Overview of Anatole Hotel Hanoi
Anatole Hotel Hanoi takes its name from the Greek word for "sunrise" - a fitting signature for a boutique five-star property that has made a rooftop infinity pool and skyline views its calling card in the middle of the Old Quarter. The hotel sits across ten floors at 26-28-30 Nha Chung Street, in the Hoan Kiem area of Hanoi, on a one-way street that keeps the motorbike traffic noise of the surrounding Old Quarter lanes at a distance while still placing guests within easy walking reach of St Joseph's Cathedral and Hoan Kiem Lake.
The property presents itself as a modern, design-led alternative to the heritage colonial-era hotels that dominate this part of Hanoi, pairing contemporary interiors with a compact but well-equipped set of wellness and dining facilities. On Traveloka, Anatole Hotel Hanoi carries a five-star classification and has built a strong reputation among guests, reflected in outstanding Traveloka guest reviews - a track record that puts it among the more consistently well-reviewed boutique hotels in the Hoan Kiem area.
What distinguishes Anatole Hotel Hanoi from many similarly sized boutique properties nearby is the combination of a rooftop pool and bar with a dedicated indoor wellness retreat, giving guests both an outdoor social space with city views and a quieter indoor space for recovery after a day of sightseeing in the Old Quarter. The sections below cover the hotel's room categories, on-site facilities, location, dining options, and practical booking guidance for anyone planning a stay through Traveloka.
Room Types at Anatole Hotel Hanoi
Eight room categories are spread across the hotel's ten floors, and the spread is really a choice between outlook and space rather than a simple good-better-best ladder. At the top sits the Anatole Terrace Suite, the property's most generous accommodation option and the one to book for guests who want their own private outdoor terrace rather than just a view through glass.
One tier below it is the Anatole Balcony Suite, which trades the terrace for a private balcony - still the only other category with outdoor space of its own, since every other room at Anatole Hotel Hanoi looks out through a window rather than a door. From there, the ladder splits into two paired tiers: Grand Executive and its smaller sibling Executive City View both open onto the Old Quarter rooftops and add extra in-room comfort touches over the standard categories, while Grand Deluxe and Deluxe City View cover the same city outlook at a more moderate size and price point.
Groups and families are catered for separately through the Family Connecting Room, which joins two rooms so that parents and children - or two couples travelling together - get adjoining but separate sleeping spaces. At the entry point of the range, the Superior Internal Window category looks onto the building's internal light well rather than the street or skyline, making it the most budget-conscious pick for guests who don't plan to spend much time in the room itself.
Exact floor areas and maximum occupancy per category aren't published in detail by the hotel, so treat the outlines above as a guide to view and configuration, and confirm precise size and bedding on the Traveloka booking page or directly with the hotel before arrival. Across the categories Traveloka lists in its structured facility data, in-room features typically include air conditioning, a bathrobe, a bathtub, cable television, a work desk, a hairdryer, an in-room safe, a minibar, a refrigerator, and a shower - individual amenities can vary by room type, so it's worth checking the specific room description at the time of booking.
Facilities and Amenities
Anatole Hotel Hanoi's amenity list centres on the pairing of a rooftop pool and bar with an indoor wellness retreat, a combination that sets it apart from many boutique hotels of a similar size in the Old Quarter. The rooftop level holds an infinity pool with sun loungers and a poolside bar, giving guests an outdoor social space with skyline views over the Hoan Kiem rooftops, while a separate indoor wellness retreat houses a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam bath for guests who prefer a quieter, more restorative stop after a day of sightseeing.

These facilities are drawn from Traveloka's own listing for the property. As with the room categories above, guests planning to make heavy use of a specific facility - the wellness retreat in particular, since sauna and steam room access can vary by time slot - should confirm current opening hours and any booking requirements with the front desk at check-in.
