Caravelle Hotel Ho Chi Minh - One of the Top 100 Luxury Hotels in the World

The Caravelle Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, has been called out by The Robb Report, a prestigious American magazine, as one of the top 100 luxury hotels in the world, the only hotel thus recognized in Vietnam.

The publication of Robb Report Luxury Hotels culminates a yearlong effort by The Robb Report’s editorial staff members, who identified the best properties in each of nearly 100 cities worldwide. Spanning 42 countries on six continents, the collection of exclusive properties showcased in Robb Report Luxury Hotels ranges from historic grand dames in Europe to contemporary boutiques in Asia. But each hotel, according to Editor Bruce Wallin, shares at least one common trait: the ability to convey the absolute best of its respective city. In addition to exceptional locations, these hotels have staffs that are not only highly focused on guest service, but are also thoroughly knowledgeable about everything that makes their city great.

The Caravelle's General Manager Guido A. J. Gyde said, “We are very pleased with the recognition of this highly regarded publication. The Robb Report Luxury Hotels has a lot of discerning followers whom we are looking forward to welcoming.”

The Caravelle stands at 19 Lam Son Square, across from the Municipal Theater, in the legendary heart of the city. The hotel opened in 1959, boasting a suite of amenities never before seen in Saigon, including bulletproof glass, a Berliet generator and Trane air conditioners (a first for any hotel in the city). In 1998, after more than two decades of operation on a shoestring budget, the aging landmark was resuscitated with a complete renovation and a complementary, 24-storey tower. With 38.5 sqm room size and panorama views of Saigon River and Ho Chi Minh City, five restaurants and bars – among them the city’s infamous roof top bar, Saigon Saigon Bar, renowned for its personalized service, Caravelle Hotel has received many prestigious local and international awards.
