Park Hyatt Saigon

A 245-room urban resort with a colonial feel on Lam Son Square.

A bland business hotel (note the DJ performances in the martini bar).

Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, Park Hyatt Saigon has perfected a multitude of ways to pamper you, from the attendants proffering cocktails and mineral water at the garden-shrouded, 66-foot pool, to the spa, where local fruits and herbs await to soothe even the most horrendous jet lag. We love that the 245 recently-redone French Colonial–style guest rooms are fitted with loaner mini iPads, lights on sensors and Nespresso machines to perk you up at any hour (book a suite for original lacquerware and embroidery by Vietnamese artists, not to mention a roomy living room). Contact the Hyatt E-Concierge before arrival to arrange any flight of fancy—from your pillow of choice to reservations at Lan Anh tennis courts.

Service can’t be beat. Yep, there are 24-hour butlers. And yep, they’ll shine your shoes gratis.

The mark of any good getaway is returning home a few pounds heavier, and thanks to award-winning pastry chef Narae at The Pastry Boutique—where French religieuses are just as cloud-fluffy as the ones you wolfed down in Paris—you can bet on it.
