Virgin Holidays View
Situated in the quieter Cholon (Chinatown) district of Ho Chi Minh, this hotel is ideal if you are looking for a more relaxing base after the demands of the city. Offering a very welcoming outdoor swimming pool, which has a children’s section and a sunken pool bar, this is a refreshing way to wake up before venturing out into the hot busy city. Boasting it’s own award-winning restaurant, the Orientica serves fusion food and has the only Teppanyaki counter in Ho Chi Minh. A conceptual venue, with fire, water and ice ‘bars’ where you can see some very spectacular food preparations right in front of you. Rooms are well-appointed and elegantly designed with attention to detail for the utmost comfort of its guests. Numerous facilities complement the hotel. For relaxation, try a massage or beauty treatment at the spa, or there is a fully-equipped fitness centre, with personal trainers available, for your gym-fix. A unique addition to the Equatorial is The O.V. Club, with highlights including a spacious lounge with a full bar, slot machines, nightly live music and karaoke rooms.
