Hanoi’s highest hotel opens its doors

Perched on top of the towering Keangnam Landmark72 building, occupying the 62nd to 71st floors, InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72 is now welcoming guests to enjoy one of its 359 sophisticated and luxurious rooms.
The capital’s newest luxury hotel is within the wider Landmark72 complex, which comprises retail, commercial and entertainment offerings, including a variety of meeting spaces ranging from 70 to 920 square metres.
It is situated close to some of Hanoi’s major landmarks and attractions such as the Hanoi Museum, Vietnam National Convention Centre, Garden Shopping Centre and the headquarters of many Vietnamese multinational corporations.
The hotel is less than 40 minutes from Noi Bai International Airport, promising guests a smooth transit when visiting the capital.
Leanne Harwood, IHG’s vice president, operations, South East Asia and Korea, said: “Hanoi is truly a booming travel destination in the region, with double-digit year-on-year growth in international arrivals and attracting over four million visitors in 2016 alone.
“Opening our second InterContinental hotel in Hanoi puts us in even better position to offer top-notch luxury accommodation for travellers in the country.
“The launch marks an exciting time for IHG and for the InterContinental brand as we have made history by welcoming guests to the highest hotel in Vietnam.”
Across South East Asia, there are 17 InterContinental hotels and resorts with 11 more due to open in the next three to five years. InterContinental Hanoi Landmark72 is the second InterContinental in Hanoi, joining the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake near Hanoi’s famous Old Quarter.
