Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are all within a 15-minute walk of the hotel:

• Hoan Kiem Lake: Just five minutes from the hotel, this tranquil urban lake is the heart of Hanoi. Stroll its shaded paths, visit the 18th-century Ngoc Son Temple connected by the iconic red Huc Bridge, and watch locals practice tai chi at sunrise or gather for chess games at sunset.
• Hanoi Old Quarter: A two-minute walk from the hotel, the 36 streets of the Old Quarter were historically each dedicated to a single trade. Today, you can browse handmade crafts, sample world-famous street food like pho and banh mi, and watch street artists perform in the bustling pedestrian zones.
• St. Joseph’s Cathedral: Ten minutes’ walk away, this 19th-century Gothic cathedral is a stunning architectural landmark set on a tree-lined square. Visit for Sunday mass, or sit at one of the nearby coffee shops to admire its weathered stone facade.

Travel Tips

Book the hotel’s airport transfer in advance for a hassle-free arrival after your flight. Ask the concierge to book their paid walking tour of the Old Quarter – it’s led by a local historian and costs far less than private international tour operators. Don’t miss a 60-minute foot massage at the hotel spa after a long day of sightseeing; it’s the perfect way to soothe tired feet after exploring Hanoi’s busy streets. For guests driving, note that public parking is off-site, so allow an extra five minutes to walk to and from your car. If you’re visiting in winter, the hotel’s in-room heating keeps rooms comfortable during cool Hanoi evenings.
