About Ben Thanh Grand Ballroom
The Space
The Ben Thanh Grand Ballroom is the flagship event space at New World Saigon Hotel, a landmark five-star property situated in the Bến Thành neighbourhood of Hồ Chí Minh City. Named after the iconic Ben Thanh Market that stands just moments away, the ballroom carries a sense of place that is both distinctly local and internationally refined. The space is designed to impress from the moment guests arrive, with high ceilings, elegant interior finishes, and a scale that commands attention without sacrificing warmth. Whether the occasion calls for grandeur or intimacy, the ballroom's proportions and professional finishing lend themselves naturally to events that need to leave a lasting impression.
The room is supported by a full suite of audiovisual equipment and dedicated technical staff, ensuring that presentations, live performances, and ceremony moments are delivered with precision. A built-in stage, flexible lighting configurations, and a clear line of sight throughout the room make it suitable for events where visibility and sound quality are paramount. The ballroom can be configured for banquet-style dining, theatre seating, cocktail receptions, and hybrid setups, giving event planners genuine flexibility to shape the space around their programme rather than the other way around.
