Trendy, cozy, intimate, and chill; these words describe Le Meridien Saigon’s cafe lounge and bar, Latitude 10, to a T. Connected to a sweeping lobby and designed with large open spaces and shades of vibrant burgundy, red, and orange, this eclectic space undergoes a transformation each day when the sun begins to dip below the Saigon River.
By day, the space buzzes with energy as businessmen meet over a cup of crafted coffee, freelancers work on their latest creations, and hotel guests plan their daily activities. Anyone can take advantage of the “Work at Latitude 10” package running from 9-5 which includes free-flow tea and coffee along with a gourmet healthy lunch, all for VND 350,000 (USD 15).
As the light begins to fade through the floor to ceiling windows, the paneled menus behind the bar silently flip from a background of white to black as the evening’s latest concoctions come out to play and the live band strums its first chords. Happy hour runs from 5-8 pm offering an all-you-can-drink deal on red, white, and sparkling wines, as well as margaritas, martinis, and craft beer for just VND 350,000 (USD 15)!
In addition, Latitude 10’s craft cocktail series takes mixology to a whole new level by creating classic cocktails such as the Manhattan and Old Fashioned and then aging them inside oak barrels. The Ca Phe Negroni in particular, a modern take on a traditional favourite, is a huge crowd pleaser.
