    This City Hall building simply shows the influence of the French architecture in Vietnam. It is located near the Rex Hotel.

    City Hall, or the Hotel de Ville, is a colonial French building, built in 1908, that adds a sense of history to the downtown area. It was originally built as the Saigon City Hall and it now houses the city's communist government, so it is heavily guarded. It's modern name is People's Committee Hall, and there is a nice statue of Ho Chi Minh out front. Nearby is the somewhat famous Rex Hotel, where the American journalists often got their daily briefings during the Vietnam War, infamously known as the "Five O'Clock Follies."

    Saigon's city hall was constructed between 1902 and 1908, a fantastic ornate example of colonial architecture unfortunately not open to the public

    The 'sights' in Saigon, as far as specific buildings, will not take more than a few days to see. This is the old Hotel de Ville, built in French colonial days.

    The Saigon City Hall was called the Town Hall till 1954. In the brief span of time between 1954 and 1975 it was renamed the City Hall of Saigon. Since 1975 the building has been called the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Building. This charming cream and yellow French Colonial Building stands at the end of Nguyen Hue Boulevard on the Le Thanh Ton Street. The construction of this building started in March 1898 and was completed in 1908. The building is said to be designed by the famous French architect P. Gardes’s whose design contributed to the main hall and the rectangular wings. On the top of the building is the famous bell tower which is placed on a pyramid like pedestal. The presence of bell towers is adapted from Renaissance architecture and is a feature that is common to most European town halls. Since this is a working government building, no one other than civil servants and cleaners are allowed in. Saigon's Town Hall’s distinct French colonial architecture reminds you of provincial French towns. Though it is not open to the public, tourists can see it from the outside, and the Night Views Are SPECTACULAR!

    Finished in 1908, the Hotel de Ville is now the locus of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, or city council. It's quite a beautiful building and faces a park with a statue of Ho Chi Minh comforting a child -- a common bit of Communist iconography from Stalin to Mao.
