The secret to serenity: inside Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung’s Japandi-inspired rooms

Some hotel rooms you forget the moment you check out. Others stay with you — because they change how you feel the second you walk in. At Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung, that feeling has a name: Japandi.

Tucked in the lively heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung is surrounded by the energy of Saigon — cafés spilling onto sidewalks, scooters weaving through traffic, neon signs blinking late into the night. Yet once you step inside your room, all of that fades away. There’s a quietness here, a sense of balance that makes you breathe differently, move more slowly, and sleep more deeply. It’s not just good design. It’s a philosophy of calm.

What is Japandi, and why does it matter in a hotel?

Japandi is a design style that combines the minimalist harmony of Japanese aesthetics with the warmth and functionality of Scandinavian interiors. Imagine clean lines and uncluttered spaces, softened by natural textures, light woods, and cozy details that make you feel instantly at home.

In a city as energetic as Saigon, that combination is more than beautiful — it’s restorative. For travelers who spend their days exploring temples, markets, or business meetings, coming back to a Japandi-inspired room feels like pressing pause. It’s the design equivalent of a deep exhale.

At Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung, Japandi isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a guiding principle. Every detail, from the color palette to the way sunlight enters the room, has been considered with one goal: to create serenity.

Inside the rooms: where calm takes shape

Open the door to your room at Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung and you’ll notice it immediately. The walls are dressed in soft neutrals, calming shades of cream and beige that let your mind rest. Furniture is crafted from light wood, echoing both Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese naturalism.

The layout is thoughtful — everything has its place, and nothing feels crowded. The bed is positioned to welcome natural light in the morning, yet the curtains are heavy enough to cocoon you at night. A writing desk offers a space for reflection or planning your next adventure, free from unnecessary clutter.

Then there are the textures: crisp white linens against a woven throw, smooth wood paired with a tactile rug underfoot. These subtle contrasts invite you to slow down and notice the simple comforts around you.

Even the lighting is intentional. Soft, warm lamps create a gentle glow in the evenings, while daylight filters in gracefully during the morning hours. It’s a rhythm that mirrors the city outside—but at your own pace.

The feeling guests take with them

Design is only half the story. What matters most is how a space makes you feel. Guests often describe the rooms at Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung as soothing, restorative, and even a little transformative.

After a day in the bustle of District 1, you return not just to a hotel room, but to a sanctuary. The Japandi design creates a subtle shift in mood: your shoulders drop, your mind clears, and you find yourself savoring small rituals — pouring a cup of coffee, opening a book, lying back and listening to the city from a distance rather than being caught in its current.

It’s that rare kind of comfort that goes beyond physical rest. It’s emotional rest too.

Why Kin’s approach is different

Plenty of hotels in Ho Chi Minh City are stylish. But Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung goes beyond looks. The Japandi influence is woven into the philosophy of Kin’s hospitality.

For Kin, minimalism doesn’t mean emptiness — it means thoughtfulness. Every object in your room has a purpose, and every detail is designed to serve your comfort without overwhelming your senses. The Scandinavian sense of coziness (known as hygge) blends seamlessly with the Japanese art of balance (wabi-sabi), and the result is something uniquely Kin: calm, understated luxury that feels personal.

And because Kin Hotel Thai Van Lung is part of the Kin family, you’ll also notice that the design is only one layer of care. The warmth of the staff, the ease of check-in, the quiet cup of coffee waiting downstairs—these are extensions of the same philosophy: simplicity that feels like belonging.
