Art At The Apricot Hotel, Hanoi, Vietnam

This is a beautiful hotel, but the really striking thing about it is the art. It is everywhere, and it is strikingly beautiful. The hotel reception desk sports a large painting by Bui Huu Hung, who has several other works hung throughout the ground floor and other public areas. There are numerous bronze statues of various sizes, from life sized down to bust that adorn furniture in the halls, this one by Nguyen Thanh Le. The story begins from the reputable Apricot Gallery, located in a central street of the Old Quarter, whose owner is a well-known art collector in Vietnam. The long-stand Apricot Gallery was famous for its huge collection of artworks from Vietnam leading artists, as well as for its successful exhibitions. Later, the Gallery’s owner used his passion for Vietnamese art, culture, and heritage to build Apricot Hotel, with the vision to share his love with international travelers, visitors, and residents.

In 2015, Apricot Hotel was the first living art gallery that came to life in the form of a luxury hotel in Hanoi. Celebrating the country’s finest artists and honoring local art and heritage, the hotel takes pride in cultivating a truly local identity. Apricot Hotel is the only hotel in Hanoi that introduces refined Vietnamese touches and authentic experiences to its guests.
