Apec Signature Hotel

Apec Signature Hotel is a hotel in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, with air-conditioned rooms from 17 to 30 m² and a garden with outdoor seating. It suits travellers who want a central base close to pagodas, markets and museums, and families, since the hotel has family rooms and its largest room sleeps four. Each room has a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The rooms range from the 17 m² Standard Double Room and Duplex Quadruple Room, which look onto the inner courtyard, to the 20 m² Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and the 30 m² Deluxe Queen Room, both with balconies over the garden and city. The front desk is staffed 24 hours, and the hotel offers private check-in and check-out, daily housekeeping, room service, a tour desk and luggage storage.

The hotel is non-smoking throughout, and its garden and outdoor seating area are the places to relax after a day in the city. Its pagodas, markets and museums are all within about two kilometres, so most days can be planned on foot or with a short taxi ride.

Apec Signature Hotel offers four room types, and all of them have air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Three of them take two guests: the Standard Double Room and the Duplex Quadruple Room, both 17 m² and both looking onto the inner courtyard, and the 20 m² Deluxe Double Room with Balcony, which has a balcony with garden and city views. Each of these has one large bed.

The largest option is the 30 m² Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds, which has two large beds, room for four guests and a balcony with garden and city views. All four room types have free toiletries and a hairdryer, and two of them include a safety deposit box, so the range shares a consistent standard of comfort. The hotel also offers family rooms, and the Queen room is the one that fits a group of four.

Free WiFi is available in all areas, and the hotel has a 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, express check-in and check-out, and luggage storage. A tour desk and room service are on hand, and daily housekeeping keeps the rooms ready between stays.

Private parking is possible at a nearby location, but it is paid and needs a reservation, so it is worth arranging before you drive in. The garden and outdoor furniture are on the premises, and the hotel offers family rooms and non-smoking rooms, with non-smoking throughout the property.

Security is provided around the clock, and a safety deposit box is available for valuables. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a desk, a wardrobe or closet, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and a seating area, along with a hairdryer and toiletries. Upper floors are reached by stairs only.
