The magnificent Capella Hanoi brings its enchanting beauty to one of the city’s most desirable locations – Hoan Kiem in Hanoi’s nostalgic quarter. Adjacent to the iconic Hanoi Opera House, Capella Hanoi was dreamt up by Bill Bensley, the acclaimed architect behind Capella Ubud, Bali, the No. 1 Hotel in the World in 2020.
Capella Hanoi was conceived of as a palace of revelry during opera’s halcyon days. Behind the gilded door, the story begins. Guests can imagine opera’s greatest artists, singers, composers, set and costume designers flocking to this rendezvous spot after the final curtain call.
Within the 47-rooms and suites, the hotel’s thematic accommodations will surprise guests with original memorabilia salvaged from the glorious era of the 1920s, alongside portraits of some of the most famous opera characters reimagined by the prolific artist Kate Spencer.
While soaking in the romantic view of Hoan Kiem Lake, guests can expect to find a plethora of epicurean choices by culinary craftsmen and a curated glimpse of Hanoian treasures, which blend the grace of the French capital with authentic Vietnamese culture.
Conversation and Culture in The Living Room
Serving as the social heart of the hotel, The Living Room presents a collection of “Comoedia Illustré” vintage artwork and a program of Capella Moments. Every day, guests can discover the essence of northern Vietnam with classes led by experts in Dzó bamboo paper fan making, Vietnamese coffee cupping, Sarah Bernhardt’s cookie making, and the chance to sample Vietnamese rum.
Epicurean Experiences at Capella Hanoi
Backstage restaurant is the pride of Capella Hanoi thanks to its impressive architecture. This fine-dining restaurant brings guests behind the scenes at the Opera with props, colourful costumes, and lush red velvet décor. The unique menu is composed of Northern specialities and vegan dishes prepared from fresh local ingredients. The culinary artistry combines the delicacy and richness of Trang An cuisine.
At Diva’s Lounge, guests can indulge in classic cocktails, while enjoying the stories of world-famous 1920s Opera divas, told through design details, classical music, and even the flavours of the traditional snacks.
The Hudson Rooms, located on the rooftop of Capella Hanoi, are reminiscent of the craftsmanship and artistry of the Roaring Twenties in New York – that golden era which kicked off cocktail culture, intimate soirees, and delectable oyster recipes.
Hidden below the historic quarter of Hanoi lies Koki – the House of Senses. Dedicated to Japanese culinary arts, Koki is an immersive hideaway meticulously appointed with private rooms, an intimate living hall, and a top-notch sake parlour. Relish in the exclusivity of the acclaimed Teppanyaki Chef’s Table – Hibana, where culinarians draw inspiration from a vast array of ingredients that they prepare with heart, passion, and flair right in front of the guest’s eyes.
