Saigon, Vietnam
Where to Stay
Fabulous location, balconies with spa baths, lovely outdoor breakfast area surrounded by greenery, quirky old Saigon design elements throughout. A creative persons dream hotel in a busy city. The reception cafe and foyer is brilliant too.
I love the location, the size of the pool, the carpet and soft furnishings. It has a water filter on every level to top up your bottle, service is fantastic, breakfast wonderful, and the roof top bar has delicious snacks. A great older style (and slightly cheaper) 5 star option. Highly recommend it.
Tour Guides
I support locals, and when you go exploring a new city, take one with you! You will genuinely have a far better experience with the locals showing you around.

She is a friend of mine. I highly recommend you spend a day or two with her, she can design a program for you focussing on food and culture, behind the scenes and off the google maps.
