La Siesta Premium Saigon Central

Overview of La Siesta Premium Saigon Central

Elegance Hospitality Group (EHG), a Vietnamese hospitality group founded in the early 2000s, launched the La Siesta brand at the end of 2018 to bring its Premium, Classic, and Trendy hotel tiers together under one identity — and La Siesta Premium Saigon Central sits in that Premium tier, at the upper end of the group's boutique portfolio alongside sister properties such as La Siesta Premium Hang Be, La Siesta Premium Lakeside, and La Siesta Premium Saigon. The clearest expression of that positioning is on the roof: a swimming pool deck shared with the Aqua Sky Bar, a 120-seat cocktail bar, both looking straight out over Ben Thanh Market and the Saigon River. That vantage point is unusual in this part of the city, where low-rise shophouses and market rooftops otherwise dominate the skyline. The property itself sits at 47-51 Le Anh Xuan, in the Ben Thanh area of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.

Scale here is deliberately modest — 9 floors, 80 rooms, and a lift serving every guest floor — which keeps the rooftop feeling more like a private deck than a crowded amenity. Guest sentiment backs that up: on Traveloka, the property currently earns excellent reviews from verified guests, reflecting consistent satisfaction with its central location and rooftop facilities.

Room Types at La Siesta Premium Saigon Central

Nobody bothered inventing cute names for the room categories at La Siesta Premium Saigon Central — they're labelled plainly by tier and size, which actually makes the ladder faster to scan than a lot of hotels' marketing-speak room names. Starting from the bottom, the Superior Room is the smallest category, generally suited to single or two-guest stays. One step up, the Deluxe Room is built for two guests, and a Deluxe Connecting Room joins two rooms together for up to four guests travelling as one party.

Move further up and the Executive Room offers more space than Deluxe while still sleeping two, the Executive Triple Room is built for three, and an Executive Connecting Room combines two rooms for up to five. The two suite categories sit at the very top: a Junior Suite that adds its own balcony for two guests, and The Owner's Suite, the hotel's single most spacious room, with a private living room and an enlarged bathroom, also configured for two guests. Every category, regardless of tier, comes with cable TV, a work desk, an in-room safe, a minibar, a bathrobe, and a shower — and since all of it sits within the same 9-floor building served by lift, nobody has to climb stairs to reach any room type.

Facilities and Amenities

The 120-seat Aqua Sky Bar and the swimming pool it shares a rooftop deck with are really the centrepiece of what this hotel offers — there's no large-format spa, no cluster of specialty restaurants, no sprawling grounds to speak of, just that one rooftop space overlooking Ben Thanh Market, backed up by poolside sun loungers that keep it usable well past checkout time. Food and drink then continue down through the rest of the building: the Link Bistro Cafe serves international-fusion dishes, the main restaurant runs a la carte and buffet breakfast plus set-menu lunch and dinner with vegetarian options, and a separate poolside bar keeps drinks flowing outside the rooftop's own hours.

Business travellers get a dedicated setup spread across the hotel's 9 floors: conference rooms, general meeting facilities, a business centre, a photocopier, and a projector cover most on-site work needs, backed by free WiFi in public areas, wired LAN internet, and international calling. Front-desk coverage runs 24 hours, with bellhop, concierge, and doorman staff on hand alongside express check-in/out and round-the-clock security; safety deposit boxes are available both in-room and at the lobby. A small library gives guests a quieter alternative to the pool deck, and a fitness centre covers anyone wanting to keep a workout routine going while travelling.

Families and longer-stay guests get a handful of practical extras. Cribs and highchairs come standard. Babysitting can be arranged for a surcharge. Both airport transfer and car rental can be booked through the hotel for onward travel around Ho Chi Minh City.

Location and Getting There

Ben Thanh, the ward this hotel sits in, is best known as the neighbourhood built around its namesake market — one of Ho Chi Minh City's most recognisable landmarks — and that proximity is the address's main selling point. The hotel is on Le Anh Xuan Street, placing it within walking distance of Ben Thanh Market itself as well as the restaurant and nightlife streets of central Saigon. More broadly, District 1 is the traditional heart of Ho Chi Minh City, and other well-known points of interest in the same district — the Saigon Opera House, Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica, and the Bitexco Financial Tower among them — sit within the same general precinct, though travellers should check current walking distances and opening access on arrival. From Tan Son Nhat International Airport, it's a car or taxi journey into the city centre; travellers can compare flight options into Ho Chi Minh City via Traveloka's flight booking page before arranging onward transport. The District 1 location also puts the Saigon River waterfront and the wider central business district within a short ride, suiting leisure travellers keen to explore on foot as well as business travellers needing quick access to the CBD.

Dining at/near La Siesta Premium Saigon Central

Two very different dining moods exist on site: the Link Bistro Cafe for international fusion dishes during the day, and the rooftop Aqua Sky Bar for cocktails with skyline views over Ben Thanh Market after dark. In between, the hotel's own restaurant runs a la carte and buffet breakfast service plus set-menu lunch and dinner with vegetarian options, for guests who'd rather not leave the property at all. Step outside, though, and Ben Thanh's dense cluster of street-food stalls, cafes, and restaurants surrounding the market opens up a much wider range of options within a short walk — everything from casual Vietnamese street food to more established restaurant venues. Travellers keen to explore more of the city's food and culture scene can also browse things to do in Ho Chi Minh City on Traveloka to plan food tours or market visits alongside their stay.

Why Stay at La Siesta Premium Saigon Central

Few boutique options in Ben Thanh can match this particular pairing: a genuinely central address with a working rooftop pool-and-bar setup that has an actual view over the market and river, not just a token amenity deck. Sitting within the La Siesta brand's Premium tier puts the hotel toward the top of the group's own range, and the room ladder reflects that ambition, running all the way up to a dedicated Owner's Suite for guests wanting extra space. At 80 rooms across 9 floors, the experience stays boutique rather than convention-scale — a better fit for travellers who'd rather have a personal stay than a large, anonymous one in the heart of District 1. The hotel's strong guest-review standing on Traveloka, built on several hundred verified stays, adds a useful reference point for anyone weighing up boutique properties in the same neighbourhood. For travellers wanting to extend their trip beyond Ho Chi Minh City, the wider Traveloka platform also covers flights, activities, and hotels across the rest of Vietnam.

Tips for Booking La Siesta Premium Saigon Central on Traveloka

Check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out closes at 12:00 — worth confirming on the booking page if arriving on an early morning flight into Tan Son Nhat.

• Breakfast is included with select room categories and charged separately for others, so check inclusions for the specific room type before booking.
• Travelling with family or as a group? The Deluxe Connecting and Executive Connecting rooms link two rooms together, which works out better than booking one oversized suite.
• Since the rooftop pool and the 120-seat Aqua Sky Bar are the hotel's main draw, it's worth checking current opening hours directly with the property before booking if a specific time of day matters — these can shift seasonally.
• Recent guest reviews on the Traveloka listing are worth a scan before booking, since service standards at a boutique property this size can shift with staffing changes.

Guests weighing up other District 1 properties can also compare listings on Traveloka's Ho Chi Minh City hotel page before finalising a booking.
