Grand Mercure Hanoi opening marks brand debut in the capital

Ideally positioned in the heart of the city, close to the Temple of Literature and within walking distance of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long and Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, this characterful and culturally immersive hotel allows global explorers to uncover the heart and soul of Hanoi – a city with over 1,000 years of history.

The hotel's interior design concept is inspired by rice, the iconic grain that has come to symbolise the spirit of Vietnam’s villages and its people. The shimmering water-filled fields and hillside terraces where rice is grown and the colour and shape of the individual grains are showcased in many elements throughout the hotel, including the walls, ceilings, and tapestries.

Throughout their stay, guests can also admire the skill of local artisans with lacquerware from Ha Thai lacquer village, Chu Dau pottery from Hai Duong province, and Bat Trang's ceramics, which are on display all around the hotel, from lobby tables to in-room lamps, hallway vases, and more.

Within this treasure trove of arts and crafts, a choice of 181 rooms and suites ranging from the graceful 27-square metre Deluxe Rooms to the grand 116-sq.m Presidential Suite await travellers.

With exquisite interiors and state-of-the-art amenities, including 50-inch Smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, pod coffee machines, walk-in rain showers, and high-tech Japanese toilets, every visitor can discover their own private sanctuary. The 11 suites feature separate living areas, and the Executive Lounge provides an exclusive space for guests staying in the hotel’s premium accommodation to relax in comfort and privacy.

Grand Mercure Hanoi offers four restaurants and bars with originally curated culinary concepts. There are four diverse culinary and social venues, including Loc-Ally – which promises contemporary all-day dining with international flavours and local favourites – and Cat Vi – a signature 15^th floor Asian brasserie that blends the finest regional gastronomy and Vietnamese soul food with spectacular city views. Van’s lobby lounge is a great place to stay connected, meet with friends or colleagues, and grab light refreshments, and the Vivu Rooftop Sky Bar is a stunning setting to chill out and sip cool cocktails as the sun sets over the city’s most iconic attractions.

Grand Mercure Hanoi is an exceptional venue for meetings and events, with three inviting and flexible venues that can host a wide variety of business functions and social occasions. For life’s most important moments, the grand ballroom offers 324 sq.m of sophisticated, soundproof space with integrated screens and a state-of-the-art sound system to bring every event to life.

After a long day of work, meetings, or sightseeing, travellers can take an invigorating dip in the unique glass-sided rooftop pool or work out in the well-equipped fitness centre, both of which are perched on the 16^th floor. For deeply soothing therapies, the fourth floor Song Spa promises world-class wellness based on time-honoured Vietnamese techniques.
