The Caravelle Hotel is one of Vietnam’s
iconic properties, made famous during the days when Ho Chi
Minh City was still named Saigon. The
Caravelle Hotel plans a top-to-bottom overhaul of guest rooms and suites as
well as a slate of environmentally-friendly green initiatives. This follows a complete revamp of its ground-floor dining venue, Nineteen, and
a recasting of its signature restaurant as Reflections. The hotel’s Saigon Saigon Bar, once a famous watering
hole for war correspondents, has been voted “Best Bar” in the city. The bar has
live music and a birds-eye balcony view of the city below.
Notable VIP guests at the hotel include former U.S.
President Bill Clinton, Britain’s Princess Anne, and movie stars Michael Caine
and Brendan Fraser (while filming The
Quiet American). During the Vietnam War, the Caravelle Hotel housed the
headquarters of broadcasting companies such as CBS and NBC.
The 335-room hotel is the city’s leading international five-star hotel, with a great location in the center of the business, shopping,
market and entertainment district.
