Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi, the first Dusit Hotels property in Vietnam’s capital, is set to become an exciting new destination. Located in the Tay Ho district on the calm shores of West Lake, the hotel combines Vietnamese heritage with Dusit’s signature style, offering guests an experience that works equally well for a quiet retreat or a social get-together.
The Charm of Princess Tu Hoa
What makes Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi stand out? You notice it as soon as you arrive. The design, inspired by Princess Tu Hoa – remembered for her role in developing the silk industry around Nghi Tam near West Lake – gives the hotel a sense of history while keeping a modern touch.
The central atrium is covered by a glass dome that lets in plenty of natural light. A glass elevator shaped like a silkworm cocoon is a nod to the area’s silk-making heritage. Some may also see it as three lanterns rising into the sky.
