Ba Dinh
The Carlos Zapata-designed JW Marriott is Hanoi's most architecturally dramatic modern hotel — its flowing 'Wave of Time' facade near the National Convention Centre in Ba Dinh houses 450 rooms, five restaurants, and what many consider the finest spa in the Vietnamese capital.
West Lake
Pan Pacific Hanoi occupies an iconic lakeside position on West Lake with panoramic water views from its upper floors — the breakfast with floating pagoda views is one of Hanoi's most beautiful hotel moments, and the well-equipped spa and pool deck make it a complete resort-city hybrid.
Hoan Kiem
Silk Path Grand occupies a prime Hoan Kiem location steps from the lake with an impressive rooftop pool, well-designed rooms that reference Vietnamese silk craft traditions, and a spa offering genuine traditional Vietnamese treatments at rates well below the international flagships.
Hoan Kiem
Hotel de l'Opera — facing the Hanoi Opera House — is the city's most elegant MGallery property: Art Deco interiors, a rooftop pool with Opera House views, and the excellent Brasserie de l'Opera restaurant make it one of Hanoi's most complete experiences at a price below the Metropole.
Hoan Kiem
Opened in 2021, Capella Hanoi is a masterwork of theatricality — Bill Bensley's design creates an opulent tribute to Hanoi's opera heritage, complete with a soaring nine-storey atrium, butler-for-every-room service, and the extraordinary Backstage bar. The finest new luxury property in northern Vietnam.
French Quarter
The Metropole is one of Asia's truly legendary hotels — opened in 1901, it hosted Graham Greene, Charlie Chaplin, and Jane Fonda, survived American bombing raids, and has been impeccably restored while retaining every ounce of colonial mystique. The Bamboo Bar, Le Beaulieu restaurant, and wartime bunker tour are extraordinary.
