Hotel Description
The names of very few hotels evoke such fond, romantic images, and indeed such anticipation, as The Caravelle. Its breezy sound recalls its inspiration: the Iberian caravelas, or as the French called them, caravelles fast, light 15th-century sailing ships that explored the world in search of foreign trade, adventure and new horizons. And perhaps it’s no coincidence that Air France, which held a stake in the original building, and had its offices here since its opening, had also recently begun operating a fancy new jet airliner of the same name.
The Caravelle has been at the center of Saigon society since the hotel was opened in 1959. In 1998, an elegant 24-storey tower was built as a complement to the original 10-storey building. With commanding views of the city and an enviable location opposite the Opera House, the landmark hotel is at the heart of a city once renown as the Pearl of the Orient. Caravelle was home to many members of the international press corps during the Vietnam War, a time when Saigon (now known universally as Ho Chi Minh City) was the center of extraordinary upheaval and turmoil.
Nowadays, Caravelle Saigon with its signature services is still the iconic landmark address in the heart of Saigon.
As well as providing all a guest requires in their guest room, including complimentary wifi throughout the hotel, a 24 hour fitness centre, an outdoor pool with swim up bar, and the chilled environment of Kara Salon & Spa the property has the following wining & dining options. Saigon Saigon is one of the city’s most popular rooftop bars, Nineteen Buffet Restaurant offers fabulous lunch and dinners plus a sumptuous Sunday Brunch.
In early 2015, Vietnam’s first Champagne Corner and Tapas Kitchens were also introduced to the hotel and now complement Saigon’s premier “place to meet” for Afternoon Tea, Café de l’Opera. Finally, Reflections Fine Dining offers the best upscale dinner experience in Saigon and it’s adjoining Martini Bar offers a fabulous insight into the past 25 years of Vietnam’s development through images from renowned photographer, Catherine Karnow while enjoying the hotel’s fabulous selection of Martinis.

Location Information: Vietnam’s vibrant southern metropolis — often still referred to as Saigon by the locals – is one of Asia’s most fascinating destinations. Set along the scenic Saigon River, the central districts are adorned with pockets of charming colonial architecture, while the surrounding districts each exhibit a unique character, from the ultra-modern malls of District 7, to the bustling streets of Chinatown, to the leafy suburbs of District 2. A harmonious melding of traditional and contemporary, Vietnam is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most enduring charms.
