Assistant Executive Housekeeper

Fairmont Hanoi officially opened its doors in March 2026, marking the debut of the Fairmont brand in Vietnam. The 241-room luxury hotel is inspired by the artistry of traditional lacquer, the rich hues of Vietnamese heritage, and the timeless elegance of Indochinese design from the French colonial era, thoughtfully infused with motifs from Vietnam’s dynasties.

Positioned as an urban resort, the hotel offers a distinctive and elevated guest experience, featuring eight dining and bar venues, including a rooftop terrace, as well as both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a dedicated wellness floor with a spa and bathhouse.

For corporate and social events, Fairmont Hanoi features three ballrooms—anchored by a 1,100-square-metre grand ballroom - alongside nine versatile meeting rooms, making it a premier destination for meetings, conferences, and celebrations.

Fairmont Hanoi is poised to become Hanoi’s leading social destination.
