Alagon D'antique Boutique Hotel & Spa

Alagon D'antique Boutique Hotel & Spa is a 5-star hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with a rooftop swimming pool that overlooks the city. The rooftop is the property's focal point: guests can swim, relax in the hot tub, have a drink at the bar or take high tea in the sky garden. It suits travellers who want to stay in the middle of the city with a full range of services under one roof.

Each room has a private bathroom with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries, and some rooms have a seating area. The friendly staff speak five languages and are available around the clock at the front desk and the tour desk, which arrange tours, currency exchange, luggage storage and airport transfers. Room service is available, and the minibars are complimentary.

A spa with sauna and steam bath facilities, a fitness room and an on-site restaurant complete the hotel, and a coffee shop is also on site. The restaurant serves a buffet breakfast every morning.

The room types at Alagon D'antique Boutique Hotel & Spa range from 25 m² Deluxe rooms to suites of up to 45 m², and all of them share a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar and bathrobes. Every room includes a 30-minute massage, a happy hour at the rooftop bar and daily turndown service.

The Indochine Heritage Suite, at 45 m², has a seating area and a king-size bed, the Imperial Heritage Suite at 35 m² adds a sofa bed alongside a bathtub and a standing shower, and the Annam Heritage Suite at 32 m² has a seating area with a sofa.

Ly Tu Trong street runs through the Ben Thanh area of District 1, the city centre, where shops, cafés and food stalls cluster around the market. Ben Thanh Market is 450 m away, and Ben Thanh Station, the metro stop on Line 1, is 450 m away too. Italianis Pizza, Tnt Bbq and The First Steakhouse are all within 100 m, so there is plenty to choose from without going far. Nguyen Hue walking street and the Opera House are both within walking distance, so the central streets are easy to explore on foot.

The Saigon Railway Station is 2.1 km away and Tan Son Nhat International Airport 5.2 km, so a taxi or ride-hailing car is the simplest way to reach the hotel from either. Traffic in the centre can slow journeys at busy times, so allow extra time for the airport. The Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station is 650 m away, and Nha Rong Wharf on the Saigon River is 1.4 km.

Sri Mariamman Temple, with its brightly decorated Hindu shrine, is 200 m away, and September 23 Park, 250 m, is a small shaded park for a morning stroll. The Independence Palace, the former presidential palace, is 600 m away, about a 10-minute walk. Ben Nghe Street Food, 800 m away, is the place to go for dinner from the stalls. The centre is small enough to cover on foot in a day.
