The hotel is scenically located, on the banks of the romantic West Lake, within the cultural and political centre of Hanoi.  Within easy walking distances from here are: The Tran Quoc Pagoda; the Quan Thanh temple; the historic Ba Dinh square; president Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum and the 10th century one pillar pagoda constructed during the Ly dynasty.
 

Slightly further North, one should not miss the Kim Lien Pagoda and Nghi Tam village, where the beautiful flower markets have operated for hundreds of years.
