Hilton has announced the opening of Hilton Saigon in the vibrant financial and residential hub of Ho Chi Minh City.
This marks the debut of its award-winning flagship brand — and first hotel — in the city. A centrepiece in the heart of the metropolis with impressive views, Hilton Saigon embodies the essence of the locality, powered by a passion for service and hospitality.
“Vietnam is charting dynamic growth and fast establishing itself as a leading travel destination in Asia. With the opening of Hilton Saigon, we mark Hilton’s highly anticipated entry into the gateway city of Ho Chi Minh City, and are well on course to surpassing 1,000 trading hotels in Asia Pacific by next year,” said Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton.
Located just 30 minutes away from the Tan Son Nhat Airport, the hotel is surrounded by famous cultural sites and historical landmarks. Guests can explore the city’s charming heritage buildings such as the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, the Saigon Central Post Office, and the Saigon Opera House, all within walking distance from the hotel. Beyond the neighbourhood, travelers can embark on authentic local excursions such as a picturesque tour of the Mekong Delta, an exciting exploration of the 200-kilometer Cu Chi Tunnel, or a scenic sunset cruise along the Saigon River.
“We are thrilled to partner with Hilton to introduce Hilton Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City. With our deep understanding of the local market and Hilton’s long-standing expertise and legacy, we are confident that Hilton Saigon will set a new precedent in Vietnam’s hospitality landscape,” said Phan Quang Chat, chairman of board of directors, Unity Investment Corporation.
Thoughtful design with an urban pulse
Hilton Saigon pays homage to Ho Chi Minh City through the seamless integration of the city’s heritage and culture into its design and architecture, creating an environment that balances serenity and vibrancy for its guests. Inspired by horizontal layers represented in traditional Vietnamese temple typology, Hilton Saigon is designed in visual harmony with the historic neighbourhood of Me Linh square. Featuring a contemporary yet timeless silhouette, Hilton Saigon will serve as an architectural landmark in the cityscape.
Destination dining in the centre of the city
“As a city celebrated for its rich heritage, culture, and culinary delights, Ho Chi Minh City blends the buzz of a big city with the warmth of the local culture, creating a distinct allure for global travelers,” stated Alexandra Jaritz, senior vice president, brand management, Asia Pacific, Hilton. “We are thrilled to put our guests at the centre of this dynamic destination, inspiring them to connect and discover the best of the city, complemented by Hilton’s signature hospitality and its promise to deliver reliable and friendly stays.”
Hilton Saigon joins a portfolio of 14 trading and pipeline Hilton hotels in Vietnam. In December 2023, Hilton also welcomed La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton, which marked the lifestyle brand’s entry into Vietnam.
