The InterContinental Hanoi Hotel was officially inaugurated on April 8 in the presence of Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razakm and Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Truong Vinh Trong.
The five-star hotel, a joint venture between the Hanoi Tourism Corporation and Malaysian Berjaya group, has 359 rooms with views over West Lake--the largest lake in Hanoi.
The hotel also boasts three restaurants, two bars, a fitness club, a swimming pool, four meeting rooms and a luxury conference room.
It is the only hotel in Vietnam to be featured on Condé Nast Traveler’s 2008 Hot List, garnering the honour for its “sublime†waterfront locale.
