IconSphere Hotel stands on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, where offices, shops and restaurants sit close together. Natrix Bar, 150 Nhà Hàng and Nomu Izakaya are all within 100 m, so the street stays lively into the evening. Ben Thanh Market is 500 m away and the Old Market 300 m, both within a short walk through the centre of the district.

Saigon Railway Station is 2.9 km away, and Ben Thanh Station, 400 m from the hotel, is where Metro Line 1 begins its run to Suoi Tien in Thu Duc, a journey of about 30 minutes. The metro is a quick way to cross the city, while taxis are easy to find on the central streets. For the railway station or the airport with heavy luggage, a taxi is the simplest option, since the stations are too far to walk with bags.

Several sights lie within a short walk. The Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum is 250 m away, Phung Son Pagoda 500 m and the Museum of Ho Chi Minh City 700 m, so a single morning can take in two museums and a pagoda on foot. Bach Dang Wharf Park, 600 m away, is on the riverside, and the Sai Gon Hydrofoil Terminal is nearby. Tao Dan Park, 1.1 km away, is a green break from the traffic, and the War Remnants Museum is 1.5 km from the hotel.
