Lumiere Riverside Heera Stay Apartment

Lumiere Riverside Heera Stay Apartment is an apartment in Thao Dien, 6.5 km from the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, with several layouts that look over the city and, in some units, the Saigon River. It is a building of furnished apartments, so each booking gives you a kitchen, a living room and separate bedrooms to yourself.

The range runs from a 56 m² one-bedroom apartment with an extra-large double bed to 103 m² three-bedroom units that sleep seven. Apart from the one-bedroom unit, every apartment has two bathrooms, a dining area, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine and a terrace. The kitchens are fully equipped with a stovetop, oven, microwave, refrigerator and electric kettle, and the air-conditioned rooms are soundproofed.

The grounds include a garden, a pool with a view, a tennis court and a children's playground, while a steam room, a fitness centre and yoga classes are available for longer stays. A restaurant, a bar and room service are on site.

The seven apartment types share one finish: a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, a living room with a sofa bed, a private bathroom, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a terrace or balcony. What changes is the size and the number of bedrooms. The Classic One-Bedroom Apartment with King Bed is the smallest at 56 m² and sleeps three, while the two Three-Bedroom units are 103 m² and sleep seven.

The four two-bedroom apartments are all 75 m² and sleep five, and they differ mainly in their outlook: city, landmark and river views depend on the unit. Each apartment has separate bedrooms, so friends or couples can have their own room. The three-bedroom units suit larger groups travelling together.

The kitchens have a stovetop, oven, microwave, refrigerator, electric kettle and kitchenware, and each unit has a washing machine, a dining table and a sofa bed for an extra guest. Bathrooms come with free toiletries, a bidet and a hairdryer. Air conditioning, soundproofing and a flat-screen TV with streaming services complete the rooms.

Outdoors there are a garden, a barbecue with outdoor dining, sun loungers and pool towels, a children's playground and a tennis court. The wellness side offers a spa and wellness centre, a steam room, a hot tub, yoga classes and a fitness centre.
