Hilton Hotel
*****
Hanoi - Vietnam
The seven-storey Hilton Hanoi Opera is in the city centre within easy
walking distance to Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter.
Built in 1999, it's a French colonial style building sweeping in a long curve
along one side of Hanoi's magnifice nt Opera House, a smaller replica of Paris's
Opera Garnier. It's a rare example of modern city architecture not just
complementing an historic neighbour but actually enhancing it. Fortunately, the
designers ignored the temptation to install large windows and thus destroy the
area's architectural integrity - even so, the occasional Philistine complains
because the upper floors don't have a floor to ceiling panorama despite a
perfectly adequate view.
The Hilton's 269 rooms are unusually well appointed, tastefully decorated on
a Vietnamese theme, and very comfortable. Fixtures, fittings and furniture are
all high quality. There are two main restaurants as well as other outlets.
Between them, they cover a comprehensive range of Asian and international
cuisines. Standards of preparation, presentation and service are high.
The ground floor patisserie is a delight if you're not too worried about your
waistline. Even if you do over-indulge, a well-equipped health and fitness
centre will burn away the extra calories. Strictly speaking, the hotel doesn't
have a pool bar. However, there is a large bar immediately adjacent to both pool
and health centre.
Feedback from our customers has been very positive. That, it's central
location, helpful and friendly staff, careful attention to detail, and good
value for money, has persuaded us to to make the Hanoi Hilton one of our few
featured hotels.
