Description
No one can miss the 14 storey, huge monolith that occupies a sandbank in the middle of the Mekong River at the southeast corner of the city. This controversial, Malaysian-owned hotel has a 50 year lease on the embankment and plans are to build a large shopping centre and supermarket on the space next to the hotel. It's firmly aimed at the mass tourist industry and the business community, as well as trying to offer catering and banquet facilities for weddings and other special events. Guests can choose from river or city views and enjoy the many facilities the hotel has to offer such as a sauna, steam room, swimming pool, fitness centre and spa. The rooms are all you'd expect of a hotel of this standard. Brightly coloured silks and expensive furniture abound and those on the upper floors have quite stunning views. The staff are all professional and helpful but perhaps a bit thin on the ground, especially when the hotel is inundated with new arrivals. The swimming pool and fitness centre are open to the public and they also offer breakfast and lunch deals which include use of the facilities. At $8 and $10 per person, these are actually pretty good value. Check online for substantial discounts off the rackrates below.
