The neighborhood

A corner of Saigon, busy and green at once

Binh Thanh lies northeast of central Saigon, right on the Saigon River. It is home to an 81-story riverside tower, long-running eateries around Ba Chieu Market and several universities, so from morning to late at night there are always people studying, working and strolling.

Nhà An Binh Thanh is a leafy townhouse near Landmark 81, with a lotus-planted front courtyard, and it will be open 24/7 once we open. The street number will be announced later, so all distances on this page are estimates.

  • Landmark 81 and the riverside park are right next to Nhà An
  • Central Saigon (Nguyen Hue, Ben Thanh Market) is about 15 minutes away
  • Easiest in the dry season: roughly December to April
