Motorcycles and Meetings Star in New MICE Package from Caravelle Hotel

HO CHI MINH CITY (Feb. 7, 2013) – The Caravelle is entering the running for most memorable MICE package in Vietnam with a residential meeting offer showcasing a cross-section of Saigon’s colourful history and its legendary motorcycle traffic.

Planners looking for a dynamic destination to hold their business events can book the Caravelle’s new ‘Saigon Buzz’ package featuring full-day meeting room rental, deluxe accommodation with a choice of river or city views, international breakfasts in buffet restaurant Nineteen, a tailored lunch menu and two coffee breaks per day with freshly baked pastries, fruits and squeezed juices.

As the highlight of their Vietnam visit, groups can opt to take a two-hour Vespa City Tour around the main district and French-influenced quarters of Ho ChiMinh City.

Beginning in the afternoon, each passenger on the tour will have the chance to witness local life up close on the back of a vintage Italian scooter that will cruise along the Saigon River and past the city’s historic landmarks. English-speaking guides will accompany the group, which will make one stop at a chosen attraction and another for drinks at sundown.

The ‘Saigon Buzz’ package also covers free WiFi Internet throughout the hotel, in-room welcome drinks and fruits. The Caravelle is dropping additional perks for planners, with one complimentary room and one upgrade to a suite per 20 rooms booked. Planners will also receive a 10% commission on the booking from the hotel, after deduction of appropriate taxes and charges.

A minimum of two nights and 30 persons per group is required to book the deal, which runs until Sept. 30, 2013, and is priced at USD 159++ per single room per night, not including the Vespa tour.

ABOUT THE CARAVELLE

Opened in 1959, the Caravelle won enduring fame during the American War (known as the Vietnam War in the West) as the city’s most upscale hotel and a perch from which to watch the war erupt on the city’s fringe. In 1998, the original 10-story building on Lam Son Square was completely refurbished and complemented by a 24-story tower. Today, the 335-room hotel reigns as Saigon’s most distinctive accommodation opportunity.

Its restaurants include Reflections, Nineteen and the Saigon Saigon Bar, an indoor-outdoor venue that commands the top floor of the historic old wing of the hotel. The hotel’s story is told in Caravelle – Saigon: A History, published in 2009 in celebration of the 50th anniversary.
