Group and Event Manager

Fairmont Hanoi has officially opened its doors in the heart of Vietnam’s capital, marking the debut of the Fairmont brand in the country. The 241-room luxury hotel draws inspiration from the artistry of Vietnamese lacquer, blended with the rich tones of traditional culture and the elegance of Indochinese design from the French colonial era, alongside motifs influenced by Vietnam’s dynasties.

Positioned as an urban resort, Fairmont Hanoi offers a distinctive collection of experiences, including eight dining and bar venues featuring a rooftop terrace, two indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a dedicated wellness floor with an immersive spa and bathhouse.

For corporate and social gatherings, the hotel features three ballrooms, highlighted by a 1,100m² grand ballroom, along with nine versatile meeting rooms, establishing it as a premier destination for meetings, conferences, and events.

Fairmont Hanoi is set to become the city’s new social epicentre, where luxury, culture, and community converge.
