Capella Hanoi is among Vietnam’s first two hotels awarded Three Michelin Keys 2025. |
Notably, Capella Hanoi earned the prestigious Three Michelin Keys — the highest accolade recognizing hotels that deliver an outstanding stay experience.
At the official launch of the Michelin Key Global Hotel Rating System on October 8, the Michelin Guide unveiled its 2025 selection, marking a historic milestone.
For the first time in over a century of defining culinary excellence through the Michelin Stars, the Michelin brand has expanded its legacy into the world of hospitality.
After months of rigorous anonymous evaluations, Vietnam made a remarkable debut in the ranking, with 13 hotels and resorts honoured, including two with Three Michelin Keys, three with Two Keys, and eight with One Key.
Among the distinguished winners, Capella Hanoi (Hanoi) by Sun Group stands out as one of only two Vietnamese hotels to achieve the Three Michelin Keys distinction — the pinnacle of excellence, reserved for properties that deliver a “trip of a lifetime.”
Meanwhile, Hotel de la Coupole – MGallery (Sa Pa, Lao Cai) was awarded One Michelin Key for its uniquely artful stay experience in the misty mountain town of Sa Pa.
These two exceptional representatives reflect Vietnam’s dual charm in luxury hospitality — the refined, sophisticated allure of Hanoi and the romantic, highland artistry of Sa Pa.
Michelin described this as a “remarkable debut” for Vietnam on the world’s luxury tourism map, underscoring the nation’s rising stature in the global high-end hospitality arena.
Launched with the mission to expand Michelin’s rating standards from gastronomy to hospitality, the Michelin Key is considered “the Michelin Star for hotels,” establishing a new global benchmark for the art of hospitality and the stay experience.
The Michelin Guide has curated a selection of over 7,000 hotels across more than 125 countries. Hotels in the selection are evaluated according to five universal criteria.
The criteria emphasise the holistic experience rather than facilities alone, setting a new international standard for high-quality hospitality.
Michelin praised Capella Hanoi as “a hotel that captures the spirit of opera through exquisite design, immersing guests in the cultural rhythm of the city.”
Located just a five-minute walk from the iconic Hanoi Grand Opera House and the Old Quarter, the hotel designed by world-renowned architect Bill Bensley is a masterpiece inspired by the golden age of opera, where each suite tells a unique story of Hanoi’s 1920s artistic era.
