1880: The project to build the Hotel Continental Palace was realized by Pierre Cazeau, a home-appliance and construction material manufacturer.
1911: The Hotel was bought by Duke Monpensier.
1920s: Catinat street, where the Hotel Continental Palace located, was Saigon's "Canebière" - the name of a street in the city of Marseille, France. The famous French writer André Malreaux and his wife Clara were among the hotel''s permanent clients during 1924-1925.
1930: Mathieu Franchini bought the hotel and ran it successfully for 30 years. After the defeat at Dien Bien Phu, the French colonial regime came to an end, and together with the withdraw of the French troop from Vietnam was the departure of Mathieu Franchini. During the World War II, many an American weekly magazine had its bureau installed at the Continental hotel; the Times on the first floor while the Newsweek the second.
1964-1975: Philippe, Mathieu Franchini's son, who had run the hotel until 1964, left Vietnam like his father before him. Then came the time when "Newsmen covering the Vietnam War measured the ups and downs of its course by the fortunes of the hotel, "according to Martin Meade, Joseph Fitchett and Anthony Lawrence in their book "Great oriented Hotels". Or as William Tuohy, Newsweek magazine''s Saigon bureau chief, wrote in his book "Dangerous Company": "After writing our stories, we would gather around the Continental Hotel for dinner and drinks. Many drinks.".
1975: Some weeks after April 30, 1975, the hotel was closed.
1986: The Hotel Continental was officially under the management of the Saigon Tourist Holding Company.
Sep. 1989 till now, a new Hotel Continental was re-born, yet its original French colonial architecture remained almost unchanged and once again the Hotel Continental becomes a great place of rendezvous to the business travelers as well as the tourists, who wish both to breathe the romantic and elegant air and to enjoy the luxurious and modern facilities at the same time, a unique experience that no other hotels in HoChiMinh City, or Saigon, can offer.
