Rooms: The 340 rooms and 19 suites range from $220 to $3,400 a night. With plush carpets over hardwood floors and a burnt orange and dark chocolate color scheme, the décor offers a fresh take on modern Vietnam. The spacious bathrooms mix marble, wood and glass for a bright, clean effect. The rooms in the three pavilions built over the water are linked to the main hotel by narrow bridges that can be traversed by golf carts or rickshaws.
Food: The sleek, standout Milan Saigon features an irresistible mix of European contemporary and rustic Asian cuisines. The homemade lobster pappardelle has a delicious spicy kick ($17), and the wok-fried Wagyu beef with black-pepper sauce ($65) is wonderfully tender. For dessert, the dark-chocolate cream with a Sichuan pepper foam is intriguing ($6).
Bar: Small and breezy, the Sunset Bar stands over the water and, true to its name, offers stunning views of the sunset over the lake. Sip the signature martini ($8)—a mix of gin, Cointreau, lemon juice and a dash of grenadine—while lazing on one of the love seats.
