Capella Hanoi
Capella Hanoi Opens Its Doors, Reviving The Vibrant Spirit Of The Roaring 1920s In The Capital’s Old Quarter
Capella Hanoi has officially opened its doors, ushering in a new era of art and elegance in the heart of Vietnam's vibrant capital city. Located just steps away from the iconic Hanoi Opera House, this beautiful boutique hotel has been dreamt up as a "petite auberge" - a rendezvous spot for the greatest opera singers, composers and artists of a glamorous bygone age.
Nestled in the French-influenced Old Quarter, close to Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounded by eclectic restaurants, bars, shops and markets, Capella Hanoi was designed by Bill Bensley, the highly-acclaimed architect behind Capella Ubud, Bali, the "No.1 Hotel in the World" in 2020.
The 47 themed rooms and suites at Capella Hanoi (ranging from a generous 35 sqm to an expansive 194 sqm) are individually styled with original operatic artefacts and custom portraiture art by prolific artist Kate Spencer, and equipped with bespoke services and state-of-the-art amenities. Crowning the hotel, four Opera Suites open out onto spacious alfresco terraces with views of the tree-lined avenues below.
The hotel's signature restaurant, Backstage, presents a dramatic backdrop of theatrical costumes and vintage tableware, as talented chefs craft exceptional cuisine, including vegan dishes and northern Vietnamese-inspired specialties that fuse locally-sourced produce and contemporary cooking techniques. Diva's Lounge meanwhile, pays tribute to the leading ladies of the 1920s with bohemian cocktails and Opera Punches, accompanied by Diva's Bar bites.
