Experience Contemporary Heritage in the Exclusive Edition of Marriott Residences

Among the distinguished guests were supermodel Lan Khuê, designer Adrian Anh Tuấn, entrepreneur Sơn Đoàn, and Cheng Bảo Phương, among others.

The special edition Marriott Residences Collection is a symbol of luxury living, endorsed by Marriott International. Each residence is a unique masterpiece, a work of art where heritage meets modern excellence. Located at Grand Marina, Saigon, these luxury apartments are intertwined with the 230-year history of Ba Son, embodying a new era of heritage. Here, historical legacy converges with global brands, offering a 5-star living experience and timeless value for owners.

This spirit inspired the concept of The House of Modern Legacy, where 12 residences are transformed into 12 “slices” of contemporary heritage, curated by art researcher Ngô Kim Khôi. The space is divided into three artistic pillars: past, present, and future, narrating the heritage journey through art, precious paintings, collectibles, and high-end interiors.

“Each Marriott Residence is a testament to refined living. I ensure every artwork and luxury item—from fragrances to rare wines—is intentionally placed to reflect the heritage flow from Ba Son to modern Saigon. This is how I infuse each space with a timeless essence,” shared Ngô Kim Khôi.

Even the selection of residences to convey specific artistic themes is deliberate. For instance, residences representing the “past” offer views of Thảo Cầm Viên and Lá Sen Park, evoking the serene and nostalgic vibe of old Saigon. In contrast, residences symbolizing the “future” overlook the Saigon River, Thu Thiem Peninsula, and the CBD, where urban lights signify a future taking shape, embodying Ho Chi Minh City’s global aspirations.

The journey begins with residences themed “Dialogue with Time,” showcasing Saigon’s memories through artworks by Gia Định School artists like Duy Liêm, Nguyễn Trí Minh, Đào Mùi, Đỗ Xuân Doãn, and Lê Chánh.

These precious paintings are displayed in neutral tones, natural light, and minimalist layouts, ensuring visual value takes center stage. The space harmonizes visual heritage with contemporary elegance, reflecting a refined lifestyle where the past is seamlessly integrated into modern, sustainable living.

Situated on the historic Ba Son site, adjacent to Thảo Cầm Viên, along Tôn Đức Thắng Street, and by the Saigon River, Marriott Residences at Grand Marina, Saigon, possess a unique cultural value where past and present intertwine in every architectural detail and living experience.

Continuing the journey, two residences themed “Contemporary Pulse” celebrate modern milestones, embodying today’s creative spirit and individuality. Tailored for both gentlemen and ladies, these spaces are a testament to contemporary living.

The gentleman’s space is defined by Cyril Kongo’s “Paris–Hanoi” and Hom Nguyen’s “ICARE.” Sophistication is completed with Italian suits by Canali, luxury accessories from S.T. Dupont, and The Macallan Horizon – The Art of Flower. Minimalist design, emphasizing light and proportion, creates a space where elegance and excellence converge, reflecting a pinnacle lifestyle.

In contrast, the lady’s space exudes elegance and depth, highlighted by Hom Nguyen’s “Woman,” capturing the beauty and inner depth of Asian women. Light, fragrance, and interior details are meticulously combined to enhance the modern woman’s aesthetic and spirit. A standout piece is the limited-edition Vanguard Rose Skeleton watch from Franck Muller, symbolizing luxury, femininity, and exquisite craftsmanship.

The final segment features six residences themed “Global Masterpieces,” offering expansive views of Thu Thiem Peninsula and the Saigon River, symbolizing a future taking shape.

Here, artworks by Hom Nguyen and Cyril Kongo are displayed alongside limited-edition watches, rare wines, and high-end crafts, creating a space that blends global excellence with local identity. This affirms Grand Marina, Saigon, as a new city icon in the era of globalization.

Hom Nguyen’s works convey messages of innovation, freedom, and faith in the future, while Cyril Kongo’s pieces highlight cross-cultural connections, creativity, and international dialogue in contemporary art.

A standout piece is Cyril Kongo’s “Les Portes du Paradis,” using graffiti to depict a journey of exploration and the quest for freedom, multicultural connection, and expanded horizons. It symbolizes grandeur and global integration.

Throughout the experience, guests can directly engage with the meticulous finishes of each Marriott Residences special edition apartment, from materials and equipment to functionality and global Marriott standards. Experiencing the living space within a carefully curated artistic context helps guests envision the philosophy of luxury living: living amidst heritage, living selectively, and passing down values to future generations.
