Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions are easily accessible from the property:

• Landmark 81 SkyView: Just a 10-minute drive away, Vietnam’s tallest building offers panoramic 360-degree views of Ho Chi Minh City from its open-air observation deck on the 81st floor. Visit at sunset to watch the city light up below, and stop at the sky-high coffee bar for a memorable drink.
• Ho Chi Minh City Water Park: A 15-minute ride from the property, this popular outdoor water park is perfect for family travelers, with thrilling slides, lazy rivers, and shaded picnic areas to beat the city’s tropical heat.
• Binh Thanh Floating Market: One of the city’s last authentic floating markets, located 20 minutes from the apartment, lets you experience local river life. Tour vendors selling fresh tropical fruit, Vietnamese street food, and handcrafted goods from their wooden boats.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak dry season (November to March) to secure the best rates and balcony units with unobstructed views. If you’re arriving by plane, pre-book the property’s airport transfer to avoid overcharging from unofficial taxi stands at Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Grab the property’s bicycle rental option for a scenic ride along the nearby Saigon River bike path, a great way to explore local neighborhood cafes and street food stalls that most tourists miss. Keep in mind the outdoor pool is adults-only, so families traveling with young children will need to plan alternate swim time at the nearby city water park. Finally, don’t forget to try the phở and bánh mì vendors along Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh street just steps from the apartment entrance for cheap, authentic local meals.
