Statements from Leadership
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 tranquility of its serene spa as well as each thoughtfully designed space, Fairmont Hanoi is conceived as a genuine gathering place—a vibrant social epicenter 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.”
Mr. Lê Tuấn Anh, deputy chief executive officer of GELEX Group, representing the owner of Fairmont Hanoi, said, “Fairmont Hanoi has been envisioned as a new landmark at the heart of the capital’s economic and commercial center, a place where historical depth meets contemporary spirit. Beyond its role as an iconic development, the project reflects GELEX’s long-term commitment to partnering with Hanoi in creating sustainable values, contributing to a modern and civilized urban landscape while preserving the city’s cultural identity and depth.”
Design
Fairmont Hanoi’s design is inspired by Hanoi’s relationship with the Red River, which can be seen through layered spaces. The forthcoming Presidential Suite combines Art Deco touches and Vietnamese style. The rooms offer views of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, city skyline, or inner garden.

The hotel continues Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ tradition of creating the social hub of its destination with its curated culinary and cocktails through a range of eight restaurants, bars, and lounges on property.
At Tran Dynasty, chef Luke Nguyen presents an interpretation of Vietnam’s culinary heritage. Signature dishes include slow-cooked beef steeped in date and spices; sea bass baked in clay; and “phở trộn” (mixed pho).

Bacco, led by chef Nicolas Isnard, serves authentic Mediterranean flavors from day through evening. Table-side offerings include pasta tossed in a giant cheese wheel and sauces finished with a final shave.
High above Hanoi, the Pool Terrace & Bar mixes natural tones, greenery, textured uniforms, and Vietnam’s golden light come together. While these two destinations will debut in the near future, 10 Central Café, YY Bar, and Fairmont Gold Lounge are already welcoming guests with curated offerings.
