Hotel Des Arts Saigon, Vietnam

This boutique hotel has 168 rooms and suites all with chic details, crisp white linen, elegant bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular city views, but the real gem is the Social Club up on the roof - a buzzy bar and trendy restaurant by the city’s highest infinity pool - exclusive to hotel guests.

Sit back and relax at the sophisticated Cafe des Beaux Arts which evokes plenty of old-world charm and enjoy afternoon tea and cocktails. Vietnamese and Western dishes are prepared in the open kitchen at the Saigon Kitchen Restaurant, where one wall is covered in French Provencal tiles and the others in works of art that represent the harmonious blend of cultures in Vietnam. There is also a modern gym and sumptuous spa, Jacuzzi and a solarium for some relaxation after a day exploring the city.
