Operator & Design
This spiritual retreat is operated by AccorHotels within the renowned MGallery range. It was designed by Bill Bensley, a globally recognized architect whose work hinges on the architecture of the place.
Cultural & Spiritual Concept
Legacy Yen Tu Hotel isn’t just a place to sleep, but a spiritual and cultural sanctum. The architecture has strong roots in the 13th-century Tran Dynasty and captures the spirit of Truc Lam Zen Buddhism, which was born here in Yen Tu Mountain. It’s all peace, silence, and mindfulness, from the locally made bricks to the wooden beams and traditional courtyards.
A Boutique Retreat with Heritage Soul
As part of MGallery Legacy Yen Tu, it blends history, healing, and luxury. Guests may meditate, participate in wellness rituals, or just soak in the tranquil environment. It’s an attraction that finds a place in travel itineraries of well-crafted Hanoi Tours for its special ambiance and cultural esteem.
