Nearby Local Attractions

Three standout attractions are all within a 15-minute drive of the hotel:

• Starlight Bridge (Cầu Ánh Sao): A 10-minute walk from La Casona, this iconic pedestrian bridge crosses the scenic Saigon River, lined with LED lights that glow after dark. It’s a favorite spot for evening strolls, photos, and street food snacks from nearby vendors, with unobstructed views of the river waterfront.
• Phú Mỹ Hưng Night Market: Just 2 kilometers from the hotel, this open-air market offers a laid-back alternative to the crowded Ben Thanh Market. Browse handmade souvenirs, sample local street food classics like banh mi and pho, and enjoy affordable fresh tropical fruit.
• Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC): For business travelers, this major event venue is just a 5-minute drive from the hotel, making La Casona an extremely convenient base for trade shows and conferences.

Travel Tips

Grab a Grab bike or car to reach District 1’s central sights in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. The Phú Mỹ Hưng area is far less crowded than downtown, so you’ll find plenty of affordable local coffee shops and western-friendly restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. If you’re driving or renting a car, the complimentary free parking is a rare perk in Ho Chi Minh City that saves you both time and money. Don’t forget to request a high-floor room at check-in for the best atrium or city views—all upper floors are easily accessible via the property’s elevator.
