The Windsor Plaza Hotel towers over everything in District 5. — Photos: Windsor Plaza Hotel
Windsor Plaza is an “eating” hotel – that was my first thought! With the spread in front of me, I was in a happy quandary of having to decide what to eat first. I suppose it’s par for the course as this hotel lies smack in the middle of Ho Chin Minh City’s (HCMC) Chinatown. And the establishment has brought what can be found outside the property into the building.
The Windsor Plaza Hotel has a great location in District 5 – the authorities have partitioned the city into districts – where many of the ethnic Chinese Vietnamese have set up home and businesses. Most Malaysian visitors might be more familiar with District 1 of the city where the shopping and some of the well-known sights are located. But then they would be missing out on some other delights that the city has to offer if they do not venture outside this district.
