Pan Pacific Hanoi

Pan Pacific Hanoi is an elegant lakeside hotel on the northern shore of West Lake, offering an unusually tranquil luxury experience for a major international hotel in a capital city. The 324 rooms and suites look out over the 500-hectare West Lake — the largest lake in Hanoi and a center of the city's leisure culture — from a setting of refined calm that contrasts with the bustle of the Old Quarter and the city center nearby. The hotel's outdoor pool, several restaurants, and the Spa Pacific wellness center make it a genuine urban resort, and the West Lake location provides easy access to Trúc Bạch Lake, the ancient Trấn Quốc Pagoda, and the fashionable Tây Hồ residential district popular with the expatriate community.
