As a harmonious combination of contemporary art and local culture, Le Märidien Saigon bears the true distinctions of Saigon. The hotel is located just some steps from Saigon river. This is also the reason why up to 80% furnishing items in the hotel are related to the river. They are the familiar images of small boats and sails, paper fishes, rustic houses on riverbanks and paper cranes, the Oriental symbol for luck and prosperity. It’s quite surprising when seeing familiar names such as Saigon, Khanh Hoi, Tan Thuan, Hiep Phuoc and Ben Nghe which represent the banquet and conference rooms here. Le Märidien Saigon also offers the Unlock Art, a program in which hotels and resorts of Le Märidien cooperate with leading culture centers in areas they are present to organize events to help visitors explore interesting things about their destinations. Fusion style with various delicious dishes is one of the hotel’s strengths. At Bamboo Chic Restaurant, guests will have an opportunity to enjoy a unique and classy fusion cuisine with the perfect combination of two great cuisines, Chinese and Japanese. Your Christmas night would be greater with wok fried Udon noodles with Canadian lobster and miso braised beef cheek with caramelized onion. Seared scallop is a clever combination of ingredients and cooking techniques from China and Japan with European and US highlights. Visit and experience a new Saigon with all its influences at Märidien.
