About Bach Dang 1+2
The Bach Dang 1+2 Event Space
Bach Dang 1+2 is the combined meeting and event hall at The Lapis Hotel, situated on Phan Chu Trinh street in Hoàn Kiếm — Hanoi's historic Old Quarter district and one of the city's most recognisable cultural and commercial addresses. The space is formed by merging the adjacent Bach Dang 1 and Bach Dang 2 rooms into a single, larger venue, giving event organisers the flexibility to run one expansive gathering or, when partitioned, two simultaneous breakout sessions. The name itself draws from the storied Bach Dang River, lending the hall a sense of place that feels rooted in Vietnamese heritage rather than generic hotel convention.
The interior carries the refined aesthetic that defines The Lapis Hotel throughout — thoughtful lighting, neutral tones, and finishes that photograph well without overpowering a planner's own décor choices. The combined configuration is well suited to corporate events including conferences, seminars, product launches, and board meetings, as well as social occasions such as engagement celebrations, cocktail receptions, and private dinners. The ability to separate the hall into two independent rooms makes it equally practical for workshops that require a plenary space and a breakout room running concurrently.
Events & Occasions
Bach Dang 1+2 draws a clientele that spans multinational corporations with regional offices in Hanoi, government and diplomatic organisations attracted by the Hoàn Kiếm address, and couples and families seeking a city-centre venue for milestone celebrations. The hotel's events team supports room setup in multiple configurations — theatre, classroom, U-shape, banquet, and cocktail among them — so the same space can transition from a morning conference to an evening reception within the same booking period. In-house catering options allow organisers to plan coffee breaks, set lunches, cocktail canapes, and multi-course dinners without coordinating an external kitchen, streamlining the overall event logistics.
The hotel's professional support staff are on hand throughout an event to manage audiovisual requirements, coordinate service timings, and troubleshoot any last-minute changes. Built-in AV infrastructure — including projection and sound systems — reduces the equipment a planner needs to source independently, which is a practical advantage for groups arriving in Hanoi from other cities or countries.
Location & Accessibility
Phan Chu Trinh sits at the southern edge of Hoàn Kiếm Lake, placing Bach Dang 1+2 within easy walking distance of landmarks including Hoan Kiem Lake itself, Ngoc Son Temple, and the historic Hàng Gai silk street. Noi Bai International Airport is approximately 35 kilometres from the Old Quarter, with road transfers typically taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. The surrounding neighbourhood is dense with four- and five-star hotels, international restaurants, and embassies, making it straightforward for delegates or guests travelling from different parts of the city to orient themselves and reach the venue. The Lapis Hotel's own guest rooms mean that event attendees requiring overnight accommodation can stay on-site, removing the need to coordinate transport between a host hotel and a separate event venue.
