Just a 10-minute ride north of town, this smart, upscale hotel sits on a peninsula jutting out into Hanoi's picturesque West Lake in a neighborhood popular with the local expat community (which means good restaurants and services in the area). The hotel makes up for any inconvenience to town by being completely self-contained, with fine dining options and hotel services that cover all bases, from local touring to business support. Rooms are done in an ultratidy, contemporary style typical of Sheraton hotels, certainly nothing to write home about but cozy and familiar. All rooms have fine views of the lake. Bathrooms are large, with big bathtubs, separate glass shower, and fine wood and granite detail. In-house dining is tops, and transport to town is available 24 hours. The hotel is just reopening after a delay of some 7 years due to the economic collapse in 1997. Construction, though, is ongoing, with promises of more rooms as the upper floors are completed.
