The real draw here is the unparalleled views, so ask for a room on the Mekong/sunset side, where you can enjoy the scenery from your own small balcony.
DK Eyewitness "This 14-story edifice built on an island in the Mekong is the tallest building in the country with rooms that offer spectacular views of the city."
Lonely Planet "On an island in the Mekong believed to be home to a powerful naga, this gargantuan monstrosity was built for the Asean conference in 2004." Full review
