Dusit Hotels and Resorts, the hotel arm of Thailand’s leading hospitality brand Dusit International, is expanding its footprint in Vietnam with the opening of Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi on 9 May 2025. Situated along the peaceful banks of Hanoi’s iconic West Lake, the property promises a refined blend of Thai-inspired hospitality and Vietnamese cultural elegance.

This marks Dusit’s debut in the capital city and its second property in Vietnam, following the success of Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort in Phu Quoc. The new hotel is nestled in the historic Tay Ho district, an area known for its cultural richness and artisanal heritage, and draws inspiration from Princess Từ Hoa, a royal figure celebrated for her contribution to the local silk industry.

A daughter of Emperor Lý Thần Tông, Princess Từ Hoa left the royal palace to teach silk weaving to locals in Nghi Tàm, the very area the hotel now occupies. Her story is woven into the hotel’s design and philosophy, creating a unique retreat that pays tribute to craftsmanship, community, and cultural pride.

The hotel houses 207 elegantly designed rooms and suites offering views of either the West Lake or the Hanoi skyline. Each room blends contemporary luxury with Vietnamese aesthetics, supported by Dusit’s hallmark warm and intuitive service, catering to both business and leisure travellers.

Culinary offerings include Soi Restaurant serving authentic Thai cuisine, Vinci Italian Restaurant and Rooftop Bar with panoramic city views, Phở Lụa for a Vietnamese street-food experience focused on the country’s signature noodle soup, and Dusit Gourmet for pastries, coffee, and afternoon tea. The hotel also features four private dining rooms for exclusive events.

Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi goes beyond accommodation, offering a fully equipped gym, wellness activity spaces, three ballrooms, and a rooftop event venue ideal for weddings, conferences, and social gatherings.

"We are honoured to expand our presence in Vietnam and bring Dusit's distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality to Hanoi for the very first time," said Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. "Inspired by the remarkable legacy of Princess Từ Hoa, Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi is much more than a new hotel—it is a celebration of cultural heritage, artistic spirit, and heartfelt service."

Located on Au Co Street, just 20 minutes from Noi Bai International Airport, the hotel offers easy access to Hanoi’s key cultural attractions, making it a convenient luxury option for global and domestic travellers alike.

To commemorate the opening, Dusit is offering a special Princess' Welcome package exclusively for Dusit Gold members. The offer includes daily breakfast for two, early check-in, late check-out, a welcome drink, complimentary room upgrades (subject to availability), and up to 25% off dining. Dusit Gold membership is free and can be registered online at dusit.com/enrollment.

Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi is poised to become a cultural landmark that honours the past while embracing the future, offering a serene and immersive experience in the heart of Vietnam’s capital.
