Silverland Ben Thanh Hotel
Home Destinations Silverland Ben Thanh Hotel
Silverland Ben Thanh Hotel is a contemporary four-star boutique hotel beside Ben Thanh Market in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City's District 1. The property combines 109 rooms across seven categories with rooftop dining and swimming, wellness facilities and an exceptionally convenient position for discovering central Saigon on foot or by metro.
Rather than relying on conventional international-hotel styling, Silverland Ben Thanh has been conceived as an urban retreat influenced by the life and culture surrounding the historic market. This gives the property a stronger sense of local identity while retaining the practical comforts required for sightseeing, business trips and short city stays.
The hotel's architecture, created with input from A21Studio, uses asymmetrical forms, curved passageways and large arched windows to create an intentionally unconventional urban design. Textile artworks and decorative details reference the clothes, fabrics and everyday activity associated with traders around nearby Ben Thanh Market.
Warm timber furniture and softly textured interiors balance the more sculptural architecture, while natural light is emphasised throughout many of the guestrooms. The result is contemporary and design-conscious without becoming overly formal, reflecting the energy of central Saigon while providing a calmer environment within the hotel.
Accommodation begins with 28-square-metre Spring Field rooms, which have no external window, while Sunshine Garden rooms provide approximately 26 square metres and large windows with natural light. Signature Ben Thanh rooms measure around 28 square metres and overlook the landmark market, making them particularly appealing for guests wanting a strong sense of location.
Sense City rooms increase the space to approximately 38 square metres, while 42-square-metre Sense City Family rooms combine a king and single bed for three guests. Splendid rooms provide around 28 square metres with views towards Ben Thanh Market and a bathtub, while the 35-square-metre Square Suite features oversized curved windows overlooking the central square.
Smith's Kitchen & Bar occupies the 12th floor and combines panoramic city views with an open contemporary design inspired by traditional metal craftsmanship. It serves the hotel's daily buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch and dinner and an afternoon high-tea buffet for resident guests.
At ground level, Bason Café Ben Thanh provides a more casual setting for Vietnamese and international coffee and tea, pastries and refreshments. Its street-facing position captures the movement of the surrounding Ben Thanh neighbourhood, while the extensive restaurants and street-food choices of central District 1 are immediately accessible outside the hotel.
The hotel's standout leisure feature is its 12th-floor rooftop overflow swimming pool, with an adjoining sunbathing area and elevated views across the central Ho Chi Minh City skyline towards landmarks including Bitexco Financial Tower. The setting provides an appealing retreat from the heat and activity of the streets below.
A fitness centre on the 11th floor provides modern exercise equipment, while additional guest services include transport assistance and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hotel's central position is itself a major part of the experience, allowing guests to move easily between markets, museums, shopping streets, restaurants and the wider attractions of District 1.
KL Spa offers a dedicated retreat from the energy of Ben Thanh, combining traditional therapeutic techniques with contemporary wellness treatments. Its services include massage therapies and nail care, providing convenient opportunities for relaxation without leaving the hotel.
Further wellness facilities on the 11th floor include a sauna, steam bath and jacuzzi foot bath, complementing the rooftop pool and fitness centre. Together they give this relatively compact boutique hotel a more comprehensive leisure offering than many similarly positioned central-city properties.
Silverland Ben Thanh Hotel is located at 14–16 Le Lai Street in Ben Thanh, approximately 50 metres from the main entrance of Ben Thanh Market. Ben Thanh Metro Station on Line 1 is directly opposite the hotel, placing one of Ho Chi Minh City's principal transport connections within around a minute's walk.
The location provides straightforward access to the wider centre, including Nguyen Hue Walking Street, museums, shopping areas and the Saigon River district. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is approximately 7 kilometres away, with the hotel estimating a road transfer of around 30 minutes depending on traffic.
Silverland Ben Thanh received three distinctions at the World Luxury Awards 2024: Luxury Destination Hotel – Asia, Luxury Design Boutique Hotel – Southeast Asia and Best Architectural Design Hotel – Southeast Asia. The awards particularly reinforce the importance of design and location within the hotel's overall positioning.
