◆ LÈGACY Hanoi, in the Ngoc Ha district
85 hotel rooms, 133 apartments
The tower does not operate like a traditional hotel. The 133 serviced apartments occupy floors 9 to 13 and 19 to 21, while the 85 hotel rooms span floors 14 to 18. Eight typologies coexist, ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, measuring between 37 and 105 square metres.
On the hotel side, the breakdown comprises four categories: twenty Original Rooms, forty-five Deluxe Suites, five Premium Deluxe Suites and fifteen Executive Suites. Each features a private balcony behind floor-to-ceiling windows and, more unusually, a vintage record player accompanied by a curated selection of vinyl records. The apartments adopt a different palette of warm wood, indigo blue and terracotta.
A Vietnamese onsen at YÊN spa
The spa takes its name from the Vietnamese word “yên”, meaning peace. Beyond therapies and treatments, it houses an onsen · complete with hot and cold pools, a sauna, a steam room and a relaxation lounge. The concept is Japanese, the execution Vietnamese, and it remains a rare offering in the region’s urban hospitality scene.
The 24th floor and its terrace
Two addresses share the summit. MỘC LOFT, on the twenty-fourth floor, serves a contemporary interpretation of Northern Vietnamese cuisine throughout the day, set against panoramic city views. Above, 24 Social and Terrace is the open-air rooftop bar designed for the late afternoon.
Upon arrival, the lobby is dominated by a monumental interpretation of the Chim Hac, the crane of Vietnamese mythology, suspended above reception. The property serves a complimentary welcome refreshment here, named Sparkling Moments.

Design inspirations from Hanoi
The references are explicit and local: the O Quan Chuong gate, the last remaining vestige of the Old Quarter ramparts, the Red River, and the five-petalled peach blossom, the emblem of Tet in the north of the country. The hotel aspires to be a gallery rather than a backdrop, featuring abstract motifs throughout its public areas.
“Our ambition was to create a destination that feels genuinely connected to Hanoi,” explains Christopher Hur, managing director of Fusion Hotel Group, who speaks of an address that respects “the character and heritage of the city.” Hotel manager Ngo Anh Doan adds a sentiment that sums up the project: “Creativity does not erase tradition; it brings it back to life.”
Our perspective
The concept is more worthy of attention than the décor. A building where serviced apartments outnumber hotel rooms by one and a half times is not quite a hotel · it is a mixed-use asset catering equally to long-stay guests, expats and transient travellers. This model is spreading across Southeast Asia, changing the way a property fills its rooms.
For the traveller, the tangible benefit is clear: at 210 dollars a night, you gain access to a brand-new five-star hotel with an onsen and views of West Lake, in a city where this level of luxury remains rare. It remains to be seen whether hotel service holds up when two-thirds of the building live to the rhythm of residents.
