Artemis Shopping Center in Hanoi, Vietnam

Artemis Shopping Center occupies the retail and service podium of The Artemis at 3 Lê Trọng Tấn in Hanoi’s Thanh Xuân area. It is not a stand-alone mega-mall in the style of the city’s largest suburban complexes; instead, it works as part of a mixed-use high-rise where shopping, cinema, food, fitness and everyday services sit below offices and residences. That makes Artemis most useful for visitors already in southern-central Hanoi, especially people combining errands, a meal or a film rather than planning a full day around shopping alone. Current 2026 leasing information confirms that the building remains active and continues to market commercial space, so the retail component is still part of the complex rather than a legacy name attached to a closed property.

The Artemis building has a prominent position around Lê Trọng Tấn, Trường Chinh and Tôn Thất Tùng, giving the complex several street frontages and making it easy to identify from the surrounding road network. Current property information describes three basement levels and a substantial office-and-retail section on the lower floors. The basement parking levels are a practical advantage for local visitors arriving by motorbike or car, while the retail floors concentrate the activities most relevant to short-stay visitors. The address should be entered as 3 Lê Trọng Tấn, because online references to nearby streets or the wider residential tower can otherwise lead to slightly different map pins.

The shopping mix is best understood as convenience and leisure rather than luxury retail. Current building material names a supermarket in the basement, a cinema in the complex and additional food, wellness and service tenants. CGV is one of the better-known reasons to visit, especially in the evening or on weekends, while the supermarket makes the center useful for groceries and daily necessities. The combination also means that opening times can vary by tenant. A cinema, restaurant or fitness club may operate on a different timetable from ordinary retail units, so travelers should not assume that every floor follows exactly the same schedule.

For a first-time visitor, the simplest plan is to treat Artemis as a compact indoor stop. Allow about one to two hours for browsing, food and practical shopping, or longer if you are adding a movie or a fitness appointment. There is no general admission fee to enter the retail areas; spending depends on the individual businesses you use. Because the building is mixed-use, some upper areas are offices or residential spaces rather than public shopping floors, so following the signs for the commercial podium is more useful than trying to explore the entire tower.

The current tenant picture can change faster than the building itself. The Artemis management board was still advertising retail and office space in 2026, which is useful evidence that the property remains operational but also indicates that individual units may come and go. Visitors looking for one specific restaurant, shop or service should verify that tenant directly before making a special trip. This matters more here than at a destination mall with a large continuously updated public store directory. For a casual visit, the supermarket, cinema and food options provide enough structure even when smaller tenants change.

Hours are another area where source quality matters. Current local business listings commonly show Artemis Shopping Center operating from about 09:00 to 22:00 daily, while older directories sometimes publish an earlier morning opening. The safest practical approach is to use 09:00–22:00 as the current general shopping-center window and check individual tenants when timing is important. The residential and office building itself has 24-hour security, but that does not mean the retail floors or every business are open around the clock.

The complex is modern and vertical, with lifts and managed common areas documented in current property information. Even so, the checked sources do not provide a complete visitor accessibility guide covering step-free entrances, accessible toilets, wheelchair routes or assistance policies across all commercial floors. Travelers with specific mobility requirements should contact the center or the business they intend to visit rather than assuming every route is identical. Families with strollers should likewise expect lifts to be more practical than moving between floors only by stairs.

Artemis is most rewarding when expectations match its role in the neighborhood. It is a useful urban commercial complex where local shopping, entertainment and services are integrated into a large mixed-use tower. It is not the place to choose if your main goal is a huge international-fashion circuit or a full-day mall experience; Hanoi has larger complexes for that. But if you are near Thanh Xuân and want groceries, a cinema, a meal or an indoor break in one address, Artemis remains a practical option. The key is to use the current address, allow for tenant-specific hours and treat the center as part of a living mixed-use building rather than a self-contained tourist attraction.
