Movenpick Hotel Hanoi Centre

Movenpick Hotel Hanoi Centre sits at 83A Ly Thuong Kiet Street in Hoan Kiem District, on a quiet tree-lined stretch of the French Quarter close to Hanoi Railway Station. The location gives easy access to the train station for onward travel, and the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Opera House are each within a short taxi ride or a longer walk. The hotel is a compact property of 154 rooms set in a restored colonial-era building, and it carries the Swiss Movenpick brand's relaxed but polished style. Room categories include Superior, Executive and Junior Suite rooms, plus the Movenpick Suite, with rates from about 1,800,000 to 4,400,000 VND per night. Dining is anchored by the Mangosteen restaurant, which serves breakfast and international and Vietnamese dishes, while a lobby bar covers drinks through the day. The hotel is known for its daily chocolate hour, a brand tradition that appeals to families and travellers with a sweet tooth. Facilities include a fitness centre, meeting rooms, laundry service, concierge and airport transfer, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout. The service character is business-oriented but friendly, which suits corporate visitors in Hanoi, Vietnam, as well as leisure travellers who want a calm base away from the Old Quarter's noise. The tree-lined street is noticeably quieter than the lanes around the lake, and the surrounding French Quarter has cafes, embassies and colonial villas that reward a slow walk. Because the hotel lacks a large resort-style pool, it is best chosen for its location, service and dining rather than for on-site leisure facilities.
