Home to a significant Christian community, Saigon lights up every Christmas Eve with a myriad of festive lights, making it the perfect destination for Christmas and New Year’s travel. This year, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon is presenting its inaugural program of activities for travelers and locals alike.
Located near Notre Dame Cathedral, a famous landmark and a central place of worship for many Catholics, and Nguyen Hue boulevard that hosts nightly performances, JW Marriott Hotel & Suites Saigon is right at the heart of the festivities. Also nearby are the luxury shopping malls Saigon Centre and Diamond Plaza with their whimsical decorations and festive sales.
