Hanoi is an inimitable city, branded by its world-renowned cuisine, striking history (told in its many quarters), and the constant beep of mopeds. Along the iconic Hang Be street in the Old Quarter, La Siesta is a glitzy, stylish and inventive hotel. If you don't believe us, check out the rooftop Lighthouse Sky Bar; it certainly does the trick, with walls of glass that take the shape of a ship 'moored' on the 10th and 11th floors in homage to the vessels that were once sold on the street. Inside, the suites are slick and refined with views over the bustling lanes below. Just the place to return to after a day out in Vietnam's capital.
Decorated in dark woods, grey moulded walls, and boudoir-style furnishings, the suites at La Siesta are well-groomed. King-sized beds fit to please the biggest bed snob dominate the room, a fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere, and the bathrooms (some semi open-air) are designed in moody tones with oval mirrors and large tubs. There are a range of room types, from the duplex suite with a downstairs lounge area to the Penthouse, which has a spacious patio, personal butler and complimentary chauffeur service.
The Lighthouse bar really is that good, so named for the red and white lighthouse that shines across the city every night.
Be sure to ask for your waiter's favourite local dishes - Hanoi is the Vietnam's food capital after all.
The front-facing rooms have the best views of the city, so it's worth requesting one when you book.
