Oakwood today announced the official opening of Oakwood Residence Hanoi, marking the brand’s entry into Vietnam’s capital city.
A prime address for both business and leisure travelers alike, Oakwood Residence Hanoi is situated in an upscale residential neighbourhood within the West Lake (Tay Ho) District, offering a sanctuary away from the city’s bustle. Aside from historic sites and the plethora of stylish dining establishments and watering holes by the scenic lake, the district’s charm also makes it popular amongst executives on short-term assignments. A car ride away, guests can also easily access Ba Dinh District (the French Quarter) – home to government offices, embassies as well as some of the city’s best co-working spaces; and Hoan Kiem District (the Old Quarter) – Hanoi’s central business district and main tourist area. Relocating families will also delight in their proximity to Ciputra International City where a number of international schools are located.
“Oakwood Residence Hanoi is testament of our commitment to grow Oakwood’s presence in the country. Two years in the works, the team at Oakwood has been gearing up to this day – when we officially introduce Oakwood to the capital,” shared Dean Schreiber, interim chief executive officer of Oakwood and managing director of Oakwood Asia Pacific. Oakwood Residence Hanoi will be the brand’s third serviced residence in the country following the debut of Oakwood Apartments Ho Chi Minh City in December 2016 in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 3 and subsequent launch of Mapletree-owned Oakwood Residence Saigon in District 7 in April 2018.
Offering home comforts with conveniences of a hotel, guests can select from 262 elegantly appointed and fully furnished studio, one-, two-, three-bedroom apartments and penthouses. Each unit comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, high-speed Internet and hotel amenities. Guests can also expect an extensive suite of services including round-the-clock guest relations and security, housekeeping services, laundry and dry cleaning services, shuttle bus services as well as activity programmes to assist guests to assimilate into their new environment and community. The ideal residence for families seeking short to long stays, Oakwood Residence Hanoi also offers a wide range of facilities catering to multi-generations including a residents’ lounge, restaurant and bar, fitness centre, children’s play area as well as the city’s very first all-season infinity pool fitted with a retractable glass roof.
“Oakwood Residence Hanoi is designed for those who value a residence that speaks to the heart, offering guests a sense of belonging in the bustling city,’’ shares Humayoon Shaikhzadeh, general manager of Oakwood Residence Hanoi. “Heartfelt service is at the centre of what we do, and we aim to make a difference for our guests when they stay with us.”
