Luxury Hotel Review: Pullman Saigon Centre Hotel Saigon Vietnam 2024 Prices

Are you travelling to Ho Chi Minh City and wondering where to stay?

District One is our preferred location in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon) as you are close to the major tourist sites, restaurants and bars.

If you are after luxury accommodation, centrally located, with great restaurants and bars you can’t go past the Pullman Saigon Centre Hotel.

Our stay was sponsored by the Pullman Saigon Centre, but, as always, our opinions are our own.

Our YouTube Video on the Pullman Saigon Centre Hotel

Is it Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon? You will hear people say both but officially since 1976, it was renamed Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate the reunification of Northern and Southern Vietnam after the end of the Vietnam War.

PRO-TIPs on Security

In general, Ho Chi Minh City is a safe city for travellers.  The concierge at the Pullman Hotel warned us to beware of our surroundings at all times.  There is a high incidence of ‘snatch and grab’ from motorcycle riders, so don’t flash your phone around in front of you and make sure that your handbag is securely fastened over your body. Keep your camera safe and close to you whilst sightseeing.

Avoid wearing singlets, shorts and revealing clothes when visiting temples or pagodas.

Location of Pullman Saigon Centre Hotel in District 1

It is all about location in Ho Chi Minh City.  The best place to stay in Ho Chi Minh City is District One.

One of the reasons we chose the Pullman Saigon Centre was its location to the major sites and being in District 1.

The second reason is that we are big fans of the Pullman brand. During our time in Vietnam, we have stayed at the luxurious Pullman Danang Beach Resort and the Pullman Hanoi.

We love their tag lines “Our World is Your Playground” and “Work Hard Play Hard”.

If walking is not your thing it is easy to travel around the city by taxi.  We use Grab in Vietnam which is the Asian version of Uber.

Each month the Pullman Saigon Centre creates their own Signature Cocktails at the Urbane Lounge. We loved their Blanco Margaretto which included Olmeco Tequila, Amaretto Liqueur, Orange Juice and Hazelnut Syrup.

Check out their Combo specials as well.  Whilst we were visiting they had a Hawaii Burger that included 1 glass of local beer and french fries for VND380 nett.  Make sure you are hungry when you go for the Combo burgers. The Hawaii Burger included 2 chuck roll beef patties, cheddar cheese, and pineapple in a classic burger bun. Have you heard of free-flow french fries? Yep, free flow. A good reason to visit the Urbane Lounge.

Craft beer is a new trend in Saigon and the Urbane Lounge was one of the first gourmet burger bars selling craft beer from Pasteur Street Brewing Co.

Pro Tip: 

Check out the wine prices.  The hotel prides itself on keeping its wines affordable, you will find the same prices in the local grocery store and on the menus in each of their restaurants and bars.
