Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Old Quarter
Peridot Grand is the Old Quarter's finest boutique hotel — a beautifully converted shophouse with a rooftop pool, considered Vietnamese interior design, and a service culture of genuine warmth that the international chain hotels find difficult to replicate.
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.
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.
Old Quarter
The La Siesta group's flagship property in the Old Quarter delivers excellent mid-range value — comfortable, generously sized rooms, an outstanding complimentary breakfast, rooftop views over the tiled rooftops of the Old Quarter, and the kind of warm service that keeps guests returning.
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.
