Luxury Ho Chi Minh City Haven: 2BR, 2WC Landmark Plus Paradise!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, slightly overwhelming, and utterly captivating world of Luxury Ho Chi Minh City Haven: 2BR, 2WC Landmark Plus Paradise! – and you're along for the ride. Forget those polished, robotic hotel reviews. This is real life. Expect the good, the bad, and the slightly caffeinated.
First Impressions (and the Struggle is Real)
Alright, so picture this: You've just survived the whirlwind that is Ho Chi Minh City airport (seriously, those motorbike swarms are a contact sport!). Finally, finally, you arrive at this "Landmark Plus Paradise" and… breathe. This place is INTENSE. It's a skyscraper, so the accessibility to the lobby and elevators were top-notch, which was immediately a relief. It's always reassuring after a long flight, you know? I, personally, wouldn't call the entrance a "paradise" at first glance; it has all the bells and whistles: Doorman (thank goodness), Front desk [24-hour] (essential!), and that classic hotel-y air. Then I saw the sheer number of CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property, and my inner worrier immediately felt a bit calmer. But hey, a luxury hotel, especially in a bustling city needs that.
The Check-in/out [express] option is a godsend if you're in a hurry and tired after a long flight. Although I love a good chat with a concierge. This place has both, and the concierges are genuinely helpful, a real plus!
Rooms: Sanctuary or Just Another Room? (Spoiler: It's Sanctuary)
Okay, let's talk room, because that's where the magic happens, right? Well, the 2BR, 2WC is a godsend. Seriously. Having two bathrooms when you're traveling with, say, a partner who takes ages (ahem) is worth its weight in gold.
My room itself was a haven. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Double check. Because jet lag is a beast, and these babies helped me block out the chaos and get some much-needed sleep. The extra-long bed was heavenly – I could starfish without fear of dangling a limb off the edge. The linens were crisp and clean, and the whole place smelled of that fresh, "this-is-luxury" scent.
There’s a desk if I needed to get some work done (I didn’t, but nice to have the option). Oh, and the window that opens! Breathe! Not just the usual sealed-shut hotel window. It’s a small thing, but I’m telling you, it made a difference. The little touches, like the complimentary tea and coffee, the mini bar (tempting, but expensive!), and the free bottled water (hydration is key!) all added up.
I loved the bathrobes and slippers. I felt like a pampered movie star. And the safe box was big enough to securely store my passport and valuables.
The Internet Saga (Because No One Can Live Without It)
Let's get real. You need internet. We all do. My experience was mostly positive. There's free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, and Internet access – wireless is provided. Bonus points for Internet access – LAN (for the tech-savvy). I never lost my connection but on some occasions, the speed was a little spotty, but overall, it was generally good. There's also Wi-Fi for special events.
Food, Glorious Food (And the Occasional Hangry Meltdown)
Okay, now we're talking! Let's get to the food. The hotel boasts some pretty impressive dining options. They offer A la carte in restaurant, and a Buffet in restaurant, but I would have loved it if the hotel also offers a 24-hour restaurant.
The Asian breakfast was a MUST-TRY. Forget the soggy cereal and lukewarm eggs of your youth. This was the real deal: fresh pho, fragrant rice dishes, and enough fruit to make you feel virtuous. The Western breakfast was pretty good too, offering options to those who prefer a more familiar start to the day. The restaurants themselves were generally great. I can’t fault the Asian cuisine in restaurant as the flavors were authentic.
There is also a coffee shop, which is great for a quick caffeine fix.
Now, back to my slight hangriness. I ordered Room service [24-hour] at 2am one night. I was craving a burger. It never happened. But hey! Not everything is going to be perfect, eh? So that's just one tiny hiccup.
Ways to Relax (And Pretend to Be A Millionaire)
This is where this hotel really shines. They have it all:
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: The pool is beautiful, with great views. I spent a couple of hours just floating around, pretending I could afford that lifestyle. (It's a short-lived daydream, but hey).
- Pool with view: Because why not?
- Gym/fitness: Okay, I didn't actually go to the gym. The hotel’s Fitness center and Sauna looked pretty swanky.
- Spa, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath: The spa is amazing. I had the most incredible massage. (And yes, that kind of massage where you feel like you're melting into a pile of blissful goo). The Spa/sauna is absolutely luxurious.
- Steamroom: Yes, I am all in for the Steamroom.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Sigh of Relief
I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so this is important. And Luxury Ho Chi Minh City Haven gets it right.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Check.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere? You bet!
