Park Hyatt Saigon proudly announces the return of its most anticipated annual event — Passion Week 2025, taking place from 25 to 29 November 2025.
Now in its fourth edition, Passion Week stands as the crown jewel of Park Hyatt’s Masters of Food & Wine series — a five-day journey uniting the world’s most celebrated Michelin-starred chefs, sommeliers, and creative masters to redefine the boundaries of contemporary gastronomy, design, and culture.
A Week of Passion and Perfection
In 2015, Park Hyatt Saigon launched Art at the Park — a curated platform showcasing local artists and the power of art in community life. Passion Week borrows from, and greatly expands upon, these two programs to offer guests an immersive celebration of what Park Hyatt calls “the art of living.”
Passion Week 2025 promises an immersive celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and connection. From intimate masterclasses to star-studded lunches and gala dinners, guests will engage directly with world-renowned masters — each representing the pinnacle of their craft.
“Passion Week is our annual tribute to mastery — a gathering of exceptional minds who inspire through dedication, beauty, and innovation,” said Frédéric Boulin, General Manager of Park Hyatt Saigon. “It is the embodiment of the Park Hyatt spirit — where cuisine meets culture and passion becomes art.”
