Caravelle is a contemporary, highly comfortable oasis in the heart of this thriving metropolis.

Built in 1959, the hotel was a popular haunt for foreign journalists reporting on the Vietnam War. The Caravelle has an excellent location in the city’s District 1, opposite the Opera House and within walking distance of cultural and historical attractions including Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City Museum, the Reunification Palace, City Hall, and the War Remnants Museum.

Guest areas include an elegant gourmet restaurant, 'Reflections', which offers fine dining with a five course dinner menu spanning international and Vietnamese cuisine. Note a smart casual dress code applies. ‘Nineteen’ is a buffet style restaurant, especially popular for its meat and seafood specialities, and its excellent breakfasts. There is an all-day tapas bar serving light meals, whilst the hotel’s elegant café offers light meals throughout the day, including traditional afternoon tea. Caravelle’s iconic rooftop bar boasts stunning views of the city’s skyline, and is a great venue for a sundowner. The hotel also has a champagne bar and 24 hour in-room dining is available.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.

The accommodation comprises 335 stylish, contemporary rooms and suites.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