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Yes!
I felt genuinely safe and well cared for.
Accessibility: Making Life Easier
The hotel is good on accessibility. Facilities for disabled guests.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Concierge: Utterly invaluable.
- Cash withdrawal: Always handy.
- Currency exchange: A lifesaver.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was always spotless.
- Laundry service and Dry cleaning: Crucial for those "oops, spilled coffee down the front of my shirt" moments.
- Food delivery: The hotel has it.
For the Kids (and the Adults Who Want a Break)
- Babysitting service and Family/child-friendly environment.
Final Verdict: Worth the Splurge?
Yes. Without a doubt.
The Quirks (Because No Place is Perfect):
- Noise from the lively neighborhood (some rooms might be more susceptible to this than others).
- The very occasional communication hiccup (but nothing major).
My Emotional Reaction:
I loved it. I really, truly loved it. I felt pampered, relaxed, and ready to take on the madness of Ho Chi Minh City. It’s the perfect urban retreat.

Luxury Thames-Side Apartment Near Excel: Skyvillion Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Vietnam, specifically to a sprawling apartment in Landmark Plus LP, and let's be honest, I'm mostly going to be operating on "vibes" and the vague notion of "adventure." This is going to be glorious, chaotic, and probably involve a lot of iced coffee.
ITINERARY: Ho Chi Minh City – The City of a Million Scooters (and My Sanity?)
Day 1: Arrival – Jet Lagged & Judged (Probably by a Gecko)
- Morning (Or What Passes for it After 20 Hours in the Air): Arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN). Pray to the travel gods that my luggage made it. Honestly, I feel like a zombie. The air is thick, warm, and smells faintly of… everything. Disembarkation feels like entering a human cattle chute.
- Transportation: Taxi to Landmark Plus LP. Negotiating the price with the driver is a sport in itself. Already sweating profusely. This heat is NOT my friend. I swear, the guy tried to rip me off - I’m pretty sure he saw the "new to Vietnam" sign plastered across my forehead.
- Afternoon: Apartment Awesomeness and Initial Panic:
- Check into the two-bedroom apartment. Holy moly, this place is HUGE! Two bedrooms, two WCs (thank the lord!), balcony with a view… feeling like a minor celebrity. Honestly, the view (probably of other apartment buildings) is underwhelming.
- First Impressions: I need coffee. And maybe a nap. Definitely a nap. The balcony is calling, though – gotta soak it all in. Wait…is that a gecko? Please don’t eat me, little dude.
- Unexpected Disaster: Try to unpack. Realize I forgot my toothbrush. Cue the existential dread. Guess I'll be buying one of those sad, plastic-bristled ones from the local market.
- Evening:
- Food Adventure #1: Street Food Initiation. Venture out in search of something delicious and not-too-questionable. I'm thinking Pho. Or Banh Mi. Or both. Probably both. The scooters are terrifying. I’m pretty sure the drivers are telepathic.
- Anecdote: Found a Pho place with a queue out the door. Risked it. Ate the best Pho of my life. My taste buds are currently doing a happy dance. Seriously, how is something so simple so unbelievably good?
- Debrief at the Apartment: Crash and burn. Watch some truly atrocious Vietnamese television – subtitles definitely needed, but not necessarily helpful. Attempt to send a postcard to my mum. Will manage to get it wrong for sure.
- Emotional Reaction: Overwhelmed, exhilarated, and slightly terrified, but in a good way. The city is a sensory overload, but I love it already.
Day 2: History, Hustle, & Holy Cow (That Traffic!)
- Morning:
- The War Remnants Museum: Prepare for some serious feels. This will be tough, but important. I expect to be moved, challenged, and probably deeply saddened, but I also hope to leave with a better understanding of Vietnam's history.
- Opinionated Rant: The sheer volume of weaponry is staggering. The exhibits are detailed, and the museum itself is small, but the message is powerful and horrifying. It will stay with me forever.
- The Reunification Palace: Gaze at the former Presidential Palace and ponder the absurdity of power. Maybe pretend I’m a spy.
- Afternoon: Central Market & Shopping – Bargaining Battles & Buyer’s Remorse (Possibly)
- Ben Thanh Market: Brace yourself. This is sensory overload, Part II. Bargaining skills activated. Deep breaths. Don't buy the first thing you see. Or the second. Or the third… Wait, I think I just overpaid for a dodgy-looking t-shirt. Regrets.
