Restaurant Manager - Hiryu Restaurant

Fairmont Hanoi opened in March 2026, marking the debut of the Fairmont brand in Vietnam. The 241-room luxury hotel blends traditional lacquer artistry, Vietnamese heritage, and Indochinese elegance, creating a refined urban resort experience.

The hotel features eight dining and bar venues, a rooftop terrace, indoor and outdoor pools, a modern fitness centre, and a dedicated wellness floor with spa and bathhouse. With three ballrooms - including a 1,100 sqm grand ballroom, and nine meeting rooms, it is set to become Hanoi’s premier destination for events and social gatherings.

Nestled within the hotel, Hiryu offers a refined yet relaxed Japanese dining experience inspired by brushwork and the spirit of the dragon. Blending tradition with modern creativity, it takes guests on a sensory journey through sushi, teppanyaki, artisanal sake, and locally inspired flavours.
