La Siesta Premium Lakeside
From
88.263 €
“Rooftop with infinity pool overlooking Hoàn Kiếm lake, open until 22h.”
La Siesta Premium Lakeside occupies a rare address in Hanoï, rue Ba Trieu, with direct view over Hoàn Kiếm lake and its banks planted with tamarind trees. We tested a room on the sixth floor: dark wood parquet, king-size bed in white linen, grey marble bathroom with separate bath and shower, natural light filtered by silk voiles. The rooftop with infinity pool offers a unique perspective on Ngoc Son temple and the roofs of the old quarter, particularly at sunset. The spa offers traditional Vietnamese massages and treatments with local herbs, cabins with lake view. The service is attentive without being intrusive, French and English speaking staff. From 88 € per night, it is one of the best value for money-location in the capital. ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend La Siesta Premium Lakeside to couples on a cultural discovery trip who want contemporary comfort without the impersonal scale of large chain hotels. It is an address for thirty- and forty-somethings on a city break, discreet honeymoon, or solo travellers who appreciate well-kept small properties. Families with children will find their place thanks to family rooms and the pool, yet the atmosphere remains hushed, conducive to rest after exploring the old quarter.
The building

Double-height lobby on the ground floor, carved wooden staircase, works by local artists on the walls. Rooms between 28 and 45 m², all with lake or city view, marble bathrooms with bath.
