Located in the heart of the enchanting city, known for its serene lakes and scenic boulevards, is L’Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi – MGallery. As the name suggests, the 107-room boutique hotel is within walking distance of the famous Hanoi Opera House, along with the city’s Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake.
The drama of ‘a night at the opera’ is captured in the rich décor of each guest room and suite. Stay in the sophisticated L’Opera Suite and enjoy views across the Vietnamese capital from the spacious lounge. The beds deliver a sense of elevation with an extra layer of mattress for the perfect night’s sleep. Suite benefits include breakfast, a complimentary drink at La Fée Verte and a late checkout. Each of the deluxe rooms provide warm, homely touches with wooden floors and fine linens.
Hanoi is known for its exquisite cuisine, and this is reflected within the hotel’s two French-inspired restaurants. Café Lautrec, named after the 19th-century painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, offers à la carte and buffet dining. Dishes on the menu include wok fried Nha Trang seafood in spicy sauce and Hanoian Pho. Satine offers classic Vietnamese cuisine with many local favourites and is dramatically set within the eight-storey atrium.
The signature bar La Fée Verte, or the ‘Green Fairy’, is a nod to the decadence of a bygone era where absinthe was the drink of choice among Parisian artists. Today, you can choose from cocktails, aged spirits and imported wines.
After a day exploring, you can relax in Hanoi’s only heated semi-outdoor swimming pool found on the third floor. From the warm waters you can enjoy views of the vibrant Trang Tien Street known for its bookshops and ice-cream. A well-equipped fitness centre, with TechnoGym, cardio and strength-training equipment is adjacent.
