New Hotels in Vietnam

Recently opened for operations, the new boutique hotel Lavender Hotel is a gem of a place. Located right in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, the Lavender is highly recommended for travellers who want a comfortable stay without missing out on the sightseeing, shopping and bustling life of the city. Offering 71 rooms stylishly decorated in hues of purple, there is also a Saigon View Restaurant & Bar that serves Western and Asian cuisine amidst an elegant ambience. The Lavender is also an ideal spot to explore the historical Ben Thanh market just a stone’s throw away.

The latest edition to Hanoi’s growing boutique hotel scene, the 42-room Serenade Hotel is set to enchant. Centrally located in Hang Dao Street, the most established and bustling business center in the Old Quarter area, the Serenade is comprised of 42 rooms luxuriously designed and fitted with modern amenities. You can look forward to savoring the different gastronomic styles of Vietnam in the Romance Restaurant or enjoy an overview of the city from Panorama Cafe. Its convenient location also makes it a perfect base to explore the neighboring Sword Lake (Hoan Kiem Lake) and Thang Long Puppet Theatre, a distinctive Vietnamese art form.
