Hanoi's hotels in this directory sit across the Vietnamese capital's newer districts rather than the Old Quarter: several overlook West Lake (Ho Tay), the city's largest lake and a leafy expat and dining area, while others anchor the business corridors west of the centre near convention and embassy zones. All are a manageable drive from Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) to the north, though the city's traffic makes proximity to your specific destination the main practical factor.
