HOTEL du LAC SIGNATURE
Indoor pool, spa and jacuzzi near the Old City Gate
About this hotel
This is the most complete wellness stay in the Hanoi lineup, combining an indoor swimming pool with spa facilities, a sauna, steam room, fitness centre and jacuzzi, all under a kilometre from Hanoi Old City Gate and Hoan Kiem Lake. Being indoors, the pool stays usable regardless of Hanoi's cool December-to-February stretch, unlike the many rooftop pools nearby that scale back over winter. The family-friendly restaurant serves American, Vietnamese, Asian and barbecue grill cuisines with vegetarian and vegan options, and breakfast covers everything from continental to full English. A coffee shop, outdoor seating and full-day security round out the property, and bike or car hire is available for guests wanting to explore further afield. Noi Bai International Airport is 23 kilometres away, with a paid shuttle service available.

Our take
This suits travellers prioritising a dependable pool over rooftop views, especially for a cool-season Hanoi trip when an indoor pool and jacuzzi genuinely matter. The full wellness floor makes it the strongest single choice for a spa-and-pool combination on this list. Travellers specifically wanting a rooftop view alongside their swim should look at The Oriental Jade Hotel or GM Premium Hotel instead, since this pool sits entirely indoors.
- ✓Book this hotel specifically for a December-to-February trip, when its indoor pool outlasts most rooftop competitors.
- ✓Use the paid airport shuttle if arriving with heavy luggage, rather than negotiating a taxi from Noi Bai International Airport.
- ✓Set aside time for both the sauna and steam room, since the wellness floor is built around using them together.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the indoor pool removes all the weather guesswork that comes with Hanoi's rooftop options, and the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi combination makes for a genuinely full wellness afternoon rather than a quick dip. The short walk to Hanoi Old City Gate keeps sightseeing easy despite the wellness-heavy focus. It's the strongest pick on this list for anyone visiting outside the hot May-to-September stretch.