Location and Getting There
Anatole Hotel Hanoi's address on Nha Chung Street places it inside the historic core of Hoan Kiem, within comfortable walking distance of both St Joseph's Cathedral and Hoan Kiem Lake - two of the most recognisable landmarks in central Hanoi. The street itself runs one-way, which the hotel notes helps keep traffic noise lower than on many of the busier lanes that criss-cross the Old Quarter just to the north.
From this base, guests can walk to the shops, cafés, and street-food stalls of the Old Quarter, and reach the lake-front promenade around Hoan Kiem Lake - a popular spot for an early-morning or evening stroll - in a few minutes on foot. Nearby conveniences noted around the property include an ATM, a beauty salon, a hair salon, a gift shop, and a supermarket, which cover most day-to-day needs without requiring a taxi.
For onward travel, Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport lies well outside the Old Quarter, so most guests arriving by air will need a taxi, ride-hailing app, or an airport transfer arranged through the hotel to reach Nha Chung Street; travellers still finalising their arrival details can compare flight options for Hanoi through Traveloka's flight booking page before locking in hotel dates. Within the city, the central location also makes it straightforward to reach Hanoi's other well-known sights, including the Old Quarter's craft streets and the wider Hoan Kiem district, on foot or by a short taxi ride.
Dining at Anatole Hotel Hanoi
Anatole Hotel Hanoi's main restaurant is Joseph Restaurant, which - together with the hotel's Traveloka-listed food and beverage offering - serves a buffet breakfast, a la carte lunch and dinner, and vegetarian options for guests with dietary preferences. For something more casual, the Lobby & Bar area gives guests a ground-floor space for a coffee, a drink, or a quiet moment away from their room.
The hotel's most distinctive dining and drinks venue is the Tipsy Rooftop Bar, set alongside the rooftop infinity pool, where guests can order drinks with a view over the Old Quarter rooftops - a strong setting for a sunset drink after a day of sightseeing. A poolside bar service is also part of the hotel's confirmed facility list, reinforcing the rooftop as the property's social hub.
Beyond the hotel's own outlets, the surrounding Hoan Kiem streets are dense with independent Vietnamese restaurants, coffee shops, and street-food vendors, and guests keen to build out a food-focused itinerary around Hanoi's famous street food scene can also look at guided food or city tours through Traveloka's activities listings to structure a day of eating and exploring beyond the hotel.
Why Stay at Anatole Hotel Hanoi
Guest reviews this consistently glowing would be a strong result for any hotel, and for a ten-floor boutique property it points to a level of consistency that's hard to maintain at scale. What sets Anatole Hotel Hanoi apart from other well-reviewed boutique hotels in the Old Quarter is the pairing of two distinct wellness spaces under one roof: a rooftop infinity pool and bar for an outdoor, social evening, and a separate indoor retreat with a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam bath for guests who want to unwind away from the crowd. Add a quieter one-way street address that still puts St Joseph's Cathedral and Hoan Kiem Lake within an easy walk, and the hotel offers a genuinely central Old Quarter base without the traffic noise that comes with many neighbouring properties on busier lanes.
Tips for Booking Anatole Hotel Hanoi on Traveloka
Check-in at Anatole Hotel Hanoi opens from 2:00pm, with check-out required by midday - worth building into an arrival or departure-day itinerary, particularly if arriving on an early flight into Hanoi or departing on a late one, since luggage storage is available for guests bridging the gap either side of these times.
- Book the Family Connecting Room in advance if travelling as a group of four or more, since connecting-room inventory at boutique hotels like this tends to be limited and sells out ahead of standard categories.
- Check the current room description on the Traveloka listing for the exact view and bedding of each category before booking, since names like 'City View' describe outlook rather than size.
- If the rooftop pool and Tipsy Rooftop Bar are a priority, ask at check-in about quieter times to use the pool, as it is also the hotel's main social and dining space in the evening.
- Confirm breakfast inclusion and any extra charges for additional guests at the time of booking, since these details can vary by rate plan and season.
Once accommodation is settled, guests can round out a Hanoi itinerary by browsing Traveloka's wider Traveloka homepage for flights, activities, and other travel bookings across Vietnam.
