As one of the former major political centers of French Indochina, Ho Chi Minh has preserved a lot of the colonial grandeur of old Saigon. This is especially true in District 1, where classic hotels with rich histories sit by iconic monuments and boulevards. Of course, there are also more modern offerings, featuring contemporary takes on traditional Vietnamese design. All of the gay-friendly hotels below are in the central District 1, where most of the major landmarks are – choose one that sits slightly west in order to be close to both the sights and the gay bars.
Culturally most hotels in Ho Chi Minh could be described as gay-friendly although legally there is a lack of anti-discrimination protections in Vietnam. As a visitor, it is highly unlikely you will be anything but welcome, and you should have no trouble checking into rooms as a gay couple.
It is worth noting that overt public displays of affection are frowned upon in Vietnamese society, even between opposite-sex couples. Holding hands is fine, but anything more than that might be considered rude.
Most gay visitors book hotels in District 1 as it’s home to most of Vietnam’s tourist attractions and gay nightlife.
