The Caravelle is a fantastic hotel situated in the heart of bustling Ho Chi Minh City.
The original hotel was built in 1959 and housed just 9 hotel floors but in the late 1990s a new high-rise wing was built which houses the rooms today. With 24 stories, bedrooms at The Caravelle command some of the best views in town.
Facilities at the Caravelle include a superb outdoor pool and the excellent and serene Kara Spa with great value treatment packages. A sumptuous buffet breakfast can be devoured in 'Nineteen' and you can enjoy bubbles and snacks during the day/night at the Tapas Kitchen and Champagne Corner.
In the original part of the building guests can visit the popular 'Saigon, Saigon' bar and sip Saigon beer whilst looking out at the view of Saigon. At the close of the Vietnam War the bar was frequented by American journalists who would keep an eye on the front line from their bar stools.
This hotel is a top choice for reliably good rooms, service, facilities and location.
Deluxe - This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.
Include this hotel as part of your Experience Travel Holiday of a lifetime.

Customer Feedback
We feel that we've seen Vietnam and Cambodia in some depth. The real parts, not just the tourist areas. The holiday has provided us with great insight into both countries. David was right when he said it would be better to have our own Guide and driver. It really did make a big difference to the holiday overall!

We stayed at the Caravelle in Saigon in an Executive Room. The upgrade is more than worth its financial value. Free drinks and canapes in the Signature Lounge from 5-8pm and breakfast in the Signature Lounge made us feel very special. It's on the 9th floor with great views of the city and we loved it. The cost of wine in Vietnam is very high so financially I strongly suspect we came out of it very well!

Caravelle in Saigon is in a good location though the rooms don't have a lot of character.
