In the enchanting city of Hanoi, where the whispers of a thousand years of civilization linger in the air, a jewel in the realm of luxury hospitality - the Capella Hanoi. This petite auberge, nestled near the iconic Hanoi Opera House, is not just a hotel; it's a passage to the halcyon days of opera, a tribute to an era when art and elegance reigned supreme.

A Portal to the Past

The Capella Hanoi, designed by the illustrious "Resort king" Bill Bensley, is a celebration of art nouveau architecture, a toast to the Roaring Twenties. Each of the 47 uniquely styled rooms and suites is a canvas where history meets luxury. From the custom portraiture art by Kate Spade to the operatic memorabilia adorning the walls, every detail at Capella Hanoi is a nod to the grandeur of the opera.

Dining as an Art Form

At Capella Hanoi, dining transcends the ordinary. The Michelin-selected Backstage Restaurant is not just about food; it's an experience, a culinary performance where each dish is a masterpiece. In the bar, under the gaze of portraits of luminaries like Anna Held and Coco Chanel, guests can savour bespoke cocktails, each a tribute to the legends of a bygone era.

A mere 5-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, the symbol of Hanoi's spirit, the hotel stands as a beacon of luxury and history. Its magnificent architecture, inspired by the Hanoi Opera House, is a testament to the city's cultural richness.

The Auriga Spa, a blend of tropical and royal Vietnamese architectural motifs, offers a regal retreat, while the corridors leading to the Backstage restaurant mimic the glamorous walk of artists amidst flashlights.
