Opening in February 2026 Fairmont Hanoi invites guests to immerse themselves in the modern heartbeat of the capital, a captivating fusion of contemporary design and authentic local artistry
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of the world leading hospitality group Accor, today proudly announces the opening of Fairmont Hanoi, the luxury brand’s first property in Vietnam. The hotel, which blends local heritage, modern design and curated art, offers 241 elegantly appointed guest rooms; 38 Fairmont Gold rooms and 12 spacious suites; eight bars and restaurants; an exquisite wellness facility; and Hanoi’s largest pillarless ballroom. Rooted in Fairmont’s celebrated century-long heritage and enriched by Hanoi’s remarkable thousand-year cultural legacy, Fairmont Hanoi, thoughtfully designed by Perkins Eastman and Aston Design, is poised to usher guests into a new chapter of Vietnamese luxury hospitality. Through a wide array of thoughtfully curated guest experiences, the property is set to redefine elegance as a tapestry woven with local artistry and delivered with genuine, heartfelt care.
Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is internationally renowned for creating landmark destinations that become deeply rooted in the cities they reside in – from New York and San Francisco to London, Dubai, Singapore and beyond. Guided by its global celebratory philosophy “Make Special Happen,” Fairmont is known for transforming meaningful moments into lasting memories through heartfelt service, unforgettable experiences, and a deep respect for local heritage.
Marking a significant debut as the first Fairmont in Vietnam, Fairmont Hanoi majestically rises in the vibrant heart of the Old Quarter, steps from the iconic Hoàn Kiếm Lake. The property establishes a new benchmark for contemporary luxury hospitality in the capital and is destinated to emerge as the city’s definitive social hub, seamlessly integrating with Hanoi’s buzzing pulse, deeply grounded in centuries of heritage yet confidently embracing contemporary dynamism. Modern architectural lines find harmony with Vietnamese artistry, global refinement is thoughtfully shaped by local craft, and each experience beautifully echoes the city’s enduring dialogue between its storied past and vibrant present.
Elegant Accommodations in the Old Quarter of Hanoi
At first glance, Fairmont Hanoi draws travellers and locals in through a design inspired by Hanoi’s enduring relationship with the Red River – a quiet, continuous storyteller that inspires a design language of flow, balance, and depth. This sensibility unfolds through gracious, layered spaces where movement slows, proportions breathe, and light is treated as a design material. Cultural rituals and everyday spirituality inform interiors that feel grounded and contemplative, offering calm within the city’s rhythm. The intimacy of the Old Quarter introduces texture and human scale, while the Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long anchors composition with clarity, order, and permanence.
Moving the lens closer, Fairmont Hanoi’s 241 elegantly appointed guest rooms have been designed with quiet confidence. This includes the forthcoming and much coveted Presidential Suite where Art Deco touches meet Vietnamese grace to become a statement for privacy, presence, and possibility. A further 38 Fairmont Gold rooms and 12 spacious suites complete the offering. Guests can enjoy serene views of Hanoi’s quintessential Old Quarter, city skyline, or inner garden, providing the perfect place to pause, restore, and feel at ease within Hanoi’s vibrant city.
If It’s Happening in Hanoi, It’s Happening at Fairmont Hanoi
Designed as The Modern Heartbeat of Hanoi, the hotel continues Fairmont Hotels & Resorts tradition of creating the social hub of its destination with its carefully curated culinary and cocktails. With an enviable array of eight restaurants, bars and lounges on property, the hotel is impeccably set to become Hanoi’s burgeoning heart of the city’s social and dining scene.
At Tran Dynasty, soon to welcome discerning palates, Celebrity Chef Luke Nguyen presents a contemporary interpretation of Vietnam’s culinary heritage, balancing refined flavors with thoughtful design. Each dish harkens back to tradition while moving forward with reinvention. Signature dishes include slow cooked beef steeped in date and spices; sea bass baked in clay; and “phở trộn” (mixed pho) reimagined with precision.
Hiryu offers a relaxed yet polished dining experience inspired by Japanese brushwork and the symbolism of the dragon. With each return, a new chapter awaits. One evening at the sushi counter, another at the teppanyaki table, or within a private room where the pace turns personal, each setting revealing its own world of discovery.
Bacco, led by Michelin-starred Chef Nicolas Isnard, brings a confident Italian sensibility, showcasing authentic Mediterranean flavours from day through evening. At its heart, an open kitchen commands the room: flames leaping, pans singing, sharing plates sweeping across the floor. Table-side flourishes bring theatre to the meal: pasta tossed in a giant cheese wheel; sauces finished with a fragrant final shave. Service here is ritual, celebration and performance.
High above Hanoi, the Pool Terrace & Bar is envisioned as an elevated retreat, where natural tones, lush greenery, textured uniforms, and Vietnam’s unmistakable golden light come together to create a setting that feels both refined and free-spirited. While these two destinations will be unveiled to guests in the near future, 10 Central Café, YY Bar and Fairmont Gold Lounge are already welcoming guests with thoughtfully curated offerings.
An Urban Oasis Within the City
Guests of Fairmont Hanoi are invited to discover an elevated realm of wellness, anchored by Hanoi’s inaugural Fitness & Wellness Club – a pioneering sanctuary dedicated to rejuvenation and vitality. The Cirua Spa, Fitness & Wellness Club is a spectacular 38,000 sq.ft urban retreat highlighting holistic well-being at its finest, with its ritual-led offerings comprising: a signature bathhouse with a range of hydrotherapy and thermal facilities; plunge pools, saunas, and steam rooms; and ten dedicated private treatment rooms. A cutting-edge fitness studio, thoughtfully curated to nurture both physical restoration and inner balance completes the impressive wellness experience.
The Old Quarter’s Largest Ballroom for all Celebrations
Fairmont Hanoi has established a new benchmark for elevated events, presenting versatile spaces meticulously designed for gatherings of every scale and significance, celebrating our guests’ most meaningful occasions. At the heart of its offerings lies the Old Quarter’s most expansive ballroom, a magnificent 12,000 sq.ft column-free venue. Complementing this grand space, guests will discover an array of additional elegant ballrooms and meeting rooms with natural light, collectively forming a dynamic and flexible destination ideal for distinguished celebrations, impactful conferences and memorable cultural moments. The hotel’s comprehensive MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) center encompasses over 4,000 square meters – a truly remarkable footprint, particularly compelling given its prime city-centre location.
