Fusion Suites Saigon

Across the hotel, there are life-sized monochrome photographs adorning the walls depicting images of life in Vietnam. This leaning towards 'local is best' continues in the kitchen with fresh, regional ingredients and favourite dishes. You can even sit on the street-front terrace for a little people watching. Pleasing florals and pastel tones run throughout, including the spa where you'll enjoy soothing treatments. For something a little different for dinner, The Poké Cafe serves this Hawaiian staple with a Saigon flair.

Muted hues and light woods make the Fusion Suites a charming respite from the busyness of the city. All are furnished with a linen-clad bed, rustic wooden tables and lots of plush rugs. Corner suites enjoy 180° views through floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious lounge, kitchenette and deep, boatlike bathtub. Some suites are open-plan while others have two bedrooms (the second has bunk beds for the kids). Other amenities include a coffee/tea maker, minibar and unlimited Wi-Fi.

With a prime address in the heart of District 1, Fusion Suites is close to just about everything. Head out to spend your Vietnamese dong at the famous Ben Thanh Market (where everything from exquisite handicrafts to fragrant street food is for sale) or peruse the high-end shops of Nguyen Hue Street. Take a step back in time at the iconic Opera House and Notre Dame Cathedral, then visit the War Remnants Museum - an eye-opening and poignant reminder of the country's past.
