LUXE Ho Chi Minh City (LUXE City Guides)

"Think it s all tanks and tunnels? Wake up and smell the pho. Many of Saigon s elegant boulevards and French colonial buildings are still around, mixing effortlessly with the hurly burly of this burgeoning metro city. It s a swank shopper and foodie s dream, stacked with world-class local designer fashion, interiors and lifestyle, saturated in history and waiting for you on a plate. Hankering for a fresh green tea cappuccino or the best bowl of pho? How about sublime Viet food in atmospheric period salons? Splash for fab jewellery and crystal accessories, hand-stitched quilts, retro deco furniture and the latest, funkiest lacquer, or why not go the whole hog and design your own lacquerware... yes, you can. Want to nail some of Asia s finest fashion, decor, lifestyle and accessories? Need your own private English-speaking driver to swan you around town? Want to find the best contemporary art galleries and late-night jazz with Viet pizzazz? Who s your daddy? LUXE Ho Chi Minh City. Less is more, and more is better.
