Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake

Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake is at B7 Giang Vo in Ba Dinh District, overlooking Giang Vo Lake in the west of central Hanoi, Vietnam. The Lotte Center and the Lotte Observation Deck are a short distance away, the Temple of Literature is a brief taxi ride, and the Old Quarter is around 4 to 5 kilometres east. The surrounding streets are busy with cafes, shops and embassies, which gives the hotel an urban but well-connected setting. The 342-room property is best known for its gold finish: gold leaf covers much of the interior and exterior, and the rooftop infinity pool is tiled in gold above the lake, a feature that has made it one of the more photographed hotels in the capital. Room categories include Deluxe, Premium Lake View, Junior Suite and a Presidential Suite, and higher floors look across Giang Vo Lake and the skyline. Dining comes from two restaurants and a rooftop bar, with a breakfast buffet that draws on Vietnamese and international dishes. Wellness facilities include a spa and a fitness centre in addition to the rooftop pool. Meeting rooms serve business guests and events, and a concierge and airport transfers add convenience. Service is polished and geared towards both leisure travellers, who come for the design and the pool, and business guests attending meetings in Ba Dinh. Rates run from about 2,300,000 to 6,500,000 VND (roughly $88 to $250) per night, with lake-view rooms and suites at the upper end. The hotel offers a distinctive alternative to conventional business towers for visitors who value spectacle.
