Opening its doors on the 1st September within the new, 39-floor Times Square building in Ho Chi Minh City’s District, the ultra-luxurious property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. With couture style and bespoke, Italian design, combined impeccable service, it raises the bar for luxury hospitality in Vietnam. LOBBY
A 3-metre-tall Baldi clock in the main lobby, made from malachite stone with crystals and 24 karat gold accents, has been specifically commissioned for the hotel. Above, a colourful ceiling installation of individual pieces of hand-blown glass are seemingly intertwined, echoing the shapely geographic silhouette of Vietnam.
LA SCALA GRAND BALLROOM
A one-of-a-kind Bechstein grand piano that dates back to 1895 sits in the La Scala Grand Ballroom. It has been reimagined and transformed by the Florentine company Baldi into an opulent piece of art, with its veneer made of a striking ‘Russian mosaic’ of precious malachite stone and accented with gilded bronze.

Guests are spoiled with a 1,200 square meter spa and state-of-the-art fitness centre with views over the Saigon River – including 10 treatment rooms, a beauty salon, steam and sauna facilities and Wi-Fi enabled screens simulating workouts in jungles or beaches – and an outdoor free-form pool, Jacuzzi and separate children’s pool ~
