I requested and was given a tour of the hotel today and it is a very beautiful property. Feels very much like a resort rather than a business hotel.

The entire hotel is built over the lake comprising of several blocks ranging from 3 to 5/6 storeys high, all linked together by walkways. The rooms are beautiful, modern asian decor with high ceilings and every room comes with a balcony. 2-3 blocks furthest away from the lobby will only open in February next year, and from what I can see the view there is quite stunning.

The IC must be the best hotel in Hanoi right now. The location next to the Sheraton is an oasis of calm and yet is only 10min away from the Old Quarter.
