The Myst Dong Khoi – A journey to the heart of Saigon

As the official accommodation partner for the semi-final and final rounds of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 competition, The Myst Dong Khoi has offered the Top 41 contestants a journey into the heart of Saigon.

"Unique, warm, and luxurious" are the impressions that the contestants of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 competition used to describe The Myst during their stay and participation in events at the hotel. Unlike standardized 5-star hotels in the hospitality industry, The Myst Dong Khoi's appeal to visitors lies in the fact that the hotel is built with a "creative craftsmanship" mindset. It is a collection of outstanding architectural ideas and interior design that reproduces the lifestyle of old Saigon. Pride and love for Saigon are intertwined in every detail and corner.

Amidst the towering glass-clad skyscrapers in the center of Saigon, The Myst Dong Khoi stands out like an art installation with intertwined lattice windows covered by lush green climbing plants. Upon entering the hotel lobby, the contestants are welcomed with friendly smiles, a characteristic feature of Saigonese people. Anyone stopping in this area cannot help but be impressed by the century-old primitive anchor of the famous Ba Son port, the red-tiled roof, a collection of paintings by talented Vietnamese artists, to the familiar flower-laden boat of Ben Binh Dong. The image of old Saigon comes to life through every interior detail at the hotel, with vibrant and soulful decorative items, invoking a chain of memories of those who contributed to building and dreaming about Saigon. The Myst seems to open the doors of time, welcoming everyone and retelling them the memories of a vibrant and unforgettable Saigon.

Contestants of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 competition shared that the pressures from the competition were somewhat eased during their stay at the hotel. The journey to the hotel rooms is a unique experience as The Myst recreates the charm of the alleys of Saigon. The rooms simulate houses lined up closely along a small alley. Although it is a boutique hotel, The Myst's rooms are truly overwhelming with extremely spacious and airy interiors.

Especially, all rooms at The Myst have an outdoor garden with a jacuzzi pond covered with lush greenery. The rooms are built following the architectural style of old Saigon, and the furnishings are mostly handmade with a nostalgic touch; however, everything is arranged very conveniently, suitable for modern living. Just close the door, and all the hustle and bustle are left outside, allowing guests to enjoy peace, tranquility, and a peaceful sleep on the 5-star standard bed.

The contestants also mentioned that The Myst has many impressive scenes suitable for confident catwalks, whether it's Bason Café, The Nest restaurant, the Bar Bleu lounge area, or the rooftop pool.

The contestants of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 competition love The Myst even more when they learn that the investor behind The Myst is a famous female entrepreneur in Saigon. This is also a practical role model and additional motivation for the girls on their journey to demonstrate the courage of Vietnamese women – a Vinawoman who is not only beautiful and talented but also determined to overcome difficulties to achieve her dreams."
