If you’re planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), and are wondering where you should stay, we’ve got you covered with the best hotels in Saigon! We absolutely love this big, bustling city and have been lucky enough to stay in various hotels and neighborhoods during our many trips. But Saigon is quite large, with different numbered districts, so figuring out which neighborhood is best can be daunting.
District 1 is the most popular place for visitors to stay as it is the heart of the city. Here you’ll find loads of restaurants and bars, as well as the most popular tourist destinations like Ben Thanh Market, the Reunification Palace, and the Opera House. If you stay in District 1, you can walk to pretty much anywhere you want to go, or easily call a Grab (the Uber of SE Asia).
Check out the list of our 9 favorite hotels in the city center below to help you plan your trip to Ho Chi Minh City. Enjoy!

Curious to see if you have any recommendations in District 2?
Hi Anna, thanks for reading! D2 is pretty far from all of the action of Saigon (but it is the expat area). I haven’t stayed in any hotels over there so unfortunately I don’t have any to recommend. I probably wouldn’t stay in that area if you’re looking for a more cultural experience…
