Choose this for a jacuzzi-style rooftop pool with sun loungers and panoramic views of St. Joseph's Cathedral and the Old Quarter. Access, floor and hours aren't published by the hotel.

The pool

The rooftop pool is in Hoan Kiem on Phố Nhà Chung. It is styled like a jacuzzi, with cool blue water and sun loungers beside it. The view covers St. Joseph's Cathedral and the Old Quarter.

Our take

Grand Hotel du Lac is a few doors from Anatole on the same street, and the two share the cathedral view. Anatole states that its pool is guests only; Grand Hotel du Lac doesn't, so a visit without a room is a gamble.

A bar close to the pool serves fresh drinks, but the hotel doesn't say it is on the roof or open to the public. The pool's depth, hours and floor aren't published either.

Good to know

  • Sun loungers beside the pool
  • Panoramic view of the cathedral and Old Quarter
  • Bar near the pool serves drinks

The catches
