A 181-room hotel that opened in 2023 near the Temple of Literature, with a rattan-and-birdcage-lamp room design and a rooftop gym and pool.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Grand Mercure Hanoi opened in 2023 near the Temple of Literature, one of Hanoi's most significant cultural sites, offering straightforward room categories that make it approachable for a range of travelers. The 181-room hotel's design leans into warm brown tones with rattan headboards and bird-cage lamps, a noticeable step up from standard Mercure properties, and its breakfast buffet includes noodle and egg stations, fresh sushi, salads, and hot dishes. Guests consistently praise the stylish room design, helpful concierge service, and affordable pricing for the quality on offer, though lower floors have limited views due to neighbouring construction and the airport sits a notably long 45 minutes away.
