Hello, I’m Alesa, a travel writer! This time, I enjoyed an elegant tea time at “Rose Villa Saigon,” a trending spot in Ho Chi Minh City. Rose Villa Saigon has been quietly gaining popularity as a destination for travelers seeking refined experiences. Though I was initially overwhelmed by its luxurious atmosphere, I managed to enjoy a relaxed time there. In this article, I’ll share all of its charms with you.
Rose Villa Saigon is a multi-purpose resort facility centered around a luxury boutique hotel located in the Thao Dien district (District 2) of Ho Chi Minh City. This hotel was established as part of Vietnam’s first lifestyle membership club, situated within a lush tropical garden spanning 3,300 square meters. At its core, the boutique hotel features 15 private rooms and suites, opening its doors to provide unique and fresh experiences to guests from around the world.
Rose Villa Saigon combines indoor and outdoor areas, creating a vibrant and romantic space that fuses modern design with the charm of antique craftsmanship.
Now, I’d like to share my experience report from my visit to Rose Villa Saigon for tea!
After leaving the commercial area and traveling by taxi through a quiet alley for a few minutes, I suddenly came upon a flamboyant pink entrance that looked like something out of a fairy tale. At first, I was overwhelmed by its grand atmosphere, but I felt relieved by the friendliness of the staff who greeted me. When I asked, “Is it okay if I just want to have some tea?” they responded with a smile, “Of course! Please come in and enjoy tea at your leisure,” which immediately put me at ease.
The impressive entrance already builds anticipation.
Vast Grounds and Beautiful Gardens
Following the staff through the entrance, I was surprised by the sheer size of the property. A vast estate spread out like a mansion, with an elegant world created around a glass-decorated pool. Surrounding this was a garden overflowing with lush greenery, inviting visitors into a world of relaxation.
Spending time in the garden with the pool at your feet must be amazing!
This garden area is divided into two sections: “The Pool Garden” and “Rose Garden,” where you can enjoy tea or meals surrounded by greenery. However, since the day was hot with strong sunlight, I decided to have tea in the indoor area.
The Luxurious Restaurant “The Rose”
An elegant space that makes you feel like you’re in a movie, manga, or drama
As I continued following the staff, I arrived at “The Rose,” a restaurant primarily decorated in red. The space exudes luxury with bold floral decorations and red velvet chairs. The exquisite fusion of antique design and modern elements made me feel as if I had stepped into a movie, captivated by its elegant ambiance.
The space adorned with red velvet is immersive!
The ceiling decorations, wallpaper, and floor finishes are meticulously detailed, giving a somewhat retro feel
Elegant Tea Time
I took a seat and ordered cake and tea. Based on the luxurious atmosphere, I was prepared for quite high prices, but the tea and cake cost only about $7 in total. While this is a bit upscale considering Vietnamese prices, it’s very reasonable when you consider the atmosphere, high-quality service, and menu quality.
Even the cake is cute! The checkerboard pattern plate adds a stylish touch.
Members Club
By the way, beneath The Rose is a historic private members club. Inspired by London gentlemen’s clubs from the 1800s, this club forms a community with a modern approach. Members selected based on professional qualifications or personal passions can gather and share special time together. Since general visitors cannot enter, to use the members club, you would need to arrange some kind of event locally.
Rose Villa’s Multi-Purpose Functionality
Rose Villa Saigon can be used not only as a café and restaurant but also as a hotel. Additionally, it’s possible to rent the venue for wedding receptions and other banquets. For these reasons, it has become not only a destination for tourists from abroad but also an aspirational place for city residents in Ho Chi Minh City.
Next time I want to sit at the outdoor bar counter!
Now is Your Chance Before It Gets Crowded!
Since Rose Villa Saigon is quite new, it doesn’t yet have high international recognition and remains something of a hidden gem. However, considering this unique space and its reasonable menu, it’s only a matter of time, for better or worse, before its popularity explodes and it becomes difficult to get in. Therefore, I recommend visiting now while it’s still not crowded. Experience the luxurious atmosphere and excellent service, and enjoy a special tea time.
That’s my introduction to the charms of “Rose Villa Saigon”! I hope you’ll visit on your next trip to Ho Chi Minh City!
