ALL LOYALTY PROGRAMME
Hanoi is Vietnam's capital and one of Asia's most atmospheric cities. A thousand-year-old city of lakes, French colonial boulevards, and a labyrinthine Old Quarter where the past feels astonishingly close to the surface. Founded in 1010 as the capital of the Ly Dynasty, Hanoi has been the seat of Vietnamese power on and off for a millennium, and the layering of dynastic, French colonial, and modern Vietnamese influence gives the city's streetscape an extraordinary visual richness. Hoan Kiem Lake sits at the city's heart, its red Huc Bridge and turtle tower drawing locals for morning tai chi and evening strolls. The Old Quarter's 36 guild streets, each historically devoted to a single trade, remain a dense maze of shophouses, street food vendors, and motorbike traffic that overwhelms first-time visitors before utterly charming them. The French Quarter's tree-lined boulevards and colonial villas, the solemn Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the city's legendary street food culture, anchored by pho and the unhurried ritual of Vietnamese coffee, make Hanoi one of the most rewarding capital cities in Southeast Asia.
Hoan Kiem Lake — the spiritual and geographic heart of Hanoi — is where the city gathers each morning for tai chi, badminton, and the simple pleasure of walking beside water, with the red Huc Bridge leading to the small Ngoc Son Temple on an island in the lake's northern half. The Old Quarter, immediately north of the lake, is one of the most atmospheric historic urban districts in Asia — its 36 guild streets, each named for a trade once practised there, now host a dense concentration of street food stalls, shops, and the famous beer corner where plastic stools spill onto the pavement each evening. The Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first national university founded in 1070, is a beautifully preserved Confucian temple complex of considerable historical importance. The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and the adjacent Presidential Palace and One Pillar Pagoda form the most solemn and historically significant site in the city. The Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, in the western suburbs, provides the country's finest introduction to its 54 ethnic groups. Hotel de l'Opera Hanoi - MGallery Collection is located minutes from the Hanoi Opera House and Hoan Kiem Lake, immersing guests directly in the city's French colonial heart. Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has anchored this same historic district since 1901. Grand Mercure Hanoi is within walking distance to the Temple of Literature.
