Lucien Hanoi Lakeside Hotel & Rooftop
A five-star terrace with a hot tub built in
About this hotel
Lucien Hanoi Lakeside Hotel & Rooftop pairs its sun terrace with a hot tub, a combination that pushes the rooftop experience here closer to a wellness retreat than a straightforward bar terrace. Spa facilities and a fitness centre sit on nearby floors, and private check-in and check-out extend the five-star register from arrival through to the rooftop itself. The restaurant's American, Vietnamese, and international menus, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, along with a breakfast spread of local specialities and fresh pastries, round out a stay built for guests who want the full five-star sequence — spa, terrace, hot tub, dinner — without needing to leave the property at any point in the day.

- Spa facilities
Our take
Well suited to travelers wanting a five-star rooftop experience anchored around relaxation rather than nightlife — the hot tub and spa combination sets this apart from bar-focused city-centre properties. Those after a livelier rooftop scene or dramatic skyline view should look toward the Old Quarter's Sky Bar cluster instead, since this rooftop is built for winding down rather than winding up.
- ✓Book the hot tub for early evening, when the terrace is calm before dinner service picks up downstairs.
- ✓Pair a spa treatment with terrace time for the fullest sense of the property's wellness-forward rooftop.
- ✓Check the restaurant's dietary range in advance — the vegan and dairy-free options here are broader than most comparable hotels.
Why we love it

Why guests love itA vegan traveler and her partner chose Lucien partly because the restaurant handles vegan and dairy-free diets without fuss. After long days walking the city, their ritual barely changed: an hour in the hot tub on the sun terrace as the light faded, then a spa treatment or a quiet dinner downstairs. Mornings started in the fitness centre. They found the rooftop more about unwinding than socialising, which was exactly the point; anyone after a lively bar crowd should look toward the Old Quarter's Sky Bar cluster instead.
