Hotel information
Set just moments away from the iconic Hanoi Opera House and the city’s intriguing Old Quarter, Capella Hanoi boasts a prime location in Vietnam’s intriguing capital city.
Featuring 47 rooms and suites each individually designed by Bill Bensley, the hotel’s décor is something of a living time capsule. Channelling the glamour of the ‘roaring twenties’, you’ll find original memorabilia, costumes and set displays from the opera theatre placed across the hotel, along with rooms inspired by the historic Grand Opera.
This hotel isn’t just about style though. Combining the essence of Art Nouveau opulence with modern luxury, you can be immersed in the riches of Hanoi’s culture and heritage. To get a taste of it, head to Backstage, the restaurant which uses local produce to create exciting Vietnamese cuisine. Or, take a seat at Diva’s Lounge, a sophisticated Art-Deco style lounge that evokes the buzzing spirit of the Grand Opera. Hidden away in the basement, you’ll also find a teppanyaki restaurant with a selection of sake and Japanese whiskey to try.
For more, you can make the most of the Capella Culturists. These Hanoi experts are on hand to help you experience the essence of the city through unforgettable travel experiences. From learning about Bat Trang ceramics, to trying your hand at lacquer painting and taking tai chi along Hoan Kiem Lake, you’re bound to leave with lifelong memories.
