Location

Located between the Red River Delta and the verdant northern highlands, Hanoi has long attracted travelers with its temples, lantern-lit streets, fragrant street food, and bustling craft markets.

Design

With glittering chandeliers, marble statues and ornamental gold detailing, the hotel reflects the architectural trends of the glamorous 1920s. Designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley, it is reminiscent of a petite auberge during the golden age of opera. The interiors are exceptionally stylish with red velvet drapes, bronze surfaces, Art Deco-style columns and gilded cocktail bars. Spa facilities include a cold plunge pool, steam room, sauna, and freshwater pool room adorned with crystal chandeliers and mirrored ceilings, designed to resemble a haven for opera singers to rest their voices. There is a rooftop bar, an opulent lounge, and 47 spacious, tastefully designed suites, including four Grand Opera Suites complete with private balconies, open-air Jacuzzis, opera memorabilia, and custom artworks.

Activities

With jazz evenings, Michelin-star dining, and bespoke spa treatments to be enjoyed at the hotel, it may feel hard to draw yourself away to explore further afield. But with a carefully tailored selection of experiences, from bamboo weaving to rice wine distilling and traditional Vietnamese coffee tastings, there is plenty on offer. Discover the city’s vibrant arts scene through ceramics, leather-making, and lacquer-painting workshops with local craftsmen. Take part in a culinary class led by a celebrated chef, or a sunrise tai chi masterclass beneath the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Stroll through the bustling streets of the Old Quarter with a private guide, discovering temple courtyards and artisanal craft markets, and witness a memorable performance at Hanoi Opera House.
