American television channels express admiration for the apartment building at 42 Nguyen Hue Street.

Located on Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, the apartment building at 42 Nguyen Hue is an incredibly impressive highlight of Saigon's busiest and most vibrant street. Recently, the National Geographic fan page – a famous American television channel – posted images of the apartment building at 42 Nguyen Hue along with an introduction expressing delight: "In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, an old 9-story apartment building has been transformed into a hub of cafes, restaurants, and co-working spaces. It looks fascinating."

Creating coffee-drinking spaces in apartment buildings is a familiar trend and extremely popular among Saigon residents. Specifically at 42 Nguyen Hue, the entire nine-story old building has been renovated and transformed into ideal spots for enjoying tea and coffee, and for taking photos, for both locals and tourists. From the balconies of these cafes, you can gaze out at the vibrant pedestrian street and admire the bustling city. Or, conversely, from the pedestrian street, you can look up at 42 Nguyen Hue to see the unique and colorful atmosphere of the cafes.

Within the apartment complex, there are many local cafes developed and built by Saigonese people themselves, such as: Saigon Oi Cafe, Mango Tree, Boo Coffee, Orientea, Thinker and Dreamer, Buihaus Coffee & Workshop, The Maker Concept 7, Delight Kafe & Tea, Partea - English Tearoom, ...

Due to its unique and convenient design style, the apartment complex at 42 Nguyen Hue attracts many visitors every year. This is a typical and characteristic example of space-saving design in Saigon. In particular, the cafes here each have their own distinct style, unlike any other.
