A resort-style five-star hotel whose over-water pavilion rooms are reached by timber causeways, with an infinity-edge pool and the Sunset Bar.
InterContinental Hanoi Westlake is at 5 Tu Hoa Street in Tay Ho District, Hanoi, Vietnam, built out over the water of West Lake beside the Kim Lien Pagoda. Tay Ho is the city's lakeside district with a large expatriate community, cafes and restaurants, and the hotel is a quieter, greener base than the Old Quarter. The Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake are roughly 15 to 25 minutes away by taxi, and Noi Bai International Airport is about 35 to 40 minutes by car.
The resort-style design is the property's main distinction. Many rooms are in over-water pavilions reached by timber causeways, and the lake surrounds the buildings, giving a tropical-resort feel within the city. Room categories include the Classic Room, Premium Lake View, Pavilion Room and Presidential Suite. Sunset views over West Lake are a recurring theme of the stay.
Dining centres on the Milan restaurant, which serves Italian and international dishes, and the Sunset Bar, a lakeside venue for evening drinks. Leisure facilities include an outdoor infinity-edge pool, a spa, a fitness centre and a tennis court, making it a good choice for guests who want to relax on site.
Service is leisure-oriented, with a concierge who can arrange airport transfers and tours into the centre. Couples and families often choose it for weekend stays, and its lakeside lawns and ballrooms are popular for weddings. Nightly rates run from about 3,100,000 to 9,100,000 VND, with pavilion and lake-view categories at the top of the range.
