Hotel Indigo Saigon The City
Ba Son and Ly Tu Trong Street, Saigon Ward; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Hotel Indigo Saigon The City looks to Ba Son's shipyard history and the everyday texture of Saigon for its design language. References to local lanes, domestic interiors and the cyclo appear throughout a contemporary boutique setting, giving the hotel a clear relationship with its neighbourhood. The Ly Tu Trong address is close to Little Japan Town and the Ba Son Bridge, making it useful for visitors interested in the city's changing food and social scene as well as its familiar landmarks. Rooms and suites continue the local storytelling without dispensing with modern comforts. Vietnamese-inspired dining and a rooftop pool add reasons to linger, with views towards the river and city giving the upper levels a different mood from the streets below. A fitness centre rounds out the practical facilities. The appeal is strongest for travellers who want a centrally placed hotel with a fresh identity and an emphasis on exploring the neighbourhood immediately around it.
