Mia Saigon

 

This lavish, newly-built mansion, in the French colonial style mixes modern Asian luxury with faux-Indochine charm. The huge pool is one of Vietnam’s best (from afar it seems to merge with the river), the views from all the rooms – out over the Saigon River towards the serrated city skyline are wonderful and the décor effortlessly stylish. It’s blissfully quiet too and the hotel ticks the green boxes – there is a plastic free policy, solar power throughout and all the furniture is handmade by Vietnamese craftsmen. There are suites of rooms for families and a great restaurant and bar – decorated in Saigon golden era style. The only drawback? It’s twenty-minute cab ride to the city centre.

Rooms & Accommodation

The Mia Saigon Luxury Boutique Hotel features 35 elegant rooms and 18 lavish suites, each defined by a jewel-inspired palette and sophisticated French Indochina-inspired design. Every accommodation is thoughtfully equipped with a private balcony offering mesmerizing, serene views of the Saigon River. The experience is elevated by personalized touches, such as monogrammed pillows and tailored service, creating a tranquil “home away from home” that balances understated luxury with the calming beauty of nature.
