Ton Duc Thang Riverside, District 1
Guest sentiment
A riverside Le Meridien on Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1, overlooking the Saigon River near the Ba Son Metro station.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Le Meridien Saigon sits on Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1, directly on the Saigon River and near Exit 1 of the Ba Son Metro station, putting it within easy reach of downtown offices, riverside promenades, and Dong Khoi's shopping and dining. It was the first Le Meridien hotel in Vietnam and carries the brand's arts-and-design positioning within Bonvoy's mid-to-upper tier. Guest reviews consistently single out the river views, spacious comfortable rooms with well-designed bathrooms, and a breakfast buffet with a strong local-and-Western selection, alongside staff who are repeatedly described as attentive to small details like remembering returning guests' preferences. The Club Lounge and a recently refreshed gym also draw specific praise. Recurring watchouts are narrower but worth noting: a handful of reviews describe a subpar or slow check-in experience, some feel parts of the hotel show their age compared to newer District 1 competitors, and at least one review flagged outdated information (an advertised nearby attraction perk that was no longer valid) that guests should double-check on arrival. Overall it suits travelers who prioritize river views and a design-led atmosphere within walking distance of downtown District 1.
