Split across the top two floors of The Reverie, this suite is a paean to Italian design. Designed by Cassina and Poltrona Frau, its furnishings include Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier chairs. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping feature, though, is the marble and glass living room wall, which soars two stories high to give stunning views of the sprawling city and the Saigon River.
