KiN Hotel Dong Du and KiN Hotel Onsen Selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – 6 October 2026 – KiN Hotel Group is proud to announce that KiN Hotel Dong Du and KiN Hotel Onsen have both been selected for the MICHELIN Guide 2026, recognising their distinctive character, thoughtful design, and commitment to creating memorable stays in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
Located just minutes apart, the two hotels offer distinct hospitality experiences that reflect KiN Hotel Group’s approach to design-led urban hospitality, where each property has its own identity while maintaining a shared commitment to thoughtful service and genuine warmth.
KiN Hotel Dong Du: A Gentleman’s Retreat in District 1
Inspired by the timeless style of Kingsman, KiN Hotel Dong Du brings vintage elegance into the contemporary urban setting. Its lobby evokes a classic gentleman’s office, with warm lighting, retro-inspired interiors, and refined decorative details that create a welcoming and understated atmosphere.
The same attention to detail extends to the guest rooms, each featuring a dedicated workspace. Grand City View and Premium City View rooms also offer bathtubs, allowing guests to unwind after a busy day in the city.
Situated on Dong Du Street in District 1, the hotel is just a two-minute walk from Bach Dang Riverside and within walking distance of Ben Thanh Market, Saigon Centre, Takashimaya, and Vincom Center. Its distinctive character is complemented by a convenient location for both business and leisure travellers.
KiN Hotel Onsen: Inspired by the Depth of Red Wine
Located near Notre Dame Cathedral and Diamond Plaza in Saigon Ward, KiN Hotel Onsen draws inspiration from the richness and depth of red wine. Warm tones, velvet seating, soft ambient lighting, and freestanding bathtubs create a refined atmosphere that balances understated luxury with a sense of calm.
At the heart of the experience is the hotel’s private Japanese-inspired onsen, offering guests a moment of stillness away from the pace of the city. Guests can also enjoy access to an exclusive Business Lounge with light refreshments throughout the day, making the hotel suitable for both short city escapes and extended business stays.
A Recognition of Distinctive Hospitality
The selection of both properties in the MICHELIN Guide 2026 marks an important milestone for KiN Hotel Group as it continues to develop distinctive hospitality experiences across Southeast Asia.
“ We have always believed that hospitality is about how a place makes you feel. KiN Hotel Dong Du and KiN Hotel Onsen each have a distinct personality, yet share the same intention: a stay with real character and genuine warmth. We are honoured to see both selected in the MICHELIN Guide 2026. This recognition belongs to our teams first, and it encourages us to keep raising the bar for hospitality across the region,” said Benny Ong, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of KiN Hotel Group.
