"Located near Hoan Kiem Lake, this city-center hotel delivers sumptuous, Bensley-designed interiors across 47 individually decorated suites that showcase memorabilia from local performers and artists, plus a mirrored subterranean swimming pool. Dining and nightlife highlights include a Japan-inspired, zero-waste sake lounge where bartenders hand-cut ice and use an indoor herb garden as part of the cocktail program." - Kathryn Romeyn
