Grand Plaza Hanoi Hotel

Grand Plaza Hanoi Hotel stands at 117 Tran Duy Hung Street in Cau Giay District, the business corridor south-west of central Hanoi, Vietnam. The area is dominated by office towers, apartment blocks and shopping centres rather than historic sights, so the hotel is used mainly by corporate travellers working in Cau Giay and the wider western districts. The Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake are roughly a 25 to 40 minute drive away, depending on traffic. The property is a 618-room Korean-managed tower attached to a shopping podium, giving guests a shopping arcade and services under one roof. Room categories include Superior, Deluxe, Club Room and Suite, with club guests gaining access to an executive lounge. Dining centres on Ming Court, a Chinese restaurant, alongside other food outlets in the complex, and breakfast is a large buffet designed for high volumes of business guests. Leisure facilities include an indoor pool, a spa and a fitness centre, which makes it practical in Hanoi's hot summers and cool damp winters alike. A ballroom and meeting rooms allow the hotel to host conferences and banquets, and airport transfers are available. Service is business-oriented and efficient, with the emphasis on convenience rather than boutique character. Rates run from about 1,600,000 to 3,900,000 VND (roughly $62 to $150) per night, which offers good value for the scale of the facilities. Visitors who plan to spend most of their time in the Old Quarter may prefer a central hotel, while those with meetings in Cau Giay will find the location convenient.
