Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has opened Fairmont Hanoi, the brand’s first hotel in Vietnam. The property is located in Hanoi’s Old Quarter near Hoàn Kiếm Lake and is owned by GELEX Group.
Fairmont Hanoi includes 241 guest rooms, 38 Fairmont Gold rooms and 12 suites. The hotel also features eight restaurants and bars, a wellness facility and the largest pillarless ballroom in the Old Quarter.
The property was designed by Perkins Eastman and Aston Design. Its design references Hanoi’s relationship with the Red River and draws from cultural rituals, spirituality and the surrounding Old Quarter. The Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long is also cited as a design influence.
“It is with immense pleasure that we welcome guests to Fairmont Hanoi, marking our inaugural property in Vietnam and unveiling a distinctive new destination for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Vietnam is a nation we have long admired for its profound creativity, remarkable resilience, and rich cultural heritage, a spirit which Fairmont Hanoi embodies in every meticulously crafted detail. From its world-class culinary and beverage offerings to the tranquility of its serene spa as well as each thoughtfully designed space, Fairmont Hanoi is conceived as a genuine gathering place – a vibrant social epicenter where celebrations naturally unfold, cherished memories are forged, and everyday moments are elevated into truly unforgettable experiences. This is more than a hotel; it is a captivating home within the city, where luxury, culture, and profound connection converge,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
Dining venues include Tran Dynasty, Hiryu, Bacco, Pool Terrace & Bar, 10 Central Café, YY Bar and Fairmont Gold Lounge. Tran Dynasty is led by Chef Luke Nguyen and serves contemporary Vietnamese cuisine, while Hiryu offers Japanese dining and Bacco features Italian cuisine.
“Fairmont Hanoi has been envisioned as a new landmark at the heart of the capital’s economic and commercial center, a place where historical depth meets contemporary spirit. Beyond its role as an iconic development, the project reflects GELEX’s long-term commitment to partnering with Hanoi in creating sustainable values, contributing to a modern and civilized urban landscape while preserving the city’s cultural identity and depth,” said Lê Tuấn Anh, deputy CEO of GELEX Group.
“We are delighted to indulge our guests in Fairmont’s distinguished hospitality and its premier presence in Hanoi. Fairmont Hanoi joins some of the most storied addresses in the world and we are excited to showcase how we’ve blended our brand’s century-long heritage with the distinctive culture, character, and daily rhythm of Hanoi unfolding around us. For over a century, Fairmont properties around the world have consistently stood at the center of pivotal historical moments and now at Fairmont Hanoi, that legacy finds a new expression – one rooted in place, enriched by local artistry, and guided by warm, heartfelt service. We are honored to begin a chapter of special and meaningful moments that will be uniquely Hanoi,” said Jean-François Brun, general manager of Fairmont Hanoi.
