Caravelle Saigon's Newly-Renovated Guest Rooms Are Open!   Caravelle Saigon has held a special place in the heart of our great city since its opening on Christmas Eve back in 1959. It all started when we threw open our doors to an expectant public eager to see its original design, hailed at the time as one of the tallest and most modern buildings of its kind. Fast forward 60 years and we start our birthday celebrations this year by flinging open the doors to our new rooms in the Opera Wing on floors 8 to 12. These start at approximately 38.5sqm (415sqft) in size with spacious walk-in vanities and bathrooms beautifully finished with imported marble throughout. Large soundproof windows stream in natural light and offer guests unparalleled views across the heart of the city, including the historic Opera House on one side and glimpses of the meandering Saigon River on the other. Caught up in the tumult of conflict for almost two decades following its opening, Caravelle Saigon became a home for journalists covering the war, soldiers looking for some much needed R&R, and even Australian and New Zealand Embassies as a place of work. Each room comes equipped with a 49” Samsung flat screen TV, free wifi and newly-upgraded decor and finishing's that stay true to the warm, comfortable feeling that Caravelle Saigon has become renowned. If 38.5sqm is not enough, then try our Signature Premium or Signature Studio rooms, each boasting a larger floor area, couch and working space, perfect for longer business or leisure trips.

Red Planet Hotels Inks USD13.7M Loan Agreement With BDO Red Planet Hotels, through its Philippine subsidiary, has signed a USD13.7 million loan facility with BDO Unibank, Inc. to fund planned and ongoing projects in Metro Manila, Philippines. The fundraising is part of Red Planet's vision of continued expansion as the leading developer and operator of budget hotels in Southeast Asia and Japan. Proceeds of the 7-year facility will be used to finance two new Red Planet hotels currently under development in Metro Manila. Red Planet Manila The Fort is a 245-room property in the key business district of Bonifacio Global City and shall open in early 2020. Opening by mid-2021 is Red Planet Manila Entertainment City, a 330-room hotel located adjacent to Manila's Bayside, proximate to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, casinos, and the sprawling Mall of Asia complex. The ultra-prime locations of the two hotels are expected to appeal to both domestic and foreign business and leisure travellers, generating high returns on capital employed. On the occasion of the loan agreement signing, Red Planet Chief Financial Officer, Yoshi Ikurumi, said “This new facility with BDO ensures the timely completion of these two large projects in Manila's Bonifacio Global City and the Bayside district of Entertainment City. With these two new hotels, Red Planet will be operating 15 hotels spread across Metro Manila, Cebu, Pampanga, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro, further underlining our brand's growing dominance in the Philippines.” Ed Francisco, President of BDO Capital & Investment Corporation, said “BDO is pleased to be financing these tourism related projects. The latest developments in the Fort and Entertainment City will be the brand's flagship properties and, with this funding from BDO, the new Red Planet hotels shall further accommodate the Philippines' rapidly growing inbound visitor flows. The tourism sector has a hugely positive trickle-down effect on the economy and, as such, we continue to support successful businesses in the tourism and leisure industry. We hope to continue our support of Red Planet as they pursue their expansion in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.”
