Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Bitexco Tower stands tall as a symbol of Vietnam’s transformation. With 68 floors and an iconic lotus-inspired design, this skyscraper is not only a hub for business but also a top destination for tourists thanks to its Saigon Skydeck.
A Glimpse Into Bitexco Tower’s Architecture
Completed in 2010, Bitexco Tower was once the tallest building in Vietnam. Its unique design, inspired by the lotus flower—a national symbol—makes it stand out in Saigon’s skyline. Designed by New York architect Carlos Zapata, the tower represents modern Vietnam reaching upward while honoring its cultural roots.
Standing at 262 meters tall, the tower includes offices, shops, restaurants, and the famous Skydeck on the 49th floor.
