Minerva Premium Hotel
City-view hot tub a short walk from the lake
About this hotel
The hot tub here sits on a terrace with city views rather than tucked indoors, giving guests a spot to watch Hanoi's rooftops while soaking after a day spent walking. Trang Tien Plaza and Hoan Kiem Lake are both under a kilometre away, and St Joseph Cathedral and the Hanoi Opera House are within walking distance too, making this a genuinely central base for Old Quarter sightseeing. Spa facilities and an outdoor dining area round out the amenities, and the family-friendly restaurant serves Vietnamese and European cuisine alongside a wide breakfast spread that runs continental, American, buffet and full English or Irish style. Rooms come with air-conditioning, a work desk and a minibar, and Noi Bai International Airport is 25 kilometres away, the longest airport transfer among Hanoi's city-centre jacuzzi hotels.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a hot tub with an actual view rather than an enclosed space, paired with easy access to Trang Tien Plaza's shopping and Hoan Kiem Lake's walking paths. It's a straightforward four-star stay rather than a luxury wellness retreat, so travellers wanting spa treatments as the main draw should look at hotels with a fuller spa package, like L'Signature Hotel & Spa nearby.
- ✓Time the hot tub for late afternoon, when the terrace view over the city catches the best light before sunset.
- ✓Walk to Trang Tien Plaza for shopping, under a kilometre away, before or after a Hoan Kiem Lake loop.
- ✓Ask about the outdoor dining area for breakfast, a quieter alternative to the main restaurant space.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here appreciate the terrace hot tub for its actual view over the city rather than a walled-in soak, and the short walk to both Trang Tien Plaza and Hoan Kiem Lake makes it easy to fill a day without relying on taxis. It's a solid, unfussy stay for a couple or small group focused on walking the Old Quarter rather than a wellness-first trip, with the hot tub as a relaxed way to end the day.
