French-Indochine style hotel pays homage to the romantic voyages of an elegant era, with a modern twist
AccorHotels announces the opening of Hotel de Arts Saigon, a member of the MGallery Collection. The newly built hotel is centrally located in the most vibrant district of Ho Chi Minh City, just steps away from Notre Dame Cathedral, the Opera House, the historic Saigon Central Post Office and other key tourist attractions.
“MGallery hotels offer savvy, bold travellers inspiring and singular hotel experiences, and Hotel de Arts Saigon provides guests with a uniquely modern twist on Saigon,” said Mr. Patrick Basset, Chief Operating Officer for AccorHotels Upper Southeast and Northeast Asia. “We're proud that it's the fifth MGallery in Vietnam and the fifth AccorHotels property in Ho Chi Minh City.”
Hotel de Arts Saigon evokes a time when a voyage to the Far East was a luxurious privilege for the most sophisticated members of society. The guest rooms and suites are elegantly designed with traditional Indochine elements elevated in timeless French style with eclectic touches of custom-painted furnishings and 19th century French herbs that have been pressed and framed. Crisp white linens, goose feathered comforters and plush beds envelope guests in decadent comfort. All of its 168 luxurious rooms and suites feature the most modern of conveniences such as complimentary WiFi, 50-inch LED TVs and signature amenities.
Ms. Julie Anne-Marie Bruley, General Manager of Hotel des Arts Saigon, said, “At every turn, guests are immersed in the romance and elegance of a bygone era, while maintaining comforts and amenities that are exquisitely modern. Our staff is key to creating an authentic, refined experience, with a bespoke approach that integrates the most extraordinary aspects of 'East meets West' hospitality.”
Four dynamic restaurants and bars serve up a range of culinary experiences at the hotel. Social Club restaurant and lounge on the 23rd-floor is poised to make its mark on the city's dining and nightlife scene, attracting hotel guests and in-the-know Saigonese alike. Conceived by the internationally-acclaimed Super Potato design firm of Japan, Social Club's gorgeous sumptuous interior is reminiscent of 1930s Indochina. Here guests can enjoy delicious casual European cuisine, paired with an array of spirits, fine wine and Champagnes as well as artful, handcrafted cocktails from the stunning oak wood bar. The alchemy of Social Club extends to the stylish Social Pool Bar, an outdoor lounge one floor above Social Club, featuring breath-taking views of the city.
On the 2nd floor, Saigon Kitchen offers authentic, street food-inspired Indochine and European cuisine with an opportunity to view chefs in action at its open kitchen. Café des Beaux-Arts on the ground floor is the perfect setting for guests and fashionable Saigonese to relax, discuss business or socialize over coffee or cocktails.
Meanwhile, Le Spa des Artistes provides guests with luxurious spa treatments that soothe, rejuvenate, de-stress and revitalize. For a more invigorating experience, guests can work out in a state-of-the-art fitness facility or take a dip in the city's highest infinity pool and soak up the skyline views.
For business or private events, the hotel offers two function rooms that are ideal for small meetings, banquets or cocktail receptions and can accommodate up to 200 people.
To celebrate, the hotel is offering a special opening rate of USD 120++ for a Superior room, valid until 26 December 2015.
Hotel des Arts Saigon is located at 76-78 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 30 minutes by taxi from Tân Sơn Nhất International Airport. For more information, please visit www.accorhotels.com, email h9231-re@accor.com, or call +84 (0) 839 898 888.
