Reunification Palace - Ho Chin Minh City
A must go for for the amateurs of retro kitch design and modernist architecture.
The Independence Palace – also known as Reunification Palace - was built on the site of the former Norodom Palace designed by architect Ngo Viet Thuby in 1966. It was the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
This 5 storey palace has a ground floor arranged with meeting rooms while upstairs a grand set of reception rooms and a basement with a telecommunication centre, bunker and war room. Its iconic interior design provides an outstanding blend of traditional Vietnamese and vintage design which remind of James Bond movies Goldfinger era.
