Here's To Hanoi
Robb Report Singapore|July 2018

Known for its centuries-old heritage, the Vietnamese capital now also boasts fresh, new reasons to visit.

Here's To Hanoi

Vietnam’s capital might lack the incessant development of the economic nexus Ho Chi Minh City, but it’s always been a pleasing retreat, with storied hotels like Sofitel Legend Metropole, morning walks around boisterous Hoan Kiem Lake and the restless commerce of the Old Quarter. But now, thanks to a slew of new openings, the city might give its southern adversary a run for its money.

ROOMS WITH A VIEW

Built on the site of a private house in the frenetic Old Quarter, Hanoi La Siesta Central Hotel is a comely addition to the city’s most fascinating, lively neighbourhood. With only 30 rooms, the property oozes class and sophistication, from the grand entry stairway to the refined spa with three treatment rooms and traditional Vietnamese therapies. Rooms have wood floors, grey walls, and select, understated artwork; a few suites feature spacious balconies, beautiful neoclassical spaces with black and white tiled floors, wrought iron railings, and views of the Old Quarter’s lanes below. On the seventh floor, Red Bean Central has high ceilings, a menu of modern Vietnamese dishes, and a pretty terrace area with city views. From here a set of spiral stairs leads up to Twilight Sky Bar, a cocktail joint on a large terrace with a sleek bar, a granite counter lining the perimeter of its terrace, and stunning vistas of the skyline and Hoan Kiem Lake.hanoilasiestacentralhotel.com
