Somerset Grand Hanoi

Somerset Grand Hanoi is at 49 Hai Ba Trung Street in Hoan Kiem District, in central Hanoi near the Vietnamese Women's Museum and the Hoa Lo Prison museum. Hoan Kiem Lake and the Opera House are within walking distance, and the surrounding French Quarter has cafes, restaurants and shops. The property is a serviced-apartment tower, and it differs from a standard hotel in offering full kitchens in the units, which makes it well suited to longer stays and to families in Hanoi, Vietnam. Apartment types include One-Bedroom, Two-Bedroom and Three-Bedroom apartments as well as Executive Apartments, with rates from about 1,800,000 to 4,200,000 VND per night. Residents have access to an outdoor pool, a fitness centre and a children's playroom, while a supermarket in the podium below makes it easy to buy groceries and basic supplies without leaving the building. Laundry service, a meeting room and 24-hour security are also provided, which appeals to relocating professionals and business travellers on extended assignments. There is no signature restaurant on site, so guests usually cook in their apartments or eat at nearby restaurants. Service is practical and residential in character, with less of the formal concierge atmosphere of a luxury hotel. The central position keeps most main sights within a short walk or short taxi ride, and the extra living space helps groups who would otherwise need several hotel rooms. The Discover Asr brand operates the property under its Somerset serviced-residence label. Weekly and monthly stays are common, and travellers should ask about longer-stay rates directly with the operator.
