La Belle Maison
Lakeside views and an outdoor fireplace by the theater
About this hotel
La Belle Maison sits close enough to Thang Long Water Puppet Theater that it's practically a neighbor, with Hoan Kiem Lake a six-minute walk away and lakeside city views built into the terrace itself. The outdoor fireplace is a distinctive addition among the city centre's rooftop and terrace hotels, giving the space a warmth that suits cooler evenings when other terraces might feel exposed. Concierge and a 24-hour front desk keep the stay smooth, and the restaurant and bar downstairs extend the same lakeside-adjacent atmosphere into dinner, with Hanoi Old City Gate under a kilometre away for guests planning a walking evening around the lake before the fireplace draws them back upstairs.

Our take
A distinctive choice for travelers wanting lakeside-adjacent views paired with the outdoor fireplace's warmth — a detail rare enough among Hanoi's rooftop and terrace hotels to be worth seeking out specifically. Guests wanting a rooftop pool or dedicated bar program should look toward the city centre's larger luxury properties instead.
- ✓Use the outdoor fireplace on cooler evenings — it's an uncommon amenity that makes terrace time comfortable later into the night.
- ✓Walk to Thang Long Water Puppet Theater, just steps away, before or after a terrace evening.
- ✓Ask the concierge about combining a terrace dinner with the six-minute walk to Hoan Kiem Lake.
