Hilton, a leading global hospitality company, has marked a significant milestone with the opening of its first hotel in Vietnam's largest city, Ho Chi Minh City. Named Hilton Saigon, this new addition is part of Hilton's ongoing expansion in Asia Pacific and represents the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality experiences in key global markets.

Located in the bustling financial and residential hub of the city, Hilton Saigon not only provides easy access to cultural sites and historical landmarks but also offers impressive views of the Saigon River, encapsulating the vibrant spirit of Ho Chi Minh City. The hotel is conveniently situated just 30 minutes from the Tan Son Nhat Airport, with famous attractions like the Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral and Saigon Opera House within walking distance.

Hilton Saigon stands out with its unique design inspired by traditional Vietnamese temple architecture, integrating horizontal layers that reflect the historic neighborhood around Me Linh square. The hotel features 228 guest rooms and suites, each designed with sleek, contemporary interiors and botanical inspirations, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the essence of the locale.

Hilton’s Meet with Purpose program further enhances meetings and events, focusing on sustainability and positive community impact.

This venture combines our local insights with Hilton's global expertise, setting new standards for hospitality in Vietnam."
