Families with children and couples who desire both the yin of the city buzz and the yang of a peaceful retreat.
A forty-minute drive from Noi Bai International Airport brings you to the hotel on the banks of the serene Hồ Tây Lake. Neighbouring the famous and ancient Golden Lotus Pagoda, the hotel is just minutes from central Hanoi.
With a minimum area of 43 square metres, the hotel’s 359 elegant rooms, some of which are uniquely located in lakeside pavilions, are probably the largest in Vietnam. Wooden floors, contemporary Vietnamese decorative touches and the highest standards of furnishings and mod cons are the order of the day here.
For informal breakfasts, lunches and dinners the Café du Lac provides the flair and ambience of a classical French brasserie. Saigon offers the freshest and most sumptuous Vietnamese cuisine along with stunning views of Hanoi’s skyline. Milan brings the best traditional Italian dishes to a contemporary setting and accompanies them with a selection of the finest Italian wines. For cocktails head to the Sunset Bar, romantically situated on its own island in the lake.
Besides an outdoor swimming pool, the Intercontinental Hanoi Westlake hotel has a fully-equipped fitness centre, spa and steam room. For those who wish to explore Hanoi’s major attractions including museums, temples and pagodas, the Intercontinental’s central location is simply perfect.
The nearby Long Bien Bridge across Hanoi’s Red River was designed by French architect Gustav Eiffel, perhaps better known for his tower.
