Capella Hanoi Hotel debuts in the heart of Hanoi’s arts district<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Penthouse<\/span><\/em><\/a>, a K-drama that tells the stories of a group of Korean elites, has been all the rage with Vietnamese TV buffs for the past few months. While the actors’ dazzling clothes that vary every episode are enough to glue us to our seats, the luxury of their residence, Hera Palace, has also intrigued viewers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re in love with the sweeping extravagance of Hera Palace and dreaming of stepping into a real one, look no further than <\/span>Capella Hanoi Hotel<\/b>. Aside from the striking interior designs and furniture that look straight out of a French period drama, this newly opened hotel<\/a> also has a winged lady statue on its roof that reminds us of the iconic structure in Hera Palace. Here’s a quick look at what a night’s stay will entail, if you can afford it, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Penthouse\u00a0<\/em>fans can spot the similarities<\/h3>\n
\n

Looking at the luxurious rooms, we can spot several similarities between the decor of Capella Hanoi and the fictional Hera Palace. <\/span><\/p>\n

Boasting upholstered platform beds, spacious windows, hanging pendants, and crystal chandeliers that set the glamorous tone, both Capella and Hera Palace scream mid-century modern dec\u00f3r.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can check out plenty of restaurants and eateries nearby, or dine at the <\/span>Backstage <\/b>restaurant downstairs, where you’ll find lavish decor and plush furnishings alongside a good selection of northern Vietnamese cuisine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jazz your evening up at Diva\u2019s Lounge<\/strong>, an in-house bar decorated in an homage to 1920\u2019s hedonistic Jazz Age<\/a> style via dramatic swaths of velvet curtains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Capella

This is where you can clink glasses of superior wine, savour gourmet pastries, and treat yourself to a good range of cocktails – just like Jay Gatsby. The bar has a terrace with 4 tables facing Ly Thai To Street, where you can kick back and enjoy your drink over the stunning views of the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you think you\u2019ve seen these two venues somewhere, you must have watched the episodes that showed Cheon Seo-jin\u2019s living room in Hera Palace. Her living room, Backstage, and Diva\u2019s Lounge are all steeped in black and red, which represent authority and wealth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since opera is the theme of Capella Hanoi Hotel, its bar and the restaurant are all adorned with portraits of famous opera artists. Had Cheon Seo-jin been a real-life opera singer, another portrait of her would have been placed here aside from the one in her own apartment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re wondering who the brains behind the hotel’s aesthetic is, Bill Bensley is the name to remember. He’s a celebrated global architect who designed the highly acclaimed<\/span> Capella Ubud Hotel<\/span> in Bali and<\/span> Shinta Mani Resort<\/span> in Cambodia. <\/span><\/p>\n

Closer to home, he also designed <\/span>InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort<\/span> and several other top-rated resorts in Vietnam.<\/span><\/p>\n
