HERE’S TO HANOI
Known for its centuries-old heritage, the Vietnamese capital now also boasts fresh, new reasons to visit.
Vietnam’s capital might lack the incessant development of the economic nexus Ho Chi Minh City, but it’s always been a pleasing retreat, with storied hotels like Sofitel Legend Metropole, morning walks around boisterous Hoan Kiem Lake and the restless commerce of the Old Quarter. But now, thanks to a slew of new openings, the city might give its southern adversary a run for its money.
