Indigo Saigon the City by IHG
Design-forward boutique hotel rooted in neighbourhood storytelling — nostalgic Saigonese aesthetics (barber chairs as lobby workstations, cyclo art installations, retro games, vinyl record players) layered with polished modern comfort.
Ask for a room with Ba Son Bridge view — the early morning light on the bridge is the hotel's best free attraction.
Why It Matters
The first Hotel Indigo to open in Vietnam, and the only property in the IHG portfolio that tells the story of Ba Son's shipbuilding heritage through architecture, design, and menus. The Pho'jito cocktail alone signals what this place is going for.
Hotel Indigo Saigon The City opened in February 2025 as IHG's first Hotel Indigo in Vietnam, landing in the Ba Son neighbourhood of District 1 — the same zone that once housed the legendary Ba Son Shipyard. The 17-floor property leans hard into that history: rooms come with hand-drawn murals of Saigonese street life, 'garde manger' minibars styled like old larders, louvre windows, and floral tile carpets. All 150 rooms look out over the city, the rooftop pool sits at 100 sqm with sweeping skyline views, and the two on-site restaurants riff on Vietnamese fusion. Walkable to the Opera House, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and Little Japan Town.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
One Bedroom Suite
The top suite category at 70 sqm. A proper bedroom separated from the living area, with Ba Son Bridge views available in select units. The design echoes 'local soul meets suite elegance' — think Saigonese home warmth with upscale finishes. Best for families, longer stays, or anyone who finds the standard room a squeeze.
1 King Bed · 70 sqmStandard Room
The entry-level rooms are 30 sqm — not tiny but not sprawling. Expect warm tones, eclectic furnishings that nod to Saigonese hẻm culture, louvre windows, floral tile carpet, and the signature 'garde manger' minibar (stocked complimentarily with soft drinks and beers). Views look out over the neighbourhood. All rooms include plush bedding, bathrobes, slippers, coffee maker, in-room safe, and bath amenities.
1 King Bed or 2 Twin Beds · 30 sqmSuite
At 50 sqm, these suites add meaningful breathing room over the standard category. The same Saigonese design language runs throughout — richer textures, more curated furnishings, a more generous bathroom with spa-like touches. A solid upgrade for longer stays or travellers who want a proper lounge area without jumping all the way to the one-bedroom.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel publishes a curated local area guide covering Ba Son Bridge, Bach Dang Wharf, Little Japan Town, the Central Post Office, Independence Palace, and the Fine Arts Museum — most within walking distance. Concierge can arrange deeper neighbourhood discovery sessions.
The hotel's communal areas are set up with retro games and a working vinyl record player. The vibe is deliberately low-key — the kind of corner that makes you linger longer in the lobby than you planned.
100 sqm outdoor rooftop pool open 7:00 AM–7:00 PM daily. With Ba Son Bridge and Saigon River views, it's the hotel's headline outdoor moment. Poolside chairs, umbrellas, and towel service provided.
Monthly guided painting evenings led by local Saigon artists. Held in the hotel's communal spaces, the sessions pair a glass of wine with instruction — a casual, social way to connect with the local creative scene. Email theshipyard@hotelindigosaigon.com to reserve a spot; they fill up.
