MAY DE VILLE Lumiere Hotel
Rooftop pool and spa by the Old City Gate
About this hotel
The rooftop pool and spa here come with a genuinely five-star room package: bathrobes, streaming services and soundproofing, a step up from the more functional four-star hotels in this guide. Hanoi Old City Gate and Hoan Kiem Lake are both a short walk away, and Thang Long Water Puppet Theater and the Hanoi Opera House sit within easy reach too. The family-friendly restaurant serves Vietnamese, local, international and European cuisines with vegetarian, gluten-free and halal options, and breakfast covers buffet, à la carte and brunch service. A 24-hour front desk and concierge service handle arrivals and requests around the clock, and the fitness room stays close at hand for guests who want to keep a routine going. Noi Bai International Airport is 24 kilometres away.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting a genuinely comfortable room to return to after the rooftop pool and spa, particularly anyone valuing halal or gluten-free dining options at breakfast. Couples wanting a quieter, soundproofed stay near the Old City Gate get strong value here. Travellers on a tighter budget should compare against the four-star options on this list, since the room package here sits at the premium end.
- ✓Ask about halal breakfast options in advance if needed, since the restaurant lists them among its offerings.
- ✓Walk to Hanoi Old City Gate first thing, before the short route gets busy with Old Quarter foot traffic.
- ✓Use the soundproofed rooms to your advantage for an afternoon rest between the pool and an evening water puppet show.
