Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, boasts a thriving street food culture deeply intertwined with Vietnamese traditions.
Highlights include bánh mì, a French-inspired baguette filled with pork, pate, pickled vegetables, and herbs; phở, a fragrant noodle soup with beef or chicken topped with fresh herbs; and gỏi cuốn, fresh spring rolls wrapped in rice paper with shrimp, pork, and vegetables. Visit Bến Thành Market or Nguyen Van Binh Street for an authentic culinary adventure.
A property might have a resident bison herd as its welcome committee, a flock of friendly flamingos photobombing on the reg, or even an adolescent elephant thinking it’s cool to drink from the pool. Why not? After all, it’s an animal’s world. We’re just living in it. From Alaska to Africa, these 13 hotels and resorts allow you to binge-watch wildlife to your heart’s content.
