Silverland Bến Thành is on Lê Lai street in District 1, the central district of Ho Chi Minh City, close to the crossroads where Le Loi and Nguyen Hue boulevards meet. Ben Thanh Market is 150 m away, about two minutes on foot, and Sri Mariamman Temple is 200 m away, while the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum sits 300 m off and September 23 Park 400 m. Cafés, restaurants and a halal eatery line the surrounding streets, so a meal is never far. The Nguyen Hue walking street is a short walk from the hotel.

Ben Thanh Station, 100 m away, is the Metro Line 1 station at Ben Thanh, and the Bến xe buýt Sài Gòn bus station is 950 m away. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is 5.5 km from the hotel and Saigon Railway Station 2.4 km. No parking is available at the property, so guests arrive on foot from the station, by taxi or on the airport shuttle the hotel offers.

The Independence Palace, the former presidential palace, is 650 m away, and the War Remnants Museum is 1 km from the hotel. Notre Dame Cathedral, a French-era church, is 800 m away, and Tao Dan Park, 600 m off, gives a green break between the sights. All of them lie within about a kilometre of the hotel, so a morning on foot covers them, with the museum visits kept for the afternoon.
