Standing at the top of Vietnam’s tallest building, looking out over Ho Chi Minh City from the 81st floor — there’s truly nothing quite like it.
When planning a trip to Ho Chi Minh City, one landmark instantly comes to mind — the iconic 81-story Landmark 81. Inside this tower sits Vinpearl Landmark 81, Autograph Collection, a Marriott luxury lifestyle brand known for its sophisticated design and breathtaking views.
This time, I stayed in a Club Room (Sky View, King Bed) and had full access to the 71st floor Club Lounge. Here’s my honest, detailed review of an experience that went far beyond an ordinary hotel stay.
1. A Night Above the Clouds: Club Room Sky View King Bed
The moment you open the door, a floor-to-ceiling window fills your entire view.

Our club room was located on a high floor, offering a sweeping sky view over the entire Ho Chi Minh City skyline. The Autograph Collection’s signature modern design is immediately striking — deep wood tones paired with gold accents create an atmosphere of quiet luxury, while the wall-to-wall windows make you feel like you’re floating above the city.

Sitting by the window with my child, watching the Saigon River curve through the city and the horizon stretch into the distance — it was the most peaceful moment of the entire trip.

A King Bed That Guarantees Deep Sleep
For family travel, bedding quality matters more than anything. The king bed here features a mattress that cradles the body softly while providing firm support — the exhaustion from a long-haul flight simply melted away. The white cotton sheets were crisp, clean, and wonderfully soft. Even my light-sleeping child slept soundly through the night without waking once.

A City View Bath
The bathroom is another highlight of this room. Finished in premium marble, a large soaking tub sits center stage — and yes, you can enjoy the city view from the tub too. I dissolved the provided bath salts into the water and soaked while watching Ho Chi Minh’s dazzling night skyline unfold below. The amenities were eco-conscious yet high quality — nothing felt like an afterthought.

2. Vietnam’s Highest Privilege: The 71st Floor Club Lounge
The greatest perk of the Club Room is access to the Club Lounge on the 71st floor.

Recognized as the highest lounge in Vietnam, it offers all-day refreshments and an evening cocktail hour throughout your stay — elevating the entire trip to another level.
Private Check-in & Check-out
Instead of waiting in a busy lobby, you check in comfortably from the 71st floor lounge with a welcome drink in hand.

A dedicated staff member guides you through the process attentively, with zero wait time. For families traveling with young children, this is genuinely one of the biggest advantages of the club room.

All Day Refreshments
Premium coffee, tea, fresh fruit, and light snacks are available anytime during operating hours.
[10]
We stopped by mid-sightseeing on several occasions to cool down and recharge. The generous ceiling height and open atmosphere also made it a perfect spot to open a laptop or read a book.
3. Evening Cocktail Hour: Romance at 71 Floors Up
The evening cocktail hour, starting at 5:30 PM, is the crown jewel of the Club Lounge.
[12]
Watching the sunset from the 71st floor while enjoying a spread of fine food and drinks — it’s the kind of memory that stays with you.
High-Quality Hot Food & Cold Cuts
The selection goes far beyond typical lounge snacks — this is a proper meal.
[13]
From freshly carved meat dishes to smoked salmon, artisan cheeses, and Vietnamese-style appetizers, the variety is impressive. There were plenty of kid-friendly finger foods too, so the whole family was more than satisfied.
[14]
Unlimited Drinks & Cocktails
A professional bartender is on hand to mix cocktails to your taste.
[15]
Wine, whiskey, beer — the lineup is extensive. For children, thoughtfully prepared non-alcoholic mocktails are also available. Watching the city lights of Ho Chi Minh flicker on one by one through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cocktail in hand — it was nothing short of art.

4. Lounge Breakfast: A Quiet, Private Morning
Club Room guests can choose between the buffet breakfast at the 66th floor Oriental Pearl Restaurant or the quieter lounge breakfast on the 71st floor.
[17]
The key difference: the 66th floor feels lively and grand, while the 71st floor lounge breakfast is calm, intimate, and unhurried. The menu selection may be smaller, but the ingredient quality is noticeably higher — and the made-to-order à la carte options make you feel genuinely taken care of.
[18]
We personally dined at the 66th floor, so we didn’t use the lounge breakfast — but if your rate doesn’t include breakfast, the club room lounge option would be absolutely worth it.
Having traveled the world with my child and experienced countless luxury hotels, Vinpearl Landmark 81’s Club Room stands in a category of its own — not just for its height, but for the quality of service that matches it.
The extra cost of the club room pays for itself through the 71st floor lounge alone. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion with a partner or traveling with young children like me, this is a stay that delivers both comfort and magic in equal measure.
