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.
