Silverland Mây Hotel Guide: A 4-Star Boutique Stay With a 150 m² Rooftop Pool

Silverland Mây is a 4-star boutique hotel in central Saigon: 144 rooms at 28–30 Thi Sách Street in District 1, built around a 150 m² open-air pool on the 14th floor and a complimentary afternoon tea served every day. It is a mid-range choice that Tripadvisor travellers named a Travellers’ Choice 2026 hotel, and it is often the first Silverland property couples and slow travellers shortlist. What earns that ranking isn’t any single feature so much as an unhurried, quietly romantic atmosphere that’s hard to find in a city that rarely slows down.

If you’re still comparing pools across the city, our rooftop pool hotel Saigon guide covers pool size, hours and outside-visitor access in detail. This guide is about the hotel itself and what makes Silverland Mây distinct: who it is, where it sits, its design and atmosphere, the rooms, the rooftop pool, wellness, and what a stay here actually feels like day to day.

Silverland Mây at a Glance: A 4-Star Boutique Hotel in District 1

Silverland Mây opened in 2023 as part of the Silverland Hospitality group: a 4-star boutique hotel built around a 150 m² rooftop pool, a complimentary afternoon tea guests specifically return for, rooms named after flowers and plants, and an evening lobby atmosphere with live music, warm light, and the hum of the city below, where staying in feels like its own kind of night out.

Guests often mention being remembered by name by their second day, which says more about the service culture here than any amenity list could.

Where Silverland Mây Is: Thi Sách Street, District 1

Silverland Mây sits at 28–30 Thi Sách Street, a short walk from District 1’s Japan Town, a compact grid of streets packed with Japanese and Korean restaurants, izakayas, and late-night noodle counters, all within a two- to five-minute walk. It’s a neighbourhood that rewards wandering after dinner rather than a strip you pass through once.

From the hotel, Notre-Dame Cathedral is about 0.7 km on foot (10 minutes) and Bến Thành Market about 1.1 km (15 minutes), according to Google Maps: close enough to explore on foot, far enough from the busiest tourist strips to stay genuinely calm in the evenings. For guests who want a base that’s both central and quiet, that combination is harder to find than the map suggests. Our 24-hour guide to Silverland Mây maps out how a full day here can unfold, from a morning swim to a nightcap on the rooftop, and our Ho Chi Minh City travel guide covers what to explore beyond the neighbourhood.

Design and Atmosphere: Neoclassical Elegance in Central Saigon

Walk in from the noise of Thi Sách Street and the first thing you notice is how quiet it suddenly feels. Silverland Mây is built on a kind of romantic stillness: soft light, unhurried pace, and the sense of a city humming somewhere below rather than in the room with you, right in the middle of District 1. The design is neoclassical at its bones, but reworked with a lighter, more contemporary hand. The arches, the proportions, and the sense of grandeur all nod to old Saigon, while the materials, the furniture, and the palette feel entirely of today. It reads less like a period piece and more like an old photograph brought back in colour.

That old-Saigon character isn’t just decorative. It’s written into the hotel’s name: Mây means “cloud” in Vietnamese, a fitting name for a hotel whose best-known space sits 14 floors above the street. The same sense of place runs through Gòn Restaurant on the 1st floor and carries all the way into the room names upstairs, each one borrowed from a different flower or plant with a connection to Saigon.

It’s a small piece of storytelling, but a consistent one, and it’s very likely part of why so many couples end up choosing Silverland Mây for anniversaries and honeymoons over hotels with more conventional five-star polish.

That’s not the whole audience, though. Families find the lobby easy to settle into with children in tow, solo travellers use it as a calm base between days out, and business guests appreciate a lobby that doesn’t feel like one. The same restraint that reads as romantic to a couple reads as simply restful to everyone else.

Rooms at Silverland Mây: Named After Saigon’s Flowers and Plants

Bougainvillaea Signature: For Couples and Honeymoon Stays

The Bougainvillaea Signature rooms are the hotel’s top category, with a private balcony and a freestanding bathtub positioned to look toward the pool level, aimed squarely at honeymoon stays and couples.

The Suite Double: Room to Spread Out

The Suite Double offers a larger layout with a separate sitting area, still built around the same warm materials and soft lighting found throughout the hotel. Across every category, the design favours natural textures and gentle colour palettes over anything that reads as generic 4-star boutique.

More Room Categories, More Kinds of Stay

Bougainvillaea and The Suite Double are the two categories most couples ask about, but they’re far from the whole picture. Silverland Mây also carries Narra Double, Narra Twin No Window, Cassia, Khaya, Flamboyant, Green Papaya, and The Suite Family No Window, each named after a different flower or plant (the story behind each name is in our guide to why Silverland Mây’s rooms are named after Saigon’s flowers and plants), and each built for a different kind of trip.

