Mid-Autumn for two
Mid-Autumn is a family festival, so for couples it is usually the second half of the evening — after the family part is done. This page is about that stretch of the night.

When Mid-Autumn falls, and why it matters
Mid-Autumn falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, so the calendar date shifts each year. Check which day of the week it lands on: that decides when the lantern streets are busiest. Unlike other occasions, demand spreads across the two weeks before the full moon.
Standing offers you can count on
- Save 150,000đ when you check in after 22:00, Sunday to Thursday
- Check in after midnight and check out as late as 14:00
- Hourly charges stop at the full-day rate
- Decoration packages at 3,000,000đ and 4,000,000đ, room not included
- Reception open 24/7 at every hotel
Timing the lantern streets
Luong Nhu Hoc in District 5 is the classic destination. It is busiest 19:00–22:00 at weekends in the two weeks before the full moon; a Monday or Tuesday evening has the same lanterns with far fewer people. Park on the edge and walk in.
Choosing a room and a location
Most couples arrive late, straight from a family gathering, so location matters as much as the room. Van Phat Hotel is closest to the District 5 lantern streets; the three Trung Son hotels suit anyone coming from the south. Bring mooncakes and tea — but swap candle lanterns for LED ones.

Frequently asked questions
When is Mid-Autumn this year?
Mid-Autumn is the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, so the date moves each year — usually September or early October.
How early should we book?
Three to five days is usually enough — demand spreads across two weeks rather than one night.
Can we bring mooncakes and lanterns?
Mooncakes and tea are fine. Candle lanterns are not — house rules prohibit open flames. Use LED lanterns instead.
Which hotel is closest to the lantern streets?
Van Phat Hotel at 61 Pham Viet Chanh, District 1.
Can we check in late after a family dinner?
Yes, reception is open 24/7, and a late check-in comes with a discount.
