STAY

Hanoi La Siesta Hotel Trendy Though the Metropole is still the premier address, a new wave of design hotels is appealing to boutique tastes. In a crooked Old Quarter street, the well-appointed Trendy has 70 smart rooms, with Vietnamese retro furnishings and French tiling. Its Red Bean restaurant does classic Vietnamese and European dishes with flair, and basement bar The Den serves cocktails and Château Margaux. 12 Nguyen Quang Bich, hanoilasiestatrendyhotel.com
