Collections of photos depicting Sai Gon now and then are hung on the walls of corridors and rooms help guests learn about life and sceneries of the city in the early 20th century. The hotel has five restaurants and bars serving diverse Asian and European cuisines.

Rooftop Garden Bar: On the fifth floor of Rex Hotel Saigon, the bar is an ideal venue for those who want to avoid the bustling atmosphere of Saigon but can still watch the typical activities of a big city. At Rooftop Garden Bar, guests can take some beers and cocktails while listening to romantic melodies performed by famous singers and musicians. During Happy Hours from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the bar applies the “buy one get one free” policy in the “Cold Beer” program. From 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in line with the “Five O’clock Follies” program, every order of a glass of Five O’clock Follies or Rooftop Signature cocktail will be served with free finger food.

A discount of 50% will be applied for the second glass. Over the past 50 years of its history, the bar has been favored and named “Five O’clock Follies” by guests. This has prompted bartenders to create the cocktail bearing the same name. Five O’clock Follies cocktail combines Bacardi rum and cucumber and lemon juices.
