Travel Guide: Saigon River An Lam Retreats Litriz Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City

Set along the banks of the iconic Saigon River, this boutique-style retreat pairs thoughtful modern amenities with lush green surroundings, making it a refreshing alternative to crowded central hotels.

Nearby Attractions

Just a 15-minute drive from the hotel, Saigon River Promenade offers paved walking and cycling trails with unobstructed river views, dotted with local food stalls serving fresh pho and Vietnamese iced coffee at sunset. For a taste of local culture, head 20 minutes away to the Cu Chi Tunnels, the iconic underground network from the Vietnam War, where visitors can crawl through reconstructed tunnels and learn about wartime history from local guides. If you’re craving urban excitement, central Ho Chi Minh City’s Ben Thanh Market is 30 minutes away by car – browse hundreds of stalls selling handcrafted textiles, local spices, and street food, from banh mi to fresh mango sticky rice.

Travel Tips

The hotel is a 45-minute drive from Tan Son Nhat International Airport, and pre-booking the hotel’s paid airport shuttle will save you time negotiating fares with local taxi drivers. Book your spa or cooking class at least 24 hours in advance, as these popular activities fill up quickly during peak travel season (November to April). If you plan to explore central Ho Chi Minh City daily, ask the concierge to arrange a private car service for a fixed rate, which is more reliable than hailing ride-share cars from the suburban location. For a quiet evening, grab a drink from the bar and enjoy it on your balcony – the sunset views over the Saigon River are not to be missed.
