Ho Chi Minh City – Nestled in the heart of the city with panoramic views of the Ba Son Bridge, Le Méridien Saigon stands as an urban landmark where creativity and culture meet contemporary hospitality. Overlooking the scenic Saigon River, the hotel offers unrivalled convenience for business and leisure travelers alike, with easy access to the city’s key attractions and event venues.

Beyond its prime location, Le Méridien Saigon redefines the modern stay experience through its trio of culinary destinations — Akuna, Barson, and Latest Recipe. Each embodies the brand’s passion for creativity, continually unveiling new menus and immersive experiences that delight the senses.

In recognition of these efforts, Barson was honored with the Best Bar award by Tatler Vietnam in 2024, while Akuna proudly retains its Michelin star for two consecutive years, alongside multiple accolades in the world of gastronomy.

Barson Unveils “Saigon Spirits”: A Cocktail Collection Inspired by the City’s 12 Districts

In celebration of Saigon’s ever-evolving landscape following recent district unifications, Barson, located on the ground floor of Le Méridien Saigon, has introduced an evocative cocktail series titled “Saigon Spirits.” This exclusive collection pays tribute to the character and charm of Saigon’s 12 beloved districts, each cocktail a liquid narrative that captures the district’s unique flavor, history, and spirit.

The “City Lights” cocktail, for instance, represents District 1, reflecting the district’s dazzling energy and cosmopolitan flair. Meanwhile, “Shell Hustle,” inspired by District 4, features a playful presentation in a seashell and a bold combination of tangy, spicy notes that echo the vibrant street food scene of Vĩnh Khánh, a culinary icon of the area.

Equally distinctive, the “Kimchi°” cocktail embodies District 7, pairing flavors reminiscent of a Korean hotpot with a side of seaweed rice ball, offering an inventive and unmistakable twist that mirrors the district’s dynamic multicultural identity.
