In the tranquil embrace of Châu Long Street, a quiet lane nestled beside the dreamy West Lake, where time seems to slow its hurried pace, lies Tonkin Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. As you step through its doors, you're gently ushered into a realm of nostalgic hues, where the echoes of a bygone era - the French colonial period (1887–1945), when Northern Vietnam was known as Tonkin - are lovingly and thoughtfully brought to life.

 

 

The Tonkin Cultural Essence - An Indochinese Rhapsody

 

Tonkin – a name that evokes the historical French Protectorate of Tonkin (1887-1945) and echoes "Đông Kinh," the ancient name of Hanoi. This name holds a treasure trove of culture, delicately woven into every detail of our hotel:

 

- Refined Architecture: The flowing curves of French architecture blend seamlessly with the gentle charm of traditional Vietnamese homes. Arched windows, gracefully wrought iron balconies, and meticulously carved motifs create an enchanting Indochinese architectural harmony.

- Authentic Vietnamese Materials: Polished limewood glowing under warm lights, handcrafted Bat Trang tiles imbued with the patina of time, and cool natural stone beneath your feet – each material tells a story of the ancient Northern lands.

- The Spirit of Vietnam in Every Detail: Gilded lacquer paintings radiating splendor, intricately carved wooden chests, and dignified ancestral tablets – each element offers a glimpse into a cherished Hanoi of yesteryears, vividly brought to life.
