The founders, Mr. Lam Nguyen and Van Ho, with a burning passion for French culture, opened the hotel in the  December of 2017. The name, “Camille", is reminiscent of a youthful, feminine, and hospitable Parisienne who will make your stay most enjoyable and like home. Fascinatingly, Camille is also the name of a talented French artist who put her heart and soul into creating a brilliant work of art for the hotel's interior. What makes it one of a kind?

Well, if you do not have the money to splurge on staying in the extravagant JW Marriott Phu Quoc, choose Maison de Camille instead for its equivalently exquisite ambience and splendid service. Once you step into the hotel, Maison de Camille will strike you in awe with an artistic assortment of vintage photos on the wall of the living room. Going a little bit further inside, you will be presented with a small cafe where you can enjoy your “breakfast at Tiffany's" like Audrey Hepburn once did. A unique feature of Maison de Camille is its location. Not only staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, Maison de Camille is next to a church, endowing it with a romantic and tranquil view for which you cannot find a substitute anywhere else in Saigon. What is better than a dinner date with your significant other with a view towards the Christian angels?

Maison de Camille offers guests 2 suites and 17 rooms. The interior in each room is carefully designed with exclusively-chosen garments and furniture. Colors and patterns are bright and vivid, making the whole surrounding a dazzling pleasure for guests to relish.
