Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi - An upscale residence in the heart of Hanoi

My Guestroom at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi
Even though I have been to Vietnam several times, it was only on my most recent trip there that I discovered the busy and modern capital city at the northern end of Vietnam. This cultural city oozes charm with its beautiful lakes, alleys of the Old Quarter and colonial architecture.

I was delighted to stay at the Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi and found it the perfect base for my visit to Hanoi. I had a pleasant and comfortable all around experience staying there.

The staff were friendly and helpful, always willing and able to assist me to ensure my stay was pleasurable. Check-in was smooth with the efficient staff who spoke excellent English.

The hotel has 154 well-appointed Deluxe and Superior Rooms and Suites, including non-smoking and interconnecting rooms.

My Guestroom at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi
The elegant décor of my air-conditioned guestroom was a delight to return to at the end of each day to rest in sublime luxury. The polished timber floors, decorative walls, elegant furniture and prints on the walls contributed to its contemporary French style. I appreciated the welcome note and gifts of fruit and chocolates. It was a delight to see the magnificent city views through the window.

The spacious guestroom featured a universal power outlet, a large work desk, personal in-room safe, minibar, 24-hour room service, tea and coffee making amenities, complimentary bottled water as well as free use of the wellness facilities. I enjoyed watching the national and international cable channels on the flat-screen TV and sitting in the comfortable leather armchair. I made use of the complimentary Wi-Fi in my guestroom and also accessible throughout the hotel.

Each night I had a restful nights sleep in a very comfortable large king bed with its elegant organic linen. The pillow was just the right amount of softness for me.

My Bathroom Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi
The contemporary design of the guestroom extends to the bathroom with a full wall glass panel with blind, magnifying mirror, hairdryer and rain shower. There was complimentary sweetly fragranced toiletries, a bathrobe, slippers and bidet.

Having a sweet tooth, the best part of my stay at the Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi was indulging in the Chocolate Hour each afternoon from 5 to 6pm in the lobby. Here a fine selection of complimentary Swiss chocolates, sweets and delicacies were freely available.

Buffet Breakfast at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi
Fine dining with innovative culinary concepts is offered at the Mangosteen restaurant that is located on the second floor of the hotel. It is famous for being the first Swiss style restaurant in Hanoi. It is named after the tropical fruit that looks like a purple peach. The restaurants elegant and upscale ambience is resplendent in its subtle colour tones of white, brown and purple found on the contemporary pieces of furniture, wall art and table settings. The cuisine served is an innovative mix of Vietnamese flavours and international classics. Guests can select delicacies from a creative à-la-carte menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For the health conscious they offer a 'Go Healthy’ menu. 

I enjoyed my buffet breakfast each morning from the abundant selection of fresh hot and cold dishes. As well as the wide variety of Asian and Western buffet selections there were made to order food items such as egg dishes and pho. The breakfast was made even more perfect by the serving of several freshly made cappuccino coffees.

Buffet Breakfast at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi
The Lounge 83 is the perfect place on the ground floor for a continental breakfast, pastries and snacks. They offer a selection of terrific cocktails, martini's at their bar and fine wines from their cellar. The Lounge 83 is an ideal place to catch up with friends and enjoy the warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The Kinetic Gym and Wellness Studio located on the 3rd floor is the perfect way to keep fit by using their modern exercise equipment, massage and sauna facilities. It is the ideal place to de-stress and rejuvenate. I did not make use of the gym or massage services, but I did enjoy several times in the sauna.