- Quirky Observation: The vendors are relentless. It’s a dance – a chaotic, hilarious dance of negotiation.
- Evening:
- Food Adventure #2: Cooking Class – Attempting to Not Totally Screw Up Vietnamese Cuisine: Learn to make spring rolls, and maybe try not to set the kitchen on fire. Wish me luck. I am cooking-challenged!.
- Stream of Consciousness: Sliced lemongrass and chili like a pro…or at least, I think so…The fish sauce smells… interesting. Is that a… cockroach? Just kidding, I think…I hope… I did manage to make something edible though. Maybe.
- Nightlife Ramble: Explore the area around the apartment and watch the world go by. Attempt to keep up with the locals on a motorbike. Fail spectacularly.
Day 3: The Unexpected & The Unavoidable (Plus Coffee, Obviously)
- Morning:
- Wander Time: Explore the neighborhood around the Landmark Plus LP. Get gloriously lost. Discover hidden alleyways, tiny cafes, and maybe, just maybe, a decent coffee shop.
- Opinionated Language: I really want to find a place to get a good espresso; the coffee here is strong, but the quality is often less than stellar. I will not give up on the search.
- Afternoon: Cholon (Chinatown).
- Explore the colorful streets and visit the Binh Tay Market. Soak in the atmosphere and get a sense of the city's diverse cultural influences.
- Evening:
- Food Adventure #3: Rooftop Dinner with a View. Find a rooftop restaurant, preferably with decent food and a panorama of the city. Attempt to look cultured and sophisticated while eating something delicious.
- Emotional Reaction: Feel a sense of accomplishment. Survived more than 48 hours in the city!
- Messier Structure: Consider another drink. Maybe. Possibly. Definitely.
- Rambling: Think about Vietnam’s history. Ponder my life decisions. Wonder if the gecko is still watching.
Day 4: Day Trip Day & Departure (Tears? Probably.)
- Morning:
- Option 1: Cu Chi Tunnels: This is a must-see. Learn how the Vietnamese people survived the war.
- Option 2: Mekong Delta: Take a day trip to the Mekong Delta. Boat rides, coconuts, and hopefully, not too many mosquitos.
- Doubling Down on an Experience: I'm going to opt for the Cu Chi Tunnels. I have a feeling it’s going to be an experience I will never forget. I'm a little nervous about the claustrophobia, but I'm ready to face my fears.
- Afternoon:
- Return to the Apartment and Pack Sadness begins to creep in. Only after spending time to familiarize with the landmark plus LP can only imagine how I will miss here and this beautiful country.
- Evening:
- Farewell Dinner: Enjoy a final meal in the city.
- Emotional Reaction: Feeling bittersweet. Ready to go home, but also already missing the chaos, the beauty, and the delicious food.
- Messier Structure: Say goodbye to the gecko?
- Transportation: Taxi to Tan Son Nhat International Airport. Say final goodbye to the city.
Final Thoughts and Imperfections:
This itinerary is a guideline, not a prison. I’m going to embrace the chaos, the unexpected, and the inevitable screw-ups. I’m going to get lost, eat something I shouldn’t, and probably embarrass myself on multiple occasions. But I’m also going to experience something amazing, learn something new, and make memories that will (hopefully) last a lifetime.
And if you see me, wearing a dodgy t-shirt, covered in sweat, and negotiating for a ridiculously cheap mango, come say hi. I'll probably need a friend. And maybe some more coffee. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
Mumbai's Hidden Gem: FabHotel Shubham Inn Near Jain Mandir!
Alright, Let's Get Real: Your Burning Questions (and My Rambling Answers) About the "Luxury Ho Chi Minh City Haven" – Because Seriously, What *Is* Luxury Anyway?
1. Okay, "Luxury." What's the Deal? Is This Place Actually, You Know, *Nice*?
Nice? Oh, it's *nice*. Like, "I could actually live here" nice. The "Landmark Plus Paradise" tagline? A little… optimistic, maybe. The view? Stunning. Okay, *that* part delivers. You're staring out at the city, sure, but also the river, and the boats… it's like a postcard, except you're actively *in* the postcard. My first thought? "Wow, I could actually *enjoy* doing the dishes in that kitchen." (Important metric, people!) The décor… well, it's modern. Clean lines. Maybe a *little* sterile for my taste? But hey, I'm a maximalist at heart, so take that with a grain of salt. Is it worth the price tag? Depends. Are you used to a certain level of… well, privilege? (I'm not. My bank account weeps. But still, I'm happy here.)
