Hotel des Arts

Elegant horizons
Vietnam
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Presented by the chic MGallery hotel group, Hotel des Arts stands out from the crowd, boasting a wow factor that stretches far beyond its rooftop infinity pool.

With a nod to Vietnam’s Indochine heritage, room interiors are timeless and elegant – havens of calm in contrast to the modern city skyline that can be viewed through the large picture windows. The king size beds look wonderfully comfortable, and so inviting that missing breakfast is a serious possibility!

The Social Club rooftop restaurant and bar is the ideal place to relax in the breezy air, in the company of fashionable Saigonese and fellow travellers, and gaze at the sweeping skyline views. A luxury hotel isn’t complete without a spa, and Le Spa des Artistes is suitably sumptuous and indulgent. To top it all (quite literally) there’s that rooftop pool and essential swim-up bar…

Why we love it

“We wanted a central location without compromising on luxury and design - step in Hotel des Arts.”

Explore & indulge

Lobby

It’s easy to lose track of time exploring Ho Chi Minh’s turbulent history, but staying at Hotel Des Arts allows you the perfect cocktail of relaxation, discovery and temptation. Spend your days meandering in the nearby streets, sipping coffee at a local cafe, or browsing the charming boutique stores just minutes away. Enjoy a delectable champagne brunch while admiring the impressive art displayed throughout the hotel. We can’t think of many better ways to spend a few days in the city.

Honeymoon in style

Bedroom

There’s something to be said about art and romance; it seems to slow you down and allow you to take in the moment – just what you need on your honeymoon. Whether you’re spending your entire honeymoon with no expense spared, or just looking for a special treat here and there, Hotel Des Arts is the perfect pick. The hotel’s ambience is especially enticing for couples, with big and airy room designs and exuding a somewhat adult vibe. If you’re looking for that extra edge, we suggest booking the Sky Executive Deluxe Room which has unbeatable views of the city.

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in, plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.
