Created by legendary designer Bill Bensley, Capella Hanoi is an architectural masterpiece inspired by the golden age of opera, where each suite is a separate chapter in the story of Hanoi's history and art in the 1920s. With only 47 rooms, the hotel captivates guests with its refined service, highly personalized living spaces, and meticulous attention to the smallest details. Since its opening, Capella Hanoi has quickly become a favorite destination for connoisseurs and travelers who wish to explore Hanoi through the lens of culture, art, and high personalization.
Just a 5-minute walk from the Opera House - an iconic structure of Hanoi's capital - and the Old Quarter, the hotel boasts unique Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture, recreating a luxurious inn for famous artists and composers during the golden age of Opera. From the outside, the hotel, with its main colors of gold, white, and cream, is a combination of the nostalgic charm of French architecture and the elegant, free-spirited space of old Indochinese architecture.
Not only limited to accommodation, Capella Hanoi also scores strongly in the culinary field. Hibana by Koki restaurant, with 3 consecutive years of receiving 1 Michelin star, has been honored by Robb Report, a prestigious magazine specializing in luxury lifestyle reviews, as one of the 25 best restaurants in Vietnam. This recognition once again affirms the top quality of Hibana by Koki and Capella Hanoi's serious investment in creating distinctive culinary experiences.

Capella Hanoi is also an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation. With the beautiful Auriga Spa and La Grotta swimming pool, the hotel offers a tranquil space like an oasis in the heart of the city.
Capella Hanoi is no stranger to international rankings. In 2025, the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia-Pacific 2025 honored the hotel at #2 in the category “Best City Hotel in Vietnam”.
