TTG Asia's weekly roundup of new hotel openings and announcements.
Capella Hanoi, Vietnam
Capella Hanoi has opened its doors in the heart of Vietnam’s vibrant capital city. Nestled in the Old Quarter, just steps from the iconic Hanoi Opera House, the Bill Bensley-designed hotel features 47 themed rooms and suites, ranging from 35m2 to 194m2. Crowning the hotel, four Opera Suites open out onto alfresco terraces overlooking the tree-lined avenues below. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Backstage, offers vegan dishes and northern Vietnamese-inspired specialties. Diva’s Lounge, meanwhile, serves up bohemian cocktails and Opera Punches, accompanied by Diva’s Bar bites. Guests can unwind at Auriga Spa featuring couples’ treatment suites, saunas, steam baths, a fitness centre and La Grotta, an indoor pool that resembles a haven for opera singers to rest their voices.
Quincy Hotel Melbourne, Australia
TFE Hotels has unveiled Australia’s inaugural Quincy-branded property, with the opening of Quincy Hotel Melbourne on Flinders Lane. The 241-room property – complete with lively laneways and rooftop bars – boasts spatial design, playful interiors, tactile artwork, and a focus on ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ foodie adventures. Think hawker-inspired grazing at SingSong eatery, flowing through the Lobby to outdoor laneway dining; rooftop bites and cocktails at The Q on Level 28 (shared by a lap pool); and Salted Egg, a satellite restaurant, complete with a bespoke bar and communal areas.
