Newly-opened Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi effortlessly fuses royal heritage with contemporary elegance, and Thai graciousness with Vietnamese soul.
Opened this May, Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi counts amongst a clutch of the latest and finest additions to Hanoi’s hospitality scene this year. Located along the placid banks of West Lake in the city’s historic Tay Ho district, the newly-unveiled hotel marks Dusit Hotels & Resorts’ first foray into Hanoi — and only its second property in Vietnam, after Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort Phu Quoc which also debuted this month.
It is no tentative step. Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa arrives with quiet confidence and a thoughtful design, a 207-key lakeside sanctuary masquerading as a contemporary palace built on the legacy of one of Hanoi’s most intriguing royal figures, Princess Từ Hoa.
Princess Từ Hoa, daughter of Emperor Lý Thần Tông of the Lý Dynasty who reigned in during the 12th century, is remembered not for gilded palace living, but for leaving court for a more mundane life to cultivate mulberry trees and teach silk weaving to villagers in what is now the Nghi Tàm neighbourhood.
In her honour, Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi carries an aesthetic language steeped in craft, community, and culture. From the soft palette of natural materials to the detailed Vietnamese motifs subtly embedded into room furnishings, the hotel’s design threads past into present with elegance rooted in traditional Annamese sensibility. Interiors blend clean contemporary lines with classic Vietnamese detailing, while panoramic views of West Lake or Hanoi’s city skyline create an immediate sense of place.
Guests looking to wine and dine will be spoilt for choice. Soi Restaurant is a celebration of punchy, authentic Thai cuisine, while soon-to-open Vinci Italian Restaurant and Rooftop Bar is where you can spend an Italian-style aperitivo hour with a lakeside sunset. For something quintessentially local, Phở Lụa offers a breezy, al fresco homage to Vietnam’s most famous noodle dish. Dusit Gourmet, meanwhile, offers everything from afternoon tea to house-made pastries, ideal for both business meetings and leisurely starts.
Beyond guest rooms and gastronomy, the new Dusit hotel is set to be a city retreat — it comes complete with a well-equipped gym, space for yoga and tai chi, and provides in-room massage services.
Three elegant ballrooms, plus a rooftop event space with uninterrupted lake views, makes Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi an option for weddings, corporate activities, or a high-society social soirée.
Set on Au Co Street — a breezy 20-minute drive from Noi Bai International Airport — the hotel is ideally positioned for both local exploration and international arrivals. Guests are also within easy reach of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the temples and pagodas that frame the city’s poetic landscape.
In a city where history hums through tree-lined boulevards and lakeside temples, Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi combines quiet luxury, reverence for local culture and its royal past, as well as Dusit’s signature Thai hospitality, for an excellent addition to the city’s burgeoning hospitality scene.
