 The bar is at the rooftop. by bpacker TIP: Though this place is listed under Patricia Shultz's "1000 places to see before you die", I feel that it is over-hyped. Not a must see, in my opinion. This place is simply known as the REX ROOFTOP BAR but I call it the 'elephant bar' as the whole place is eccentrically decorated with bird cages and a blue elephant. Now before you think I got a thing for elephants and birdies, let me just tell you that I went because of all the hype I heard. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. I really disappointed to find out that it was several levels lower than "Saigon Saigon" (another watering hole at Caravelle Hotel). Well, no point staying right? I went to Saigon Saigon for a better view of the city. To see my comments on Saigon Saigon, click on b'packer's hcmc page

 The Rex rooftop bar by betska A nice spot for a cocktail or a cold beer. Right in the middle of the city next to the Hotel De Ville. The rooftop veranda has an assortment of life-size animals-bizzare. Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 141 DL Ngyuyen Hue, District 1

 The terrace at the top by SirRichard Apart from being one of the classic top10 hotels in Saigon, the Rex has a wonderful rooftop bar with a terrace in which you can sit for a drink in the evening, enjoy the cool Saigon night and watch the busy streetlife down at the Le Loi Avenue... Deserves a visit! Leave a Comment Theme: People WatchingAddress: 141 Nguyen HueDirections: At the corner with Le Loi, near the Town Hall

 Rex by day by kidfree I had to visit this rooftop bar because of the history of the place. I had read various journalistic pieces from the 50`s, 60`s and 70`s about anyone who was anyone taking cocktails at the Rex rooftop bar. What I didnt recall was reading about the elephant statues and the fact that there was really no view from sitting at a table, you almost had to climb on the wall to see the city below while sipping a Tiger. I think I should have visited this bar before I went to Saigon Saigon at the Caravelle as it was bound to suffer in comparison.
It is a hotel but they appeared not to be too fussy, it was late April and 37degrees but shorts were frowned upon Theme: Eating and DrinkingDirections: Just about the busiest junction in HCMC on Le Loi and Nguyen Hue, VERY centralWebsite: www.rexhotelvietnam.com

We were in a group travelling Vietnam and had several nights at the Rex Hotel enjoying their fabulous rooftop bar. On the 5th floor the area is decorated with beautiful palms, coloured lights and a view over the city centre. A few cold drinks are certain to set the scene for an enjoyable evening.

The evening we were there the place was dead. We only stayed for one drink. Little pricey by Vietnam standards. I think it would be a great place to go on a busier night. There was live music playing and a few people dancing.
Dress well. Theme: Live MusicAddress: 141 Nguyen Hue BoulevardDirections: Near City People's Committee Office. And a little south of the Saint Marie Cathedral. District 1 North.

Its a nice pace to chill out and its quite easy to get there. There is a nice band and it seems that Friday Nights are the best time to be there. Sont forget to get the Saigon Beer . Its only 33,000Vnd And the bill its also stated in US$. How nice for the concerned traveller.

We heard that the rooftop bar of the Rex Hotel was a really good place to go to watch the sunset. So, after a long day sightseeing we changed into something slightly smarter and set off to check it out. Unfortunately, that evening didn't offer much of a sunset, but we had a really pleasant evening anyway. Located about 5 floors up, it's easy to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for half an hour or so and really relax. The service was excellent and although it's more expensive than other bars, the prices are still pretty reasonable. I think they also serve food here, although we didn't eat, and you can get massages at the hotel too, for about US$10.
They didn't seem to be too strict on dress code, although most people at least made a bit of an effort. We wore cool cotton shirts, cropped trousers and sandals and were fine. Leave a Comment

by ricardoz If you are HCM City, you should at least try this rooftop restaurant, when I was there in January this year, there is also a Filipino band playing pop and oldies. The food here is decent, I highly recommend if you want to have your dinner and get a few beers at the same time.

 Rex Hotel by Blatherwick On the rooftop of the Rex Hotel is a bar where you can look out upon the nightlife of Saigon. It's an enjoyable place to spend an evening to just sit down and watch. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 141 Nguyen Hue
