Reunification Conference Hall

Reunification Conference Hall, also called Thong Nhat Conference Hall or Presidential Palace, is one of the most attractive historical sites of Ho Chi Minh City, which attracts tourists in Vietnam travel. It was built in 1865 on the grounds of Norodom Palace as a residence for the French Governor General of Cochinchina.

Reunification Conference Hall is located on No.106 Nguyen Du Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. It was built in 1865 on the grounds of Norodom Palace as a residence for the French Governor General of Cochinchina.


After 1954, Ngo Dinh Diem and his family lived in the Norodom Palace. In February 1963, a dissident launched an air bombardment and heavily damaged it. Diem rebuilt the palace, which was later replaced by another one, called the Independence Palace. It was designed by Western-trained architect Ngo Viet Thu. The construction was undertaken by Saigon engineers and was completed in 1966.