2. Two Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms. Sounds Spacious. What About the Actual *Space*?
Spacious is the word! Coming from my shoebox apartment back home, I felt like I could actually *breathe*. The living room is huge, and the bedrooms are both decent sizes. One bathroom is en suite, which is brilliant. Because, let's be honest, coordinating bathroom time in a shared apartment… pure chaos. The second bathroom? Well-placed, for when the aforementioned chaos inevitably erupts. Seriously, I kept wandering around, disoriented by all the space. My partner kept yelling "STOP GETTING LOST!" Which, fair. But still… space! It's glorious. And, bonus points, the closets are actually big enough to hold *all* my ridiculous travel wardrobe. Win.
3. The Location: "Landmark Plus." Where *Exactly* Are We Talking? Is it Convenient?
Landmark 81, baby! The tallest building in Vietnam. You can't miss it. Convenient? YES. Absolutely. Okay, *walkability* varies. You're close to some great restaurants and shops. Street food is readily available (though, let me warn you, my stomach experienced some immediate 'adjustment' needed. The first few days were… a roller coaster of digestive distress. Thank goodness for the plentiful (and efficient) pharmacies.) Getting around? Taxis are everywhere. Grab bikes are on point! So, yeah, you're well-connected. I wouldn’t describe it as ‘quintessentially Vietnamese’ in spirit. But! If you *are* trying to relax…it offers peace, and the perfect escape.
4. Amenities! What's the Pool/Gym/Other Shiny Things Situation?
Oh, the amenities. Let's be honest, this is where the "luxury" really shines. The pool? Stunning. Infinity pool with views of the city. It's the perfect place to sip a ridiculously overpriced cocktail and pretend you're effortlessly glamorous. (Spoiler alert: I definitely am not. I'm the one spilling my drink and awkwardly trying to make small talk with the bronzed fitness models.) The gym? Top-notch. I attempted to use it. For about 15 minutes. Then I realized I was on vacation and promptly retreated to the pool. They have a spa, too, which is… tempting. But, you know, priorities. Pool. Cocktails. Repeat. There’s also a supermarket in the ground floor, which is convenient (especially after that cocktail-related wobble).
5. The View – Everyone Keeps Talking About It. Is it *Really* That Amazing?
Okay, look. I’ve seen some views in my time. From Mount Fuji, to the Eiffel Tower… But this. This is something else. From the apartment? Incredible. From the infinity pool? Mind-blowing. During the day, you can see the whole city sprawling out before you, the river winding its way through the urban jungle. At night? The city *explodes* into a glittering tapestry of lights. It's romantic, it's dramatic, it's… well, it's Instagrammable. And I say that with absolutely no shame. I took at least a hundred pictures. The sunsets! Forget about it. Seriously. The sunsets are worth the price of admission alone. I'd happily spend my life just watching the sunset from that balcony. My partner, however, got a bit bored of my constant "Ooh, look at the sky!". Fair. (But seriously, the sky.)
6. Cleaning/Housekeeping? Is it Included, and is it Good?!
YES! Thank god. Cleaning is included! Because, let's be honest, who *wants* to clean on vacation? Not me. The housekeeping was… efficient. They came in, they cleaned, they left. No fuss, no drama. I did leave them a slightly alarming pile of dirty laundry and a trail of crumbs leading to the fridge (don't judge me, I'm a snacker) but they didn't bat an eyelid. Polite, professional. A welcome respite from my usual domestic chaos. Honestly, it was one of the best parts. The thought of clean sheets and a sparkling bathroom after a day of exploring? Pure bliss. Okay, I take that back. The *view* was arguably better, but the cleaning service was a close second.
7. Any Downsides? (Because There Always Are, Right?)
Okay, real talk. This place isn't perfect. First, it's expensive. No getting around it. Second, you're in a very… Western-influenced area. If you're looking for a deeply authentic Vietnamese experience, you'll have to venture out. (Which, by the way, you absolutely should! The food, the culture… it's incredible.) Third, the elevators. There's a lot of floors to navigate. Sometimes, the elevator wait times are a bit soul-crushing. Fourth, the "Paradise" part is… a stretch. But hey, no place is truly paradise. Even a luxury apartment in Ho Chi Minh City has its flaws. And frankly, the view probably makes up for everything.
8. Would You Recommend it? Be Honest!
God, yes. Absolutely. If you can afford it, and you want a comfortable, stylish base for exploring Ho Chi Minh City, this is a great optionHotel Safari
