Long ago, Hanoi had another name, “Thang Long” or “Rising Dragon” King Ly Thai To traveled to the area, praised for its favorable location between mountains and the Red River. The Ly king witnessed a beautiful golden dragon rising up into heaven and decided to establish his capital here in the year 1010. During his reign, Vietnam art and culture flourished, business and agriculture developed rapidly, and the Vietnamese people enjoyed an era of prosperity. Rising Dragon Hotel reflects the same optimism and pride of that long-ago era .

Rising Dragon Hotel is the innovative hotel at the very epicenter of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Gaze out at the bustling streets of Hanoi from the balcony of your contemporary room, complete with full-size bathtub, marble countertops, modern air conditioning, free wifi internet access, and hardwood floors.
