Intercontinental Asiana Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City


One of the city's premier addresses, the Intercontintental is modern and tasteful without falling into generic blandness. Rooms have a dash of design class, including Eames-style chairs and sculpted freestanding baths, and many enjoy supreme views. A neighbouring tower of apartment-style residences caters to longer stays.
