By Updated

This guide covers 15+ luxury hotels and experiences in Hà Nội — Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, Capella Hanoi and Hilton Hanoi Opera top the list. Every recommendation carries its practical details: typical costs, the best time to visit, and what to know before you commit.

Hà Nội (Hanoi) is the capital of Vietnam and its cultural heart, a city of lakes, tree-lined French colonial boulevards, and a thousand-year-old Old Quarter where every street once specialised in a single trade. Visitors come for street food such as phở and bún chả, egg coffee, water puppet theatre, temples and museums, and easy access to Hạ Long Bay, Ninh Bình, and the northern mountains.
