Another Vietnam War-era landmark, the Caravelle opened in 1959 and its rooftop bar was famously used by foreign correspondents during the war. Today it operates as a modern high-rise hotel directly on Lam Son Square opposite the Opera House, with an outdoor pool deck, several restaurants, and the historic Saigon Saigon Rooftop Bar offering live music most nights. Its central location makes it an easy walking base for Dong Khoi Street, the Central Post Office, and the riverside promenade.
