Trang Tien Plaza

Shopping Centre in Hanoi

Trang Tien Plaza is a prominent shopping center located in the Hoan Kiem district of Hanoi. Situated on the former site of the Hanoi General Department Store, near the Hanoi Post Office, it offers a scenic view of Hoan Kiem Lake. Not only is Trang Tien Plaza one of the city’s largest and most upscale malls, but it is also a significant landmark. The building features sophisticated French architectural design, reflecting the refined culture of Vietnam’s capital. It spans over 215,000 square feet, housing offices, retail stores, and various dining and café options.

This esteemed shopping destination has its roots in 1953 when the French government sold the property, then known as Maison Godard, to international businesses, renaming it Grands Magasins Reunis. In 1959, it was renamed again to the General Department Store of Hanoi City, offering textiles, clothes, bicycles, and parts. In 1993, the Vietnamese government acquired it, but the state-run business closed on September 29, 1995.

Construction of the new complex began on April 30, 2000, marking the 25th anniversary of South Vietnam’s liberation. Completed in 18 months by another state enterprise, this led to the opening of the modern Trang Tien Plaza. It now offers a wide range of products, from everyday items to luxury goods. By 2005, substantial investments from IMEX PAN Pacific Group transformed it into the nation’s premier luxury shopping destination.

Today, Trang Tien Plaza hosts over 200 global brands, including Rolex, Burberry, and Zegna. The first floor features top-tier brands like Louis Vuitton and Cartier, while the second floor showcases labels such as Versace and Dior. The third floor is dedicated to jewelry and beauty products, the fourth floor focuses on men’s and women’s fashion and accessories, and the fifth floor includes a cinema and restaurant. The sixth floor is devoted to home goods and children’s products.
