Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has officially opened Fairmont Hanoi, marking the luxury brand’s first property in Vietnam and a significant milestone in its global expansion.
Located in the heart of Hanoi’s historic Old Quarter, just steps from Hoàn Kiếm Lake, the hotel introduces Fairmont’s century-old hospitality heritage to one of Southeast Asia’s most culturally layered capitals. Designed to reflect the dialogue between Hanoi’s past and present, the opening positions the property as both a destination hotel and a new social focal point for the city.
The arrival of Fairmont Hanoi reinforces Vietnam’s growing appeal as a luxury travel destination while signaling Accor’s continued investment in high-end, design-driven hospitality across Asia. With its scale, location, and breadth of offerings, the hotel sets out to redefine contemporary luxury in Hanoi by blending international standards with local artistry and cultural depth.
A New Luxury Landmark in Hanoi’s Old Quarter
Fairmont Hanoi features 241 guestrooms, including 38 Fairmont Gold rooms and 12 suites, each designed with a calm, refined aesthetic inspired by Hanoi’s relationship with the Red River and the surrounding Old Quarter.
Rooms offer views of the historic neighborhood, the city skyline, or an inner garden, providing a sense of retreat within the capital’s constant movement. The Presidential Suite combines Art Deco influences with Vietnamese design elements, creating one of the city’s most distinctive luxury accommodations.
The hotel is also home to Hanoi’s largest pillarless ballroom, a 12,000-square-foot venue designed to host large-scale social events, conferences, and celebrations. In total, the property offers more than 43,000 square feet of meeting and event space, making it a major addition to the city’s MICE landscape. This focus on gatherings reflects Fairmont’s long-standing tradition of positioning its hotels as centers of social life within their destinations.
Architecturally, the hotel balances contemporary lines with handcrafted Vietnamese details. Designed by Perkins Eastman and Aston Design, the interiors emphasize flow, light, and proportion, drawing inspiration from spiritual rituals, historical landmarks, and everyday life in Hanoi.
Dining, Wellness, and Social Life at Fairmont Hanoi
Fairmont Hanoi launched with an extensive food and beverage program spanning eight restaurants, bars, and lounges, reinforcing its ambition to become a culinary destination in its own right.
Dining venues include Tran Dynasty, where chef Luke Nguyen presents a modern interpretation of Vietnamese cuisine; Hiryu, a Japanese restaurant featuring sushi, teppanyaki, and private dining; and Bacco, led by Michelin-starred chef Nicolas Isnard, offering Italian and Mediterranean dishes with theatrical table-side elements. Additional venues include 10 Central Café, YY Bar, the Fairmont Gold Lounge, and a forthcoming Pool Terrace & Bar overlooking the city.
Wellness plays a central role in the hotel’s positioning. Fairmont Hanoi introduced the city’s inaugural Fitness & Wellness Club, a 38,000-square-foot urban retreat anchored by the Circa Spa. Facilities include a signature bathhouse with hydrotherapy and thermal experiences, plunge pools, saunas, steam rooms, ten private treatment rooms, and a fully equipped fitness studio designed for both physical recovery and mental balance.
With its opening, Fairmont Hanoi establishes itself as a defining new address in Hanoi, combining global luxury with a deeply rooted sense of place and signaling a new chapter for high-end hospitality in Vietnam.
