HCO Building (Hanoi Central Office Building) – also known as Melia Hanoi Tower or Melia Tower – is a mixed-use Grade A office, 5-star hotel, and serviced apartment complex located at 44B Ly Thuong Kiet, Cua Nam Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. The building was developed by SAS-CTAMAD Co., Ltd. – a joint venture between Hanoi Electromechanical Manufacturing JSC (HEM) and SAS Trading (a member of TCC Group Thailand) – completed in 1998. The complex operates under the Melia brand.
HCO Building’s most defining distinction from other Grade A buildings along the Ly Thuong Kiet corridor is its direct connection to the 5-star Melia Hanoi hotel – meeting rooms and event halls with a combined capacity of up to 1,200 guests, a restaurant, gym, and swimming pool, all within the same complex. The building is designed in a European architectural style with a spacious reception lobby and open landscaped grounds.
Located on the Ly Thuong Kiet corridor – adjacent to the Ly Thuong Kiet – Quang Trung intersection – HCO Building is 200 m from Hoan Kiem Lake and approximately 2 km from major government ministries including the Ministry of Finance and the Hanoi People’s Committee. The surrounding area is densely concentrated with major banks (ACB, Techcombank, VietinBank), Grade A office buildings (Techcombank Tower, Hanoi Tower, BIDV Tower), and numerous international diplomatic missions.
