Trang Tien Plaza, Hanoi

Trang Tien Plaza is a major shopping centre located in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem district. More than simply one of the city’s largest and most upscale malls, it is also a prominent local landmark. The building, with its sophisticated French-inspired architectural design, reflects the elegant character of Vietnam’s capital. It offers more than 215,000 square feet of space, accommodating offices, retail stores and a variety of dining and café options.

The origins of this prestigious shopping destination date back to 1901, when Godard House was built by French investors and quickly became an important commercial landmark in colonial Hanoi. In 1953, the property was sold to international businesses and renamed United Department Stores. By 1959, it had been renamed the General Department Store of Hanoi City, selling goods such as textiles, clothing, bicycles and bicycle parts.

Construction of the new complex began on April 30, 2000, marking the 25th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The project led to the opening of the modern Trang Tien Plaza, offering everything from everyday products to luxury goods.

Today, Trang Tien Plaza hosts more than 200 international brands, including Rolex, Burberry and Zegna. The first floor is home to luxury names such as Louis Vuitton and Cartier, while the second features brands including Versace and Dior. The third floor focuses on jewellery and beauty products, while the fourth is dedicated to fashion and accessories. The upper floors offer additional attractions, including dining and entertainment options, as well as products for the home and children.
