Theatrical opera set-piece
Public spaces evoke a grand performance hall, conceived as an immersive stage set crowned by Paris-inspired glass architecture.
What it’s good at
Notable
An eight-storey central atrium framed by jewel-toned velvet furnishings and dressing-room vanity mirrors.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This boutique-style hotel, however, really does demonstrate character, a singularly stylish vision that offers an extraordinary alternative to budget guesthouses or corporate monoliths.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Hanoi Opera House stands just down Tràng Tiền Street, and Hoàn Kiếm Lake is a short walk away.
The rooms
Bathrooms mimic backstage dressing rooms with lighted vanity mirrors and mosaic tiles. Beds come dressed in deep velvet.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated third-floor pool sits under a glass roof and looks out over Tràng Tiền Street.
The spa and gym
Harmonie Spa offers treatments using Sothys Paris products, alongside a sauna, steam room, and chandelier-lit fitness center.
Restaurant
Café Lautrec
This brasserie sits inside the central atrium, serving Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and daily breakfast from an open kitchen.
At the table
La Fée Verte pours absinthe cocktails beneath an illuminated counter, and Sơn Mài serves Vietnamese specialities.
How it began
The building began life as the French colonial Dân Chủ Hotel before reopening in 2011 with an opera theme.
