Majestic Hotel - The Pride of HCM City

Built in 1925 in one of the finest locations in Saigon, Majestic Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Ho Chi Minh City. Although it was remodelled many times, it still keeps the old charm, the elegance of columned and arched classical French colonial architecture. Located by the bank of Saigon River and on Dong Khoi Street, the Silk Road of Saigon, Majestic Hotel and Sofitel Metropole Hanoi are only two hotels in Vietnam named the "Legend of Indochina."

 

After nearly a century of development, Majestic Hotel has continually invested to upgrade its facilities and enhance service quality and service manners to attract more guests. The hotel initially had only three floors with 44 rooms, but it now has 175 French style luxury rooms featuring high arches, wooden floors, Jacob Delafon tubs and showers, and marble walls. Well-furnished, elegantly designed and spacious rooms offer gently relaxing moments in a home-like cosy atmosphere. The hotel also has six restaurants and bars in combination with other entertaining services. In 2007, Majestic Hotel was rated a 5-star hotel by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT) and has been voted the Top 5-star Hotel in Vietnam for many years.

 

In addition to perfect amenities and service quality, the strong force of professional, considerate and wholehearted staff is also the pride of Majestic Hotel. Staying at the hotel, you will enjoy a friendly atmosphere and the professional service of experienced, wholehearted staff.

 

Mr Nguyen Anh Vu, Managing Director of Majestic Hotel, said that under the current competition trend, Majestic Hoteladvocates developing under its leading slogan "A Hotel of Tradition, Hospitality and Elegance” serving, regardless of space and time, in the spirit of “Considerateness, Kindness, Responsiveness and Thoughtfulness,” focusing on quality and service improvement, differentiating products and services, treasuring healthy competition, and providing better services. Besides, all staff actively practice thrift, preventing waste, tightening control from input to output, and exercising internal control. Safety and security are always given the highest attention.

 

With its continuous efforts, in 2010 Majestic Hotel served 31,898 guests and raked in total revenues of VND209.32 billion, up 18.8 percent over 2009. Room occupancy reached 68 percent in the year, representing an increase of 22.6 percent from 2009. Notably, in the first six months of 2011, Majestic Hotel saw 25.29 percent growth in guests, totalling 18,106 guests, including 5,312 booking online or 29.33 percent of the total. Room occupancy rate was 74.5 percent. Revenues equal to 52.9 percent of the full-year plan and rose 17.05 percent from the same period in 2010. In recognition of its outstanding achievements in both business performance and social contributions, on February 24, 2011, Majestic Hotel was decorated with the Second-grade Labour Order by the State President. This honourable award is a strong sentimental boost for all staff to endeavour more for the long-term sustainable development of Majestic Hotel.

 

To lay a new stepping stone for the five-year development strategy (2011 - 2015), on July 6, 2011, Majestic Hotel broke ground to expand the current hotel. With a 24-storey block and a 27-storey block, the green-styled Majestic Hotel will have 353 new rooms, raising the total rooms to 538. The nearly VND2,000 billion project is expected to be completed at the end of 2014. Once in operation, the expanded Majestic Hotel will be one of the largest 5-star hotel complexes in Ho Chi Minh City, and provide a full range of distinctive luxury services. The hotel, a perfect combination of ancient architecture and contemporary trends, is also an ideal destination for MICE tours, helping enhance the competitiveness of HCM City tourism in the Asia - Pacific region.
