EL Where didn’t begin with a business plan – it began with a longing for home. We created EL Where after countless journeys, in a time when remote work had become a lifestyle and cities were merely temporary stops. Amid a sea of identical rental rooms, people often miss the feeling of truly being “at home.” Having lived in Saigon, Hanoi, China, Korea, and the U.S., we realized how difficult it is to find a space that offers privacy, comfort, a connection to technology, and a sense of familiarity – a place where you can cook, work, rest, and feel safe. When we built EL Where in the heart of District 1, our goal was not just to open another hotel, but to create a genuine place of belonging for people like us: young travelers, couples, small families, freelancers, remote workers, digital nomads, overseas Vietnamese returning home, international professionals working in the city center, and modern business travelers – those who live fast-paced lives, but still seek warmth and authenticity. At EL Where, you can stay for a night, a week, or even a month. Each room is designed like a small apartment – minimalist, fully equipped, with a private kitchen, natural light, and a quiet ambiance that feels just like home. We believe every guest is unique. That’s why our services are flexible and personalized, designed so that each person feels seen, heard, and cared for – as if staying with family. Downstairs is our café – a space where you can work all day or simply meet with friends. A small community, just beneath the roof of your temporary home. In the vibrant heart of District 1, EL Where is a quiet pause – a place to rest, slow down, and truly feel at ease amidst the city's constant motion.
