Capella Hanoi

This capital city hotel may as well be the lovechild of Liberace and Pavarotti. Glitz, glam and opera personify every space of this Bill Bensley-designed escape. Hand-painted murals, towering statues of naked men, tasselled lamps, OTT patterns and an all-mirrored pool leave the eyes doing double takes. But this whimsical 47-key hotel is the city’s most luxurious, with Michelin-star Japanese in the basement and a killer Old Fashioned at its The Hudson Rooms rooftop bar.
