Intercontinental Hanoi Westlake is a hotel at the centre of two worlds, both equally attractive. A serene and restful retreat on the shores of West Lake within easy reach of Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter, it is that rare combination of urban luxury that promises excitement and relaxation.

Traditionally Vietnamese in design, your guestroom is spacious and tastefully modern. Comfort finds new levels in these rooms but it’s the view from your private balcony that will really strike you – look out upon the colourful city lights reflected in the surface of the lake and the small boats floating by. A state-of-the-art onsite health and fitness centre offers guests the opportunity to stay on top of their fitness regimes while the outdoor pool means you can cool off afterwards. You also might like the idea of Taichi, Yoga, Aerobics and Pilates classes that are available.

Guests find it easy to socialise in the alluring atmosphere of the cocktail lounge while the restaurants provide all the candle-lit romance you need for those tables for two.
