Hotel de l’Opera Hanoi – MGallery

Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi is a five-star boutique hotel in Accor's MGallery collection, and its theme is announced in the name. The hotel brings together French colonial architecture and operatic interiors under the idea of a night at the opera, and its setting on Trang Tien Street, the same street as the Hanoi Opera House, suits that story well.

The hotel's venues continue the theatrical feel. Lautrec is the main dining room, Son Mai is a second venue, and La Fee Verte is the bar. The combination makes it easy to spend an evening in the hotel, with dinner followed by a drink, before or after a stroll to Hoan Kiem Lake. Breakfast and the bar are good ways to sample the style even if you are not staying.

For relaxation there is the Harmonie Spa, a wellness space called The Soularium and a fitness centre, and the hotel has a pool. Check the official website for the latest room descriptions, and choose a higher category if you want more space. The hotel has collected several awards, including Best Luxury Boutique Hotel in Vietnam in 2023 from the Haute Grandeur Global Awards and a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award in 2024. It also lists an award for Best Culinary Experience in Asia in 2026, so its restaurants are worth considering even if you are staying elsewhere.

The location is a strong point. The main sights of the centre, including the lake, Ngoc Son Temple, St Joseph's Cathedral and the Old Quarter, are within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Hoa Lo Prison is in the same ward, Cua Nam. Be aware that the Opera House has been closed for renovation since January 2026, so performances there are not currently on offer.

The hotel suits couples and travellers who want a stylish, characterful base with five-star facilities but a more intimate scale than the largest international hotels. It is also a good choice for a first visit to the city, as the centre is easy to explore on foot from here. Contact the hotel on +84 24 6282 5555 or book through the official website.
