Located near the popular Westlake area, Fraser Suites Hanoi is only 15 minutes from the city centre where a host of business, leisure and entertainment facilities awaits. Its location 30 minutes from the airport also makes it an ideal home for frequent travellers based in Hanoi.

Westlake, the biggest lake in central Hanoi, is an important tourist attraction that spans 500 ha of the Tay Ho district. In ancient times, it used to be the exclusive reserve of kings and mandarins. Numerous palaces and monuments were constructed on the banks of the lake, including Thuy Hoa Palace, Tu Hoa Palace, Ham Nguyen Sanctuary, Kim Lien Pagoda and Ngoc Dam Palace; some of these structures continue to impress visitors today.

The 14-km path around the lake leads to interesting must-see like the quaint Nghi Tam and Tay Ho flower villages, peach gardens of Nhat Tan and famous Tay Ho Temple. Another must-visit is the oldest pagoda in Vietnam. Built in AD541, Tran Quoc Pagoda sits on an island in Westlake, and on clear days, its ancient towers are perfectly mirrored in the still lake waters. To get an idea of the Vietnamese reverence for Ho Chi Minh, a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is de rigueur for every tourist.

In many ways, Hanoi epitomises the development of Vietnam where heritage and progress run comfortably on parallel tracks. Likewise, Fraser Suites Hanoi reflects this twin growth. The latest of only three internationally managed serviced residences in Hanoi, the top-notch service standards are reminiscent of a bygone age, where people took pride in delivering warm, genuine and attentive service, and complements perfectly the residence’s ultra-modern setup aimed at today’s corporate travellers.
