The Reverie Saigon

The Reverie Saigon

"Built like an Italian palazzo, the brand new Reverie Saigon brings in a level of luxury previously unseen in Ho Chi Minh City. Everything about the hotel is over-the-top opulent, from the palatial, marble-clad lobby to the lavish rooms, individually appointed by top Italian decorators and decked out in Carrara marble and plush Italian silks. There are three upscale restaurants—French, Cantonese, and Italian (of course)—plus a 157-foot bar that’s so long, it stretches from Dong Khoi Street all the way to Nguyen Hue Boulevard two blocks over. Not to be outshone, Reverie’s spa is a two-level, 13,000-square-foot affair with two open-air Jacuzzis and an Olympic-size swimming pool, naturally. Impressive, indeed—if not borderline intimidating.

"Occupying most of a 38-floor Times Square building, the Reverie Saigon initially made waves for its over-the-top flourishes: the house cars are a limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom Dragon and a Maybach, both parked out front; the lobby features a $500,000 jade-and-gold Baldi clock; and the property feels like it used all the marble and Murano glass in Italy. What’s surprising, then, is how well it all works—and how quickly you might feel at ease. A large part of that is thanks to the warm, attentive service (sniffle once, for example, and ginger tea will appear at your doorstep) and the 286 airy guest rooms themselves, which—though full of whimsical touches by international design houses like Visionnaire and Provasi—manage to call to mind serene sanctuaries floating high above the city bustle. The on-site dining options (including places for traditional Cantonese, fine-dining French, and modern Italian) draw local crowds, and the two-story spa features an ozone-infused outdoor pool equipped with underwater speakers—plus some of the best therapists in town."

"D1 is the obvious lodging choice for most travelers—and where the swankier hotels are, from the Reverie Saigon to the Park Hyatt Saigon."

This stunning hotel in Saigon is a study in upscale Italian design - SilverKris

"An ultra-luxury hotel occupying the top floors of a mixed-use riverside skyscraper, designed by chief architect Kent Lui in collaboration with leading Italian furniture and interior houses. Public areas are opulent, with expansive marble, clustered chandeliers and palatial furnishings in the first-floor lobby and a more contemporary seventh-floor reception that features a 3m-tall Monumental Clock custom-made by Baldi with emerald malachite and gold accents. Signature furnishings include a gilded baroque-style sofa with purple ostrich leather and a hand-painted winged cherry wood console inlaid with semi-precious crystals from Colombostile. The property offers 89 residential-style suites and 286 rooms, each uniquely styled from European classic to contemporary chic and furnished with pieces by Giorgetti, Visionnaire and Poltrona Frau; highlighted suites include a Designer Suite with a golden-peacock mosaic wall, an Art Nouveau–inspired one-bedroom and a modern Saigon Suite featuring Poltrona Frau and Philippe Starck influences. A wealth of amenities extends across multiple floors, including an ornate spa, gym and mosaic-clad pool with an underwater sound system, plus numerous function rooms and lavish ballrooms. Rigorous health and hygiene protocols are in place, including sanitizer stations, temperature checks, health declarations, hospital-grade disinfection of rooms and a white-glove service to minimize contact with guests' belongings." - Creative Solutions
