Vietnam #13: The Best View in Hanoi
We opted to stay at the Sheraton Hanoi Hotel, located on the edge of West Lake, Hanoi’s largest lake. The Sheraton cost a mere 3,000 – 3,500 points a night. The northern location is a 45 minute walk or 15 minute drive from the Old Quarter, but the Sheraton offers a complimentary shuttle into town (but not back to the hotel), and taxis are so cheap that it wasn’t an issue.
The decor in rather dated, and I was surprised to find out the hotel was only 10 years old.
The best part of the hotel though is the Sheraton club room. Although I have no SPG status, the SPG business credit card gives me access to all Sheraton club rooms. It may seem like a silly thing to get excited about, but after nearly two weeks of traveling, it was a pleasure to have constant access to water, diet coke, and fresh fruit, not to mention other snacks. Of course, the views didn’t hurt either.
pretty awesome view. when do we see the post about your upcoming trip to rio?

No Rio. Vietnam was instead of Rio. But I’m going to Arches National Park over Memorial Day. Next big trip will have to happen after the political cycle finishes.
