"The swankiest stay in town, this Bill Bensley–designed, 47-room boutique channels the roaring 1920s next to the Opera House with gilt mirrors, feathered headpieces, and vintage gramophones; suites add freestanding bathtubs on snazzy terraces overlooking the French Quarter, and complimentary experiences include mixology workshops and guided architecture walks that reveal the neighborhood’s past." - Scott Campbell

"Set in the city, I found Capella Hanoi to channel the spirit of the opera through meticulous design that immerses guests in the city's cultural heartbeat." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Style: Modern Design. Atmosphere: Lively. It’s remarkable how much care has gone into this boutique hotel with just 47 rooms, designed by Bill Bensley to pay homage to the nearby opera house and its former lodgers. An extensive renovation created a hotel that is both unique and luxurious, with opera-themed touches throughout the rooms, Backstage restaurant, and Diva’s Lounge bar. And if you feel hungry, you don’t have to leave the building: the 2024 MICHELIN Guide recognises three on-site options, from the one MICHELIN Star Hibana by Koki’s 14-seat basement teppanyaki counter led by Chef Hiroshi Yamaguchi, to Izakaya by Koki’s modern setting with intimate sofas and complimentary sake, plus Backstage restaurant’s Vietnamese flavours in an opera-themed setting you shouldn’t miss." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng

"In the Vietnamese capital where French, Chinese, and Southeast Asian influences meet, this Bill Bensley–designed newcomer (opened in 2022) has quickly set a new benchmark for luxury. Evoking the spirit of the roaring twenties in the Old Quarter, its boutique design celebrates the emotion of opera, while a Capella Culturist helps tailor cultural dives—from porcelain and ceramic-making at Bat Trang Village to Vietnamese lacquer painting." - Faye Bradley
