Supermodel and renowned fashion show producer Jessica Minh Anh returned to Hôtel des Arts Saigon as its Celebrity of the Month during the festive season.
Appearing as a vision of haute couture, Jessica was warmly welcomed once again by the hotel’s charming General Manager, Philippe Le Bourhis.
Jessica stunned in a dramatic emerald green gown, which epitomized luxury and artistry. The dress featured dimensional leaf patterns, a structured bow detail, and a voluminous, flowing train that cascaded to the floor, exuding regal sophistication. Its fitted laced bodice and sheer sleeves enhanced her figure, creating a perfect balance of modern glamour and timeless style.
VIP TREATMENT
Jessica Minh Anh’s stay was marked by unparalleled personalization and attention to detail that reflected her global status.
In her suite, a beautifully curated welcome table awaited her arrival. It featured sleek red lacquer boxes filled with exotic fruits, refreshing young coconuts with sustainable straws, a handwritten note, and floral arrangements that exuded warmth and refinement.
Her initials, “JMA”, were elegantly embroidered onto her pillowcase—a bespoke touch that showcased the hotel’s commitment to thoughtful luxury. Jessica was further honored as the hotel’s ambassador, gracing its brochure titled “Dear Jessica”.
The hotel’s hospitality extended even to its coffee art, featuring Jessica’s most recent image from Paris printed delicately on the surface of a cappuccino. This seamless blend of creativity and customization highlighted the hotel’s unique charm.
EXECUTIVE STUDIO SUITE
Jessica’s stay in the Executive Studio Suite was a retreat from the bustling city.

Sleek wooden floors and subtle art deco-inspired décor created a sense of calm, while floor-to-ceiling windows offered Jessica panoramic views of Saigon’s vibrant skyline, flooding the suite with natural light.
The bedroom’s centerpiece was a plush king-sized bed, dressed in crisp white linens and luxurious pillows, paired with bespoke furnishings such as a chaise longue and an artful work desk.
The standout feature was the marble-clad bathroom, equipped with a freestanding bathtub, spacious rain shower, and Jessica’s personal favorite: the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer, for an indulgent, spa-like experience.
