General information: When the Quoc Hoa opened for business in 1991 it was one of the first privately run hotels in Hanoi. From fairly humble beginnings it has grown and grown, most recently (early 2005) reopening as a genuine boutique hotel in the very heart of Hanoi?s historic Old Quarter. And you don?t need to look at the star plaque to see that this hotel is in a different galaxy to most of its near neighbors. The marble foyer, doorman in pith helmet and staff wearing elegant blue ao dais (Vietnamese national dress) are a strong hint. Location: The hotel is situated in the "Old Quarter" right in the heart of Hanoi, near Hoan Kiem Lake and the magnificent Opera House. While its convenient location leaves you but a short walk to all the activity of the Old Quarter, you may find yourself not straying far as everything is just a few steps away. Area details: The hotel is nearby Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, One Pillar Pagoda, Tran Quoc Pagoda and Museum of Ethnology, Houng Pagoda, Hoa Lu-Tam Coc, Tam Coc-Bich Dong, Ha Long Bay, Ha long Bay ? Cat Ba National Park, Sapa, Mai Chau Valley. Recreation: The hotel facilities include restaurant & bar, business center, fitness center, sauna, steam room. Rooms: The hotel offers 37 rooms it maintains a certain intimacy lost in its larger competitors. Those rooms are a lesson in style - a lesson delivered by the same designer responsible for recent work on the Sofitel Metropole. All are elegant and functional, with marble bathrooms, imported carpets, Internet and little touches like dimmers on the lights. Some rooms have only indirect views, but all are double-glazed.
