Then the next day, I met the owner, a state travel company (BTW who also owns the Hilton Opera). The Chairman invited me to go to the opening in Dec last year. Didn't get a chance to go though.

Too bad, their RA upgrade is not up-to-date yet. Look forward to going to this property.
The following night we stayed at the Sheraton BTW. You really cannot compare the Sheraton to the new IC at all, although it seems that it does house one of the better nightclubs for Hanoi that is allowed to stay open past midnight.
