Christmas 2025 marks a moment when Peridot Grand Luxury Boutique Hotel opens a gateway through time, inviting guests to return to the Hanoi of the 1920s—a golden era where the elegance of Art Deco blossomed in Paris and began to intertwine with the poetic charm of Indochine in Hanoi and Saigon. It was a period defined by cultural dialogue, artistic refinement, and a distinctive sense of modernity shaped by tradition.
Peridot reimagines this era through “Maison de Peridot – an Indochinese House of the 1920s,” a gathering place for the French–Vietnamese elite during glamorous Christmas soirées. Warm golden lights illuminate the geometric symmetry of Art Deco architecture, softened by indigenous materials such as wood, stone, and delicately curved metal. Every detail becomes a quiet echo of the past, telling stories of refinement, celebration, and timeless beauty.
During the 1920s and 1930s, the area surrounding Đường Thành and Hanoi’s Old Quarter stood as a remarkable cultural crossroads. Located near the ancient walls of the Thăng Long Imperial Citadel, the neighborhood carried deep historical layers. Vietnamese, Chinese, and French communities lived side by side, shaping a richly textured urban life. Indochinese townhouses emerged—wooden frames, shuttered windows catching the breeze, wrought-iron balconies, and subtle Art Deco motifs blending effortlessly into the streetscape.
Here, local traditions thrived alongside Western influences. Bustling markets, family-run shops, and handcrafted goods coexisted with cafés, fresh bread, tailored fashion, and the rhythm of jazz drifting through evening gatherings. Hanoi of that era was both nostalgic and progressive—an old soul awakening to modern elegance.
Christmas at Peridot Grand in 2025 is more than a festive celebration. It is a cultural journey, an invitation to slow down and immerse oneself in the spirit of a bygone Hanoi. Within this space, Art Deco is not merely a style but a language of sophistication, while Indochine becomes the soul—gentle, layered, and deeply rooted.
Each Christmas moment at Peridot feels like a cinematic pause in time, evoking a gilded memory when beauty was intentional, craftsmanship was revered, and celebrations were expressions of grace and connection. It is a return to an era when Christmas was not only a holiday, but a reflection of cultural harmony and refined living.
At Peridot Grand Luxury Boutique Hotel, Christmas is not simply the most beautiful season of 2025—it is the revival of a luminous chapter in Hanoi’s 1920s, brought back to life with elegance, emotion, and timeless allure.
