Intercontinental, Hanoi

Hanoi’s newest luxury hotel is located forty minutes from the airport and fifteen minutes from many sightseeing attractions and shopping areas. It is built over the serene waters of the historic WestLake and is adjacent to the 800 year old Golden Lotus Pagoda. All rooms and suites combine traditional Vietnamese style with modern design and feature private balconies with superb views of the lake or the Hanoi skyline. The restaurants, facilities and the service are all first class; particularly dramatic is the sunset bar, positioned on its own island and reached by a torch-lit bridge.
