Fusion Original Saigon Centre: A Review of the Hotel & How to Book | Vietnam Purple Travel Guide
(map, booking, expedia, agoda, hotels, kayak, tripadvisor)
We loved Fusion Original Saigon Centre. It perfectly aligned with our desire for both central accessibility and modern comfort. The hotel is located directly within the prestigious Saigon Centre shopping mall in District 1's bustling Bến Nghé Ward, and surprisingly, it was very quiet – we heard no noise from the busy streets or the mall.
Location: Unbeatable Central Location
The most striking advantage of Fusion Original Saigon Centre is undoubtedly its prime location. Situated on the busy Lê Lợi Boulevard (but the hotel entrance is on Rue Pasteur), it places you right at the epicenter of Ho Chi Minh City's most dynamic district. This means:
Direct Shopping Access: Step out of the hotel and directly into the extensive high-class shopping offered by Saigon Centre and the connected Takashimaya Department Store.
Walkable Attractions: Iconic landmarks like Ben Thanh Market, the Opera House, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and the Notre Dame Cathedral are all within easy walking distance. This significantly cuts down on travel time, allowing you to immerse yourself in the city's energy.
Dining Hub: The surrounding area is a veritable paradise for foodies, with countless restaurants, cafes, and street food options catering to every craving.
Design & Atmosphere: Bold and Inviting
Fusion Original Saigon Centre immediately impresses with its bold and contemporary design. From the moment you enter, the hotel's aesthetic makes a statement, blending modern flair with subtle nods to Vietnamese culture. Vibrant colors, and unique artwork create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and fun.
Rooms: Serene Retreats with Thoughtful Touches
The rooms and bathrooms at Fusion Original Saigon Centre are beautifully designed as serene and sophisticated retreats above the city's buzz. We found them to be:
Spacious and Elegant: For a hotel in the center of such a big city, the rooms are surprisingly spacious. The well-equipped rooms with modern furniture that shows almost no wear, and a matching wall color scheme, makes you feel welcome.
Views: The rooms offer beautiful views over Ho Chi Minh City’s ever-changing skyline, which is beautifully lit up at night, and offers a constant reminder of your central location.
Modern Amenities: The room is equipped with a smart TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a minibar. The bathroom has a rainfall showerhead, bathrobes, and quality toiletries. Two bottles of water are provided every day.
Reload Pantry: A unique feature that we highly appreciated is the ‘Reload Pantry’ on each floor. It is stocked daily with complimentary snacks, barista coffee, and a water menu. This is a fantastic perk for a quick bite or a caffeine fix anytime.
Facilities: Elevating Your Stay
The hotel's facilities are designed to enhance both relaxation and productivity:
Rooftop Pool: The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, complete with sun loungers and a tranquil garden area. It is the perfect spot to unwind and escape the urban heat.
Wellness Centre & Gym: Guests receive complimentary access to the state-of-the-art California Centuryon Fitness, featuring modern fitness equipment and even an additional pool. There is also a full-service spa available for pampering.
Restaurant: The hotel has its own restaurant, which we did not use.
Breakfast: Complimentary breakfast is served buffet-style, with an optional Vietnamese breakfast that the staff will prepare for you.
Service: Attentive and Professional
The staff at Fusion Original Saigon Centre is fantastic. They are very friendly, super polite, and try to help as good as they can and as fast as possible. Also, the hotel is super clean.
Overall Impression
Fusion Original Saigon Centre is an excellent choice for travelers who prioritize location, modern amenities, and a stylish, engaging atmosphere in Ho Chi Minh City. Its integration within a major higher-end shopping mall and proximity to key attractions make it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are high enough in the building so that you will not be bothered by any noise.
If you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a business professional, this hotel truly offers a unique and refined urban escape.
We highly recommend it!
