Accor has unveiled plans to introduce the iconic Fairmont brand to Vietnam, with the signing of The Fairmont Hanoi.
Slated to open in 2024, the 241-key luxury hotel will be situated in the city centre, adjacent to Ly Thai To and Tran Nguyen Han streets.
For more than a century, Fairmont hotels have served as the extraordinary settings for globally significant moments in history. Wherever Fairmont resides, its hotels are at the cultural and social epicentre of the community; steeped in local experience and deeply rooted in the places they call home.
Designed by Perkins Eastman and Aston Design, the architecture and interior design of Fairmont Hanoi is the result of extensive research into the culture and history of Thang Long. The hotel will take inspiration from the art of lacquer with the traditional colours of Vietnam, the Indochinese style from the French colonial period, and draws motifs from Vietnam’s dynasties.
Fairmont Hanoi will allow guests to discover an urban resort with a wide range of offerings such as six dining and bar venues including a rooftop restaurant, along with two indoor and outdoor swimming pools, an extensive gym, wellness spa and bathhouse. The hotel will also feature an expansive 1,000m2 grand ballroom as well as nine meeting rooms.
“The signing of the first Fairmont city hotel in Vietnam is a significant step forward in Accor’s development within the country,” says Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer of Accor Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. “Our ambition is to debut a greater collection of premium and luxury offerings to meet the rapidly growing demand for high-end hospitality in the market. Fairmont Hanoi will offer an experience that is steeped in local culture and is sure to become intrinsic to the local neighbourhood. The signing of this iconic address demonstrates our appreciation for Vietnam’s development of tourism and its ability to provide leading hotel standards.”
