Another interesting bit — the Dong Khoi street used to be known as “Rue Catinat”. I keep noticing the coffee chain “Katinat” around Vietnam. Maybe it’s named after this street? (Which in turn is named after a French general)

Anyway, here’s a Katinat branch on the former Rue Catinat!

1-2. Hotel Continental. Popular hang out spot for politicians/journalists. Right next to the Opera House.
3-4. Saigon Palace (renamed to Hotel Grand)
