Ho Chi Minh City Hall

Ho Chi Minh City Hall is officially known as ‘Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Head Office’. It was built between 1902-08 in French colonial style and was formerly the Hotel de Ville. Now a functioning civic building, it is not generally open to the public. The building is best seen at night as it commands a view down the length of Nguyen Hue St, which is a wide boulevard fit for promenading in the evening. The building’s golden glow makes for a perfect photo-backdrop and will likely feature at some point in your downtown evening.

​Everyone knows the building even if they don’t know its name. Careful when entering your taxi app destination, as there is a people’s committee building in every district!
