The Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee and Politburo member, Le Thanh Hai was also present at the ceremony, and the hotel in the recent past has hosted many international leaders while successfully organising many large-scale national events.
Dropping the old name of the Thanh Hotel in 1990, the Rex has gradually improved its services, particularly since 1997 and is now the first hotel in the south to receive the Labour Hero title.
For the occasion, the manager of the Rex Hotel, Ha Truong My, was honoured with a title for his contribution to the development of the company, which was awarded to him by the Prime Minister.
The hotel has worked with the Raffles Hotel and Resort human resources team to train staff and apply international management technologies and techniques in order to upgrade from a four-star to a five-star hotel.
The Rex annual turnover growth rate is 16%, and they have set a target of US$500 million by 2010 and US$1 billion by 2015.
