Ton Duc Thang Riverside, District 1
Guest sentiment
A Renaissance hotel on Ton Duc Thang Street's riverside stretch in District 1, close to Nguyen Hue Walking Street and Ben Thanh Market.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Renaissance Riverside Hotel Saigon stands on Ton Duc Thang Street along the Saigon River in District 1, within reach of Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Ben Thanh Market, and the Saigon Opera House. As a Renaissance-branded property it sits in Bonvoy's upscale lifestyle tier, distinguished from the neighboring Le Meridien and Sheraton by its rooftop pool and rooftop bar with skyline and river views. Guest reviews consistently highlight the central location, large and spotlessly clean rooms and bathrooms, and friendly, helpful staff and dining service, with the rooftop pool and Club Lounge singled out repeatedly as highlights. The most common criticism is that the hotel's interiors read as an older style -- clean and well-maintained, but with a design language that feels dated next to some of District 1's newer builds -- and at least one guest described unusually heavy traffic and parking difficulty on arrival, though this reflects the district's congestion generally rather than the hotel itself. It suits travelers who want a riverside District 1 base with strong service and a proven rooftop pool and bar, and who don't mind a more traditional decor style.
