As its name suggests, the 5-star boutique hotel Hôtel des Arts Saigon is designed as an art museum. With its feminine lines that contrast sharply with its neighboring buildings, the hotel is like a modern art masterpiece in the heart of Saigon. Each hotel in the MGallery chain tells a unique and inspiring story, immersing guests in poetic adventures, rich in history, culture, nature and more, all wrapped up in their stay.
The Hôtel des Arts Saigon evokes the French colonial period in Vietnam when trips to the Far East were reserved for the upper class. The space is designed to bring visitors a romantic atmosphere of a bygone era with classic charm mixed with modernity in every detail and luxurious amenities of the 21st century. As soon as you step through the tall wooden door to enter, visitors will admire the collection of paintings and antiques collected and arranged by the owner of Hôtel des Arts Saigon himself to highlight and differentiate the walls, corridors or main lobby of the hotel.
The 24-storey architecture is like a journey through time, bringing visitors back to the images of markets, folk songs and old imprints that create the quintessential beauty of the "Pearl of the Far East". Or feel the breath of 19th-century France conveyed charmingly in the bedroom space. Pure white bed sheets, feather pillows and soft mattresses bring a feeling of extreme comfort.
In addition, each restaurant inside the hotel has its own identity and spirit. If Saigon Kitchen restaurant takes you back to the bustling atmosphere of ancient Vietnamese markets, enjoying the rich and sophisticated flavors of 3-region cuisine as well as cuisine from other Asian countries; then when coming to Social Club restaurant and lounge on the 23rd floor - designed by the famous Japanese interior company Super Potato, visitors will experience the beauty of the design that harmoniously combines the romance and luxury of Europe in the 1930s and the modernity of the 21st century.
The inspiration behind the design of the Hôtel des Arts Saigon comes from the melancholy beauty of the young women in the paintings displayed in the hotel, collected by the hotel's owner. Australian architect Scott Whittaker has successfully conveyed the inspiration into his design, creating an artistic architecture in the heart of Saigon. The hotel itself is like a beautiful woman with a sad but romantic past, evoking in you the feeling of returning home to a place you have never visited: strangely nostalgic but familiarly close.
When it comes to a piece of architecture, people often focus on what they see, but the hotel wants to bring to customers the experiences and emotions they will have when entering this architectural space: a little bit classic, a little bit contemporary, and full of inspiration in every detail," shared Carl Gagnon, General Manager of Hôtel des Arts Saigon.
