Hotel Nikko Saigon — five-star in District 1

Hotel Nikko Saigon is an international five-star hotel with about 334 rooms in a 23-storey tower. Its strengths are the meticulous service and cleanliness typical of the Japanese Nikko brand, plus the Cantonese restaurant Ming Court, an outdoor pool, and a spa and fitness centre. It's a short drive from Ben Thanh Market and downtown sights — a great base for pairing golf with city sightseeing.

Golf groups usually have a hearty breakfast before heading out the morning after a round, so at check-in it helps to confirm breakfast hours and pickup time together.

Want to stay near the airport? — Hotel EquatorialIf your itinerary centres on the same-day Tan Son Nhat night round, Hotel Equatorial Ho Chi Minh (5-star) is logistically handy, sitting close to the airport and courses — about 25 minutes to the airport and 8 to the commercial centre, a favourite of golf groups. Hotels can vary by package, so check your booking.

Standard check-in is usually 14:00 and check-out 12:00. If you arrive in the morning before the room is ready, store your bags and use the pool/lounge until your room is up. Vietnamese hotel sockets are typically 220V multi-type, so Thai plugs fit fine.
