Capella Hanoi
A Roaring Twenties reverie in the Old Quarter
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

An emblem of grace and grandeur, drama and design, the Hanoi Opera House has been a must-see landmark in the Old Quarter of Hanoi since the neoclassical structure emerged in the early 1900s. And now, the spirit of the opera lives on at the nearby Capella Hanoi, where rich cultural elements and Roaring Twenties glamour converge.
Every detail of this 47-room luxury hotel was left to the imagination of decorated designer Bill Bensley, who also happens to be the creative force behind Bali’s Capella Ubud and Cambodia’s Shinta Mani Wild, among other magical escapes. For this project, Bensley conjured up visions of a petite auberge — a little boutique hotel where actors, opera singers, composers, stage and costume designers and spectators liked to stay in opera’s golden age.
As with many of Bensley’s designs, stepping inside the hotel feels like walking into an enchanting alternate universe. Each unique room and suite pays tribute to different opera talents, while the property’s theatrical dining destinations showcase authentic turn-of-the-century artifacts. Meanwhile, Capella’s curated cultural experiences — think tai chi beside Hoan Kiem Lake and intimate Song Cai gin distillery visits — celebrate the many treasures in Vietnam’s capital.
