Some say that in Vietnam, you don’t just visit—you relish. The simple truth is that flavour is a way of life in Vietnam. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the vibrant energy of Ho Chi Minh City, the culinary scene is a feast for the senses, offering everything from sizzling street food to refined dining experiences in luxurious settings.
Here are 3 standout hotels in Vietnam from the MICHELIN Guide where you can enjoy top-notch rooms and feast on MICHELIN-recognised meals without ever leaving the building.

The Park Hyatt Saigon, though modern, feels like a historic landmark in Ho Chi Minh City, seamlessly blending its colonial-style facade into Lam Son Square. This top hotel delivers subtly stylish interiors, first-rate amenities, and nods to French-era Saigon, with period décor and black-and-white photos adorning the walls. Recent refurbishments include a luxurious spa, an outdoor pool within landscaped gardens, and two standout restaurants.
One of these is Square One, listed in the MICHELIN Guide Vietnam 2024, where Chef Arnaud Schuttrumpf, with experience across Europe, offers a unique dining experience, effortlessly blending Vietnamese and French recipes.

Style: Traditional EleganceAtmosphere: Lively
If you're seeking a stay that epitomises grandeur and timeless elegance, look no further than Hanoi’s very own La Grande Dame, where colonial grace still reigns supreme. Not every hotel can claim the title "legend," but the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is a rare exception. This iconic hotel, with its 1901 vintage facade, seamlessly blends historical charm with modern comforts. The Heritage Wing offers a glimpse into the past, while the Opera Wing features contemporary-classic interiors.
Dining is exceptional at the 2024 MICHELIN-selected Le Beaulieu, which has been operating since 1901. Its refurbished interior retains French charm with blue velvet banquettes and crystal chandeliers. Century-old classics like lobster bisque and house-cured kingfish are served with gueridon service, led by talented chef Charles Degrendele, while subtle Vietnamese notes enhance the tasting menu.

Come for the food, stay for the grand opera vibe – anyone? (© Capella Hanoi)
Capella Hanoi
Style: Modern DesignAtmosphere: Lively
It's remarkable how much care has gone into Capella Hanoi, a boutique hotel with just 47 rooms. Designed by Bill Bensley, it pays homage to the nearby opera house and its former lodgers. The extensive renovation has created a hotel that is both unique and luxurious, with opera-themed touches throughout the rooms, Backstage restaurant, and Diva’s Lounge bar.
And if you feel hungry, don’t fret. There are three MICHELIN-recognised restaurants in the 2024 guide within the hotel for you to explore. From the one MICHELIN Star Hibana by Koki, led by Chef Hiroshi Yamaguchi, where guests can enjoy a theatrical experience at a 14-seat counter in the basement, featuring teppanyaki dishes rich in complex flavours, especially the Yaeyama Kyori beef and Hokkaido hairy crab, to Izakaya by Koki (MICHELIN-listed), with its modern setting, intimate sofas, complimentary sake, grilled black cod with Saikyo sauce, and signature ice cream. For a local flair, Backstage restaurant (MICHELIN-listed) offers Vietnamese flavours in an opera-themed setting that you shouldn’t miss.
