Hanoi has a wide range of hotels on offer, from inexpensive to opulent. The best area to stay in is the Hoan Kiem Lake area, with its wide selection of shops, restaurants and sights, all within easy walking distance of the lake. I've picked out a couple of standouts that get consistently good reviews. The Metropole in particular will attract those looking for a bit of history.
