There really aren't. If I'm nitpicking, Landmark 81 has a certain je ne sais quoi, service-wise, that it's inherited from parent VinGroup. Nothing that would spoil the overall experience, which I still rate highly. Pretty sure you already have a fair idea what to expect from Ren in terms of hard product: aesthetically dated, but not grotty. I suppose Ho Chi Minh City is unique in that all five hotels in the portfolio are full service (with club lounges) and inside a relatively small footprint - with JW, Sheraton (+PH) , LeM and Ren (+HS) easily walkable from each other.
The PH is not really comparable to any of the Marriott options, it is quite in its own league comparatively speaking.
