Hanoi

Luxury Hanoi Travel

Get a glimpse of Vietnam’s past as well as its present in the country’s colorful and frenetic capital city of Hanoi. Motorbikes sputter and beep their way down streets hemmed by colonial architecture and carts heaped with fruit and sweets, hidden cafés and bars await discovery, and local life plays out along the railway tracks.

Experience the essence of this metropolis through its street food and by visiting iconic landmarks like St. Joseph Cathedral and Hoa Lo Prison. Tour the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts and Temple of Literature with an art historian and learn about the essential role of artists during the resistance, revolution, and reconstruction periods of Vietnam, or discover the historical significance of Vietnamese tea with a unique tea ceremony led by artisan Hoang Anh Suong. Wind down the day with a steaming bowl of pho and a local draft beer, Bia Hoi, perched atop one of the low barstools that dot humble restaurant patios—one of the best things to do in Vietnam.

At Capella Hanoi, you’ll enjoy a sophisticated stay in this dynamic city. Set on a quiet boulevard on the shores of Hoan Kiem Lake—a lake and greenspace in the heart of the city—this hotel is an elegant ode to the roaring 20s and Hanoi’s opera culture, boasting exquisite suites and Vietnam’s only Michelin-star hotel.
