Hidden down a quiet Old Quarter alley, Maison D’Orient captures the essence of French colonial Hanoi without trying too hard. This intimate 10-room property feels more like a stylish friend’s home than a hotel, with its black and white mosaic tiles, vintage propaganda posters, and an inviting open-air terrace where breakfast is served among potted plants and wooden furniture.
Each room takes its name from a Vietnamese spice – Cinnamon, Star Anise, Ginger – and has its own distinct personality. While cosy in size, the spaces are thoughtfully designed with bamboo details, bright cushions, and local artwork that perfectly balance Eastern and Western influences. It’s these little touches, along with genuinely helpful staff that make Maison D’Orient such a find. Don’t miss the charming lobby library, perfect for planning your next day’s adventures over Vietnamese coffee.