Twin layouts suit friends travelling together or family members sharing a room. No-window categories suit guests who mainly want a well-priced, quiet base between days out. The family-sized Suite gives a larger group room to spread out. Put together, it’s a wider range than the hotel’s romantic reputation might suggest, and a large part of why Silverland Mây works for so many different kinds of travellers, not just couples.

Every room includes a minibar restocked daily at no charge (two bottles of water, a Fanta, and a winter melon tea, plus instant coffee and tea on the desk) along with a welcome fruit plate that varies by room category.

Maya Rooftop Pool: 150 m² on the 14th Floor

As a hotel with a rooftop pool in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1, Silverland Mây puts its signature feature on the 14th floor: the Maya Rooftop Pool Bar, a genuine, open-air 150 m² swimming pool large enough to actually swim in rather than just photograph. The pool is open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM; the bar beside it stays open until 1:00 AM, looking out over an unobstructed stretch of District 1’s skyline.

In a city with no shortage of rooftop bars, a hotel with an actual pool attached, at a boutique, non-five-star price point, is rarer than it sounds. Mornings here are quiet; by late afternoon, guests return from sightseeing to unwind before the bar fills in for the evening. Cocktails, wine, and light food are served poolside, and at golden hour, with the skyline stretching out below, it delivers a version of “chill in the middle of Saigon” that’s genuinely hard to find at this level of intimacy.

Wellness Beside the Rooftop Pool: KL Spa, Sauna, and Steam Bath

Silverland Mây’s wellness facilities sit alongside the rooftop pool rather than tucked away in a basement. KL Spa, on the 12A floor, is open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM (last appointment 9:00 PM for 60-minute treatments), offering massage (Swedish, Thai, hot stone, Vietnamese traditional, and a signature KL blend of Thai, Shiatsu, and Swedish techniques) along with facial care, body scrubs and wraps, and foot reflexology.

The gym, sauna, and steam bath are open daily (gym from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, sauna and steam bath from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM) at no charge for staying guests. With the rooftop pool one floor up, a guest can go from a swim to a sauna to a massage without leaving the building, a setup that’s genuinely rare for a boutique hotel this size.

What’s Included in a Stay at Silverland Mây

Several things that other hotels charge extra for come standard here, and together they shape what a stay at Silverland Mây actually feels like day to day. The full list is in our guide to the complimentary experiences at Silverland Mây; the highlights are below.

Afternoon tea runs daily from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM and is included for every staying guest: tea, coffee, juice, and a rotating spread of sweet and savoury pastries that changes daily to stay fresh. It’s one of the most-mentioned details in guest reviews, not because afternoon tea itself is unusual for a hotel, but because guests notice when it’s offered without feeling like an upsell.

Breakfast and casual dining run through two outlets: Bason Café, on Thi Sách Street, serving Vietnamese coffee, tea, and pastries from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM with a 10% discount for staying guests; and Gòn Restaurant, on the 1st floor, handling the breakfast buffet (6:00–10:00 AM, a rotating mix of Vietnamese and Western dishes) and à la carte service, with the same kitchen also supplying the Maya Rooftop Pool Bar menu upstairs.

The daily minibar restock and welcome fruit plate are included across all room categories at no charge. Airport transfers are available on request: some direct-booking promotions on silverlandhotels.com include a free airport transfer for stays of 2 nights or more; outside those promotions, transfers are charged.

• Afternoon tea, 2:00–3:30 PM, included daily
• Minibar restocked daily, no charge
• WiFi throughout the hotel, no charge
• Sauna and steam bath access, no charge
• Best-rate guarantee when booking direct

Who Silverland Mây Suits, and Who It Doesn’t

The rooftop pool, the afternoon tea, and the Bougainvillaea Signature rooms are the reason Silverland Mây’s reputation with couples runs so deep. It’s designed around that guest first. But between the wider room selection and the warm, unhurried service, the hotel holds up just as well for solo travellers after a calm base, small groups of friends, families, and business guests who’d rather unwind at a rooftop pool than a hotel bar.

If what you want from a rooftop pool hotel in Saigon is a pool you can actually swim in, a quiet boutique stay, and Japanese and Korean dining a short walk away, it’s a strong fit; if the loyalty perks of a five-star international chain matter most to you, it isn’t trying to be that.

Booking direct at silverlandhotels.com carries advantages beyond price: a best-rate guarantee, seasonal offers that can include a free airport transfer for stays of 2 nights or more, and the ability to confirm details directly with the hotel ahead of arrival, such as decorations for an anniversary or birthday, dietary notes for afternoon tea, or an early check-in request.
