Located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, Rex Hotel impresses the public by its fascinated architecture with the harmony of modern and traditional beauty. The hotel was honored to receive the Vietnam Tourism Award 2010 in the top 10 leading 5-star hotels and ASEAN Green Hotel Award 2010 - 2011.
With the slogan: “Rex Hotel – Your Vietnam home”, the hotel not only maintains the traditional features, provides bedroom services with Vietnamese cultural characteristics and Vietnamese food… but also attracts visitors by professional staff having high sense of creating a green hotel.
In the competitive and development strategy, Rex Hotel has applied energy saving solutions such as: replacing incandescent bulbs by compact bulbs; installing throttles in taps to save water; replacing refrigerators using CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) which destroys the ozone layer by non-CFC ones and installing extra water meter to control water consumption. The hotel has also installed extra sieve in the sink to reduce solid waste slipping into the waste water system.
Besides, the hotel sells organic waste to cattlemen and classifies inorganic waste to sell to garbage collectors. For toxic waste, the hotel contracts with outside companies to collect and treat. The hotel also organizes training programs for staff on solid waste management.
Thanks to these solutions, Rex Hotel not only ensures sustainable development goal and improves competitiveness in the market but also creates visitors’ trust in its environmentally friendly products.
