The Writeriana de Lumière

The Writeriana de Lumière is a hotel in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, with family rooms and private kitchens, 100 m from the Jade Emperor Pagoda and Da Kao Market. Its six room types range from 30 m² doubles and queens to a 60 m² two-bedroom apartment and a 320 m² house with six bedrooms, so the property suits couples, friends and families who want more space than a standard room.

Every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, city views, a terrace and a kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave and electric kettle. Each room also includes a work desk and a dining area, and four types have a balcony as well. Free WiFi covers the rooms, and the lounge and business centre suit travellers who need to work.

The family-friendly restaurant serves Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Vietnamese cuisines, and the property has 24-hour security, meeting rooms and reception staff who speak English and Vietnamese. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 3.8 km away, and a paid shuttle service is available.
