Dear Travel Partners,
Every month at least one new hotel opens in one of our fabulous destinations, other hotels make rennovations to ensure their properties are in tip-top shape for your guests, or extensions to accomodate more guests.
Our Focus Asia team would like to help you keep track of these developments and will introduce to a "Hotel of the Month," each month throughout 2016 and beyond.
This month we feature one of Saigon's newest hotels and part of the MGallery group, Hôtel des Arts Saigon.
If you would like more information about this hotel or the destination itself, please contact your Sales Manager in charge.
Sincerely,

FOCUS ASIA INSIDER TOP TIPS
1. The Deck - A fabulous restaurant next to the Saigon River.
Travel to the restaurant by road or speed boat pick up!
The restaurant is situated on the banks of the famous Saigon River, hidden and nestled - a short 15 minute journey from the city center of Ho Chi Minh. The restaurant is famous for its Pan Asian cuisine which changes weekly depending on seasonality. Seafood is flown in directly from Phu Quoc Island, vegetables from Dalat and other produce carefully selected. The menu is kept simple focusing on single ingredients and great quality. This restaurant can host groups as well as single guests and your guests can experience the river life from a different perspective. Stunning location and fabulous food.

2. The À Ố Show - A fantastic evening of circus-style entertainment. Note: Shows start at 18:00 or 20:00 and not operated daily, please inquire with nearest Focus Asia office.
 À Ố Show is a new kind of art performance commonly acknowledged globally as "contemporary circus" shown in the SAIGON opera house. The show surpasses all the limits that were previously constructed by many other art shows in Vietnam over years. During the sixty-minute-long show, audience is gently introduced to many different tones of emotion as some may see flashes of their own reflection through the vivid yet poetic rendering as if they are captured in a Vietnamese dream of life, survival, love and anything else in between. À Ố Show may still be within the path of pursuing perfection but it does take pride in providing an-hour-long show of peace, comfort, and serenity mixed with astonishment and joy. |
