Omni Saigon Hotel

Frommer's Review

Once the quarters for the U.S. CIA and later for the army, this hotel's edifice recalls a Soviet-era post office. But its interior is another story. The lobby, with a colonial period flavor and Art Deco details, is gorgeous and welcoming. The rooms are quite comfortable, and the amenities -- including the many fine-dining outlets, popular Irish pub Mulligan's, and extensive fitness center -- rival any in town. Here's the drawback: Though it's just 10 minutes from the airport, the hotel is in District 3 and some 15 minutes from town. Shuttles and taxis are consistent, but traffic can be hellish and you might feel distanced from the action. Still, there are many perks: Rooms are luxurious and well equipped, done in a somewhat formal but immaculate decor. The executive floor has a small business center, in-room faxes, broadband hookup, and a particularly elegant lounge. The Omni is most popular for Asian travelers and businessmen.
