The five-star Park Hyatt Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City will close down for
three months next year for upgrades.
The hotel will
close and work will begin on March 3, 2015.
The upgrades are
expected to finish in June, its management board announced on Friday.
Work may continue, on
certain rooms, through November.
The management board
said the hotel will retain French architectural elements while adding
Indochina-style decor features to the hotel, such as crystal chandeliers, white
walls and a green garden.
They have also pledged
to change the furniture in the rooms.
It will also change
the decor in the public rooms and purchase new advanced equipment for the
hotel.
The management board
did not reveal the total costs of the upgrade project, but said the room rates
will increase, slightly, after it's over.
The board said the
upgrade aims to offer the best possible services for its customers.
Opened in 2005, the
244-room Park Hyatt Saigon occupies a large swath of prime real estate behind
the elegant Saigon Opera House in District 1.
