Travel + Leisure reveals top 10 best city hotels in Vietnam

Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2023 has revealed its readers’ picks of the best city hotels in Vietnam.

Capella Hanoi ranks first in the list of top 10 best city hotels in Vietnam as complied by Travel + Leisure

Accordingly, Capella Hanoi, which is located on Le Phung Hieu street, topped the list.

“The suites tell the stories of famous artists and performers; the penthouse Hudson Rooms is urbane, while Hibana, the precision teppanyaki, is simply exquisite”, says Travel + Leisure.

Meanwhile, the second place went to Sofitel Legend Metropole. Founded in 1901, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is one of the oldest hotels in the capital and has been used to serve former US presidents, including Barack Obama, during their past visits to the nation.

The hotel is home to a two-metre-high wartime bomb shelter which was discovered by chance in 2011. It was where many famous figures of the Vietnam War, including actress Jane Fonda and author Tom Hayden, both anti-war activists, took refugee as bombs rained down on Hanoi.

Travel + Leisure magazine also recommended that tourists try classic Vietnamese cuisine like spring rolls and pho (a type of noodle soup), and other Western delicacies such as eggs benedict and French toast while staying at the hotel.

Park Hyatt Saigon won the third position thanks to its sophisticated design, handcrafted details and modern-day comforts. World-class Saigon restaurants and bars include Opera, offering authentic Italian cuisine, Square One, serving both Vietnamese and Western dishes, and Park Lounge, specialising in afternoon tea.

Other Vietnam’s best city hotels named in the list of Travel + Leisure were The Reverie Saigon Hotel, Mia Saigon, InterContinental Saigon, New World Saigon Hotel, Hotel de la Coupole – Mgallery, Caravelle Saigon, and InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72.
