Rex Hotel

Go Back - Latest Ho Chi Minh City > Vietnam > Asia > World | YouTube : Facebook | About Me : Contact Me

Rex Hotel is a popular hotel and meeting place at the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. Located at Nguyen Hue Boulevard, District 1, it is one of the hotels built in the 1950's by the French colonials.

During the Vietnam War, Rex Hotel was a popular watering hole for American soldiers. This was where they had their social and military activities, and from here, the US military officers issued daily press briefings, which came to be known as the "Five O'Clock Follies".

Today, Rex Hotel is still a popular social venue. Corporate executives hold power lunches here while gamblers head for the bingor parlors. The hotel also plays host to local weddings at its central court.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
