Fairmont is known 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. 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 destined 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.

Omer Acar, Chief Executive Officer, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts said, “It is with immense pleasure that we welcome guests to Fairmont Hanoi, marking our inaugural property in Vietnam and unveiling a distinctive new destination for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Vietnam is a nation we have long admired for its profound creativity, remarkable resilience, and rich cultural heritage, a spirit which Fairmont Hanoi embodies in every meticulously crafted detail. From its world-class culinary and beverage offerings to the tranquillity of its serene spa as well as each thoughtfully designed space, Fairmont Hanoi is conceived as a genuine gathering place – a vibrant social epicentre where celebrations naturally unfold, cherished memories are forged, and everyday moments are elevated into truly unforgettable experiences. This is more than a hotel; it is a captivating home within the city, where luxury, culture, and profound connection converge.”

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.

In addition, the hotel has established a new benchmark for elevated events, presenting versatile spaces meticulously designed for gatherings of every scale and significance. At the heart of its offerings lies the Old Quarter’s most expansive ballroom, a magnificent 1115 square metre 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) centre encompasses over 4,000 square meters – a truly remarkable footprint, particularly compelling given its prime city-centre location.

Fairmont Hanoi joins some of the most storied addresses in the world and we are excited to showcase how we’ve blended our brand’s century-long heritage with the distinctive culture, character, and daily rhythm of Hanoi unfolding around us. For over a century, Fairmont properties around the world have consistently stood at the centre of pivotal historical moments and now at Fairmont Hanoi, that legacy finds a new expression – one rooted in place, enriched by local artistry, and guided by warm, heartfelt service. We are honoured to begin a chapter of special and meaningful moments that will be uniquely Hanoi.”
