Pan Pacific Hanoi

Pan Pacific Hanoi is at 1 Thanh Nien Road in Ba Dinh District, on the causeway that separates West Lake from Truc Bach Lake. The site is unusual because water lies on both sides, and the hotel's 20-storey tower gives many rooms a lake view. The Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake are a short taxi ride to the south, and Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and the Tran Quoc Pagoda, which sits on an island in West Lake, are close by. Room categories include Deluxe, Premier Lake View and Pacific Club rooms, plus suites, with rates from about 2,300,000 to 5,700,000 VND per night. The hotel is best known in Hanoi, Vietnam, for the rooftop Summit Lounge, one of the city's best-known panoramic bars, which gives wide views over both lakes and the skyline at dusk. Ming restaurant provides Chinese cuisine, and other dining and bar options serve breakfast and international dishes. An outdoor pool, spa, fitness centre and tennis court cover leisure needs, while meeting rooms and a concierge desk support business travellers. Airport transfer can be arranged through the hotel. Service is business-oriented and international in style, and the property suits couples, corporate guests and travellers who want a lake outlook with a short trip into the centre. The Thanh Nien causeway is also a popular walking and jogging route, and the surrounding area has cafes, seafood restaurants and the well-known Truc Bach lakeside bars. Guests who plan a full day in the Old Quarter should account for traffic on the causeway at rush hour.
