Request third-floor deluxe rooms overlooking the Municipal Theater, which have terrific views from the narrow, New Orleansstyle wrought iron balconies.
Insight Guides "The antithesis of Ho Chi Minh City’s slick and modern downtown hotels, the charming, historic Continental has a to-die-for location."

DK Eyewitness "One of the most atmospheric hotels in Vietnam, the Continental Hotel is a sight in its own right, featuring classic French-colonial architecture, with arched windows and terraces."
