Picking the best area to stay in Ho Chi Minh City decides more of your trip than the hotel itself does. Book into the wrong district and every day starts with a 25-minute Grab ride before you’ve even had coffee. Book into the right one, and the city’s best food, sights, and nightlife are a […]

JETRO logged 576 meetings, business inquiries, and trade promotion activities between Japanese companies and Ho Chi Minh City in the first half of 2026 alone, and a large share of the travelers behind those numbers end up booking a Japanese business hotel Ho Chi Minh City property inside one specific pocket of District 1: Little […]
