History

On 11 June 2008, an agreement was signed between the building owner and the InterContinental Hotels Group to operate the 359-room hotel under InterContinental Hanoi Landmark 72 with 9 hotel floors from the 62nd floor to 70th floor (Hotel Club Lounge located on the 71st Floor).

In November 2010, the main tower reached approximately 300 metres, making it the tallest building and structure in Vietnam. On 24 January 2011, the main tower topped out at 350 metres; it beat the Bitexco Financial Tower, which was opened four months before, to become the tallest building in Vietnam while the residential twin towers had topped out months before with the height of 212 metres with 48 floor counted. The complex opened on 18 May 2012. The building held the status of the tallest building in Vietnam until Landmark 81 was completed in 2018.A Vietnamese court valued the complex at 770 million in May 2015 and AON Holdings from South Korea would take over the bank loan by paying 373.4 million to become the majority owner. In early 2017, it emerged that a bribery scheme related to a proposed sale of Landmark 72 building complex in 2014 led to the arrest and charge of former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's nephew and charge of Ban's brother, Ban Ki-sang, an executive of South Korean firm Keangnam Enterprises Co Ltd. In 2013, Keangnam was facing a liquidity crisis and intended to refinance or sell the complex. When the deal eventually fell through, Keangnam entered into court receivership in South Korea. Also, Malcolm Albert Harris, a self proclaimed New York City fashion designer who pled guilty to stealing US$500,000 as part of a phony negotiation to sell Landmark 72 to a Qatari royal.
