Hanoi Pearl Hotel, Hanoi

A short distance from Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi Pearl Hotel opened it doors in July 2013 and provides an excellent four star option in the heart of the Vietnam's capital city. The hotel has contemporary design yet with a distinct Vietnamese twist and understated feel. There are seventy elegant guestrooms with white panelled walls, stylish furniture and heavy plain curtains. Bathrooms are top notch too, but note some come with a shower over a bath and others with just a shower cubicle, so be sure to ask if you have a preference. There is also a small stylish restaurant where meals are served but although the hotel is within walking distance with a number of good local coffee shops and restaurants.
