definitely want to stay at during your trip through Vietnam A luxury hotel in District 3 where you can try out many cozy restaurants and enjoy street food, but also discover a wealth of history. The hotel is about a 400-meter walk from Notre Dame Cathedral, one of Saigon's highlights. Anyway, back to the hotel. When the doors open, you'll be amazed. Hotel Des Arts Saigon Mgallery takes you back in time to the 30s, the romantic era of that era, to be precise. The interior of this 5-star boutique hotel in Saigon is classic and timeless, exuding the charm of the "Indochine Française." Trust us, you'll feel like a princess as you walk through the hotel. The hotel also received the 2017 World Luxury Hotel Awards, an award for its exceptional guest experience, world-class accommodations, and luxurious offerings.
Fun fact: inside you can view the owner's personal collection of paintings and antiques that hang on almost every wall and in the hall.

The rooms are bright and exude a unique sense of luxury, as if you're living in French colonial Saigon. The furniture (custom-made by Vietnamese artisans) and artwork on the walls give the room an authentic feel, while the white bedding and wooden floors add a warm yet fresh touch. Don't miss the large window with a view, and especially the ceiling—how special is that?!


On top of the roof of the Hotel Des Arts Saigon Mgallery In Ho Chi Minh City, you'll find not only a stunning rooftop pool, but also the city's highest. Take a dip during the day and escape the chaos of the city center for a moment. In the evening, head to the Social Club Rooftop Bar next to the pool. When the sun sets, the DJ spins his tunes, cocktails are shaken, and dancing is a common occurrence. Naturally, we wanted to take in the breathtaking view and try out the cocktails. Besides a cocktail, we ordered a few bites: bao buns, tuna tartare, and, of course, fried squid. Be aware: you'll have to wait for a table; it gets very busy here, as you don't necessarily need to stay at the hotel to enjoy the view.
Inside, on this floor, you'll find the Social Club Restaurant, a place to admire the Saigon skyline through glass and enjoy a bite to eat. Here you'll find fresh, seasonal dishes inspired by European favorites.
