River Cottage

Top choice in Ho Chi Minh City


Set in verdant gardens on the banks of the Saigon River, this hotel is a uniquely peaceful retreat from the energy of the city. Eight rooms – some riverside – blend modern design with handmade furniture, beds with luxe linen, wooden daybeds and expansive windows. There's all-day dining, with fine Western and local cuisine available.

It's in District 2, which has ample restaurants and bars but is around a 20-minute taxi ride from the city centre.
