Recommendation

Where to Stay in Ho Chi Minh City

District 1 (The Modern Heart & Colonial Center)

District 1 is the undisputed center of Saigon, where you'll find the most famous historic landmarks alongside gleaming skyscrapers and high-end shopping malls. This area is divided between the upscale, grand boulevards (like Dong Khoi) and the more energetic backpacker-friendly streets of Pham Ngu Lao. Boutique hotels in District 1 are incredibly diverse, from historic colonial gems to ultra-chic modern design hotels with infinity pools. It is the perfect base for first-time visitors who want everything—sights, world-class dining, and nightlife—within walking distance.

Dong Khoi & The Riverside

Located within District 1 but possessing a distinct atmosphere, the area around Dong Khoi Street and the Saigon River is the most elegant and refined part of the city. Historically the center of French colonial social life, it remains home to high-end boutiques, legacy hotels, and stylish riverside cafes. Boutique hotels here often lean into heritage luxury and classic Indochine design. It is the best choice for travelers seeking a more sophisticated, historic, and 'un-backpacker' urban experience with views over the river.

The Little Japan Area (Da Kao & Ben Nghe)

Centered around Le Thanh Ton street in District 1, this area—often called 'Little Japan'—is a dense network of narrow 'hemm' (alleys) filled with authentic Japanese ramen shops, hidden cocktail bars, and artistic cafes. Further north in Da Kao, the neighborhood becomes leafier and more bohemian. Boutique hotels here are often minimalist and design-focused. It's an incredible area for travelers who want to explore hidden alleys, enjoy high-quality international cuisine, and stay in a neighborhood that feels like a cool, insider secret.

District 3 (Leafy Villas & Local Authenticity)

Bordering District 1, District 3 is characterized by its wide, tree-lined streets, French colonial villas, and a slightly slower pace than the city center. It feels much more residential and 'Saigonese,' containing some of the city's best local coffee shops and hidden garden restaurants. It houses many foreign consulates and universities, giving it a stable, upscale-yet-local feel. Boutique options are growing, often housed in converted villas. Stay here if you want to experience the modern, everyday life of upscale locals in a green and walkable environment.
