The Grand Plaza Hanoi Hotel is a large, comfortable hotel in the Cau Giay district on Tran Duy Hung Street, in the modern western part of the city. This is a district of offices, apartment blocks, shopping malls and parks, rather than temples and old houses, so the hotel suits travellers who value space, facilities and a quieter pace over walking distance to the sights. The rooms are roomy and well equipped, there is a swimming pool and a fitness centre, a spa offering massages and treatments and a choice of restaurants and bars. The price is noticeably lower than central five-star hotels with a similar range of facilities, which makes it a good-value option for families and groups. A taxi or ride-hailing car to the Old Quarter takes about twenty to thirty minutes depending on traffic, and the hotel can arrange tours and transfers. It is a sensible choice for business travellers, visitors with young children and anyone who does not mind a short drive to the historic centre.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Tran Duy Hung Street in Cau Giay district, about eight kilometres west of Hoan Kiem Lake. The drive to the Old Quarter takes twenty to thirty minutes or more at rush hour. The area has shopping malls, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants, and Noi Bai airport is about forty minutes away by road. Ride-hailing cars are inexpensive and easy to use.
The rooms
Rooms are spacious by Hanoi standards, with comfortable beds, desks and large bathrooms. Executive rooms and suites offer extra space, and family rooms are available. Higher floors look over the city and nearby parks, and the quieter rooms face away from the main road.
Facilities
The hotel has a swimming pool, a fitness centre, a spa, several restaurants and bars, meeting rooms and a front desk that arranges tours and transport. Breakfast is a buffet. Facilities and opening hours change, so check them when you book.
Who it suits
Business travellers, families, groups and visitors on a longer stay who want a calm, practical base with good facilities at a fair price. It is less suited to travellers who want to walk to the lake in the evening or to explore the Old Quarter after dark.
Good to know
Breakfast is often charged separately, so check your rate. Plan sightseeing around traffic, since the roads between Cau Giay and the centre are busy at peak hours. Nearby malls offer shopping, food courts and entertainment for rainy days. If you want to stay in a more historic part of the city for part of your trip, you can combine a few nights here with a few in the Old Quarter.
