268-Room Reverie Saigon Hotel Opens

The 268-room Reverie Saigon hotel has opened in the heart of District 1 in downtown Saigon (a city also known as Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam.

Commanding the upper and lower floors of the 39-storey Times Square tower, the hotel’s 12 categories of accommodation are amongst the most spacious in the city, with its 224 rooms ranging from 43-53 square metres (462-570 square feet) and 62 suites starting at 63 square metres (678 square feet) and topping out at a palatial 313 square metres (3,369 square feet).

Beds are dressed in Frette linens at 400 and 600 thread counts while marble bathrooms come complete with amenities by Chopard in the rooms and Hermes or Acqua di Parma in the suites.

Every room features a walk-in or a walk-through closet, Cisco voIP telephones, 46 to 55-inch flat-screens TVs which sink into consoles so as not to offset the decor.

For those desiring the added privilege and convenience of having stays inclusive of daily breakfast, afternoon tea service and cocktails and canapés each evening, The Reverie Lounge occupies a total of 542 square metres (5,834 square feet) on the 38th and 39th floors.

“In a destination as exotic and far-flung as Saigon, there’s often the expectation to design a hotel that very obviously references the destination’s heritage,” said Herbert Laubichler-Pichler, the Austrian general manager. “This hotel, however, is a transcendent gesture. We’re fast-forwarding to the day when Saigon takes its rightful place as one of Asia’s leading cities, when upscale travelers will expect the very best attainable – not merely the very best in Vietnam, but the very best anywhere.”

In addition to the rooms the hotel has a variety of F&B outlets, a spa, an assortment of meeting and event space, as well as a swimming pool and fitness centre.

The hotel’s published room rates start at US$ 350 and rise to US$ 12,000 and 15,000 for its singular Saigon Suite and Reverie Suite respectively.
