Fodor's Expert Review Pan Pacific Hanoi

Stunning views of Truc Bach Lake and West Lake and a central location are two of the highlights of this luxury hotel, but the standout is the indoor heated swimming pool with a view over the neighboring lakes and a retractable roof for year-round swimming. Central Hanoi is only a few minutes' drive away, plus it's a short hop to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and diplomatic district. The rooms are both comfortable and tasteful. Two restaurants serve sumptuous Chinese and Western food, and a rooftop bar affords a great view of the city.
