Experience of the stay
Located on a high floor of Landmark72, the InterContinental Hanoi is a high-end hotel known for its consistently excellent hospitality.
Since the hotel is near the Korean district Nam Tu Liem, I may have appeared Korean, as I was greeted in Korean during check-in.
Many staff members are Korean, and you can choose from three languages on the TV: Vietnamese, English, and Korean.
There are Hangul characters everywhere in the hotel, and I never imagined I would feel this Korean atmosphere at the InterContinental in Hanoi.
If you're not bothered by the Korean vibe in Vietnam, this is quite a nice hotel, typical of the InterContinental brand.
The only downside was that despite being on a high floor, there was air pollution, so the view wasn't as beautiful as in Tokyo or Osaka. But it was still good enough!
Experiences during the trip
Strolling through Hanoi's Old Quarter is a delightful experience as you can feel the exotic atmosphere.
However, it's quite far from this hotel to the Old Quarter, so I took a Grab motorbike taxi. It was thrilling, but it created a wonderful memory of feeling fully immersed in the city while sightseeing.
