Officially opened at a time of great significance when Vietnam has just fully opened up to international tourism, Capella Hanoi boasted itself as a “jewel in the heart of Hanoi”.

Nestled in the Old Quarter, close to Hoan Kiem Lake and surrounded by eclectic restaurants, bars, shops and markets, the hotel is the first-ever artwork of famous hotel and resort designer Bill Bensley in Vietnam’s capital city.

Cristiano Rinaldi, the President of Capella Hotel Group, said that the opening of Capella Hanoi is an extraordinary chance to continue the group's growth in Vietnam, delivering Capella’s distinctive service and cultural experiences.
