Hanoi Hotels | A Night in a Golden Filter
❤️ I didn't have high expectations for this hotel initially, as the golden decor in the photos made me think it might be "over the top." But after checking in, I discovered it's a hotel with much more tranquility and quality than its appearance suggests. Here, gold isn't about showing off, but rather about a restrained sense of ceremony ✨
1️⃣ Rooftop Pool: A Still Water Above the City 🏊
The most surprising feature is the rooftop infinity pool. The water extends to the horizon, and standing by the pool, all of Hanoi seems to sink into a gentle mist. That moment is very quiet - the wind blowing against your dress, golden water tiles behind you, and the dense city skyline in front - like walking on the boundary between reality and dreams. I highly recommend wearing a long dress for photos by the pool - almost every shot turns out perfect 📸
2️⃣ Space Design: Gold Can Be Restrained 🏨
From the lobby to the spiral staircase, gold elements are used throughout, but without any "nouveau riche" feeling. The black wrought iron railings, vintage picture frames, and off-white walls create the perfect balance. Walking up those stairs, I could almost hear movie soundtrack music - giving the illusion of being transported to a European palace.
The gold here doesn't make you look up in awe, but quietly surrounds you.
3️⃣ Evening Time: City and Sky Performing Together 🌃
Returning to the pool in the evening, the sky gradually changes from gray-blue to light pink, with distant buildings lighting up and traffic flowing like a stream of light. The city remains bustling, but standing high above, your heart can't help but become peaceful. ☁️
4️⃣ Summary: Perfect for Slowing Down and Taking Photos ❤️
Dolce isn't the type of trendy hotel that goes viral on social media, but it has its own rhythm and texture. It's suitable for doing nothing but watching the city slowly light up; it's also perfect for dressing up nicely and taking beautiful photos to capture life's highlight moments.
If Intercontinental is a low-key gentleman, Dolce is like a woman in a golden gown standing at the theater staircase - elegant, silent, yet with a touch of dramatic tension. Wyndham Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake Hotel
