About

The oldest hotel in Vietnam, opened in 1880 at the corner of Đồng Khởi and Công trường Lam Sơn, opposite the Opera House (Municipal Theatre).

Why go

After 145 years the building keeps almost all of its French-era architecture: 4 m high ceilings, thick brick walls, wide corridors and a garden with frangipani trees planted in the year it opened. Graham Greene stayed in room 214 while writing The Quiet American, and Phạm Xuân Ẩn once worked here as a reporter. Visitors who are not staying can still enter the restaurant, the cafe and the garden.

Good to know

As a working hotel it has no tours, so to see inside you go for a meal or a drink. Prices are at central-hotel level, higher than places on the street.

On the menu

  • Sân vườn Continental Patio
