Best Luxury Hotels & Boutique Stays in Vietnam.

Finding the right luxury hotel in Vietnam in 2026 means choosing between different eras of elegance. In Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the "Vertical Palace" movement is in full swing, with hotels like The Reverie Saigon offering a high-voltage blend of Italian craftsmanship and Asian spirit. Meanwhile, Hanoi's boutique hotel scene continues to focus on historical preservation, where colonial-era villas are reimagined as elite, intimate sanctuaries for the discerning traveler.

When curating our Vietnam accommodation guide, we prioritize properties that offer a distinct sense of place. From the five-star resorts of Da Nang and Phu Quoc to the private river retreats of the Mekong Delta, our expert reviews go beyond the lobby. We investigate the quality of Frette linens, the precision of concierge service, and the authenticity of the "New Wave" aesthetic. Stay with us as we unbox the most exclusive check-ins across modern Vietnam.
