Rooftop Bar · Old Quarter · Hanoi
Lighthouse Sky Bar
Three ship styled decks above Hang Be street, with Hoan Kiem views and a half price sunset happy hour.
The Pitch
A Ship Moored Over the Old Quarter
Lighthouse Sky Bar tops the La Siesta Premium hotel at 27 Hang Be in Hanoi's Old Quarter, spread over the 10th and 11th floors plus an open terrace. The Rooftop Guide describes the design as a moored ship in three levels, and calls it one of a kind in Vietnam.
The view runs over Old Quarter rooftops to Hoan Kiem Lake and the river side of the skyline. Skybars.vn and Vietnam Travel both place it among Hanoi's best rooftops for 2026.
It is a hotel rooftop, so it trades street grit for polish: smart casual dress, planting everywhere, and cocktails at hotel prices rather than bia hoi prices.
The Room
Three Decks, One View
Three stacked decks with the open terrace on top, lounge seating and greenery below. Tripadvisor reviewers rate the view and the service well above the food, which stays average; treat the kitchen as a snack stop.
The Drinks
Land at Four, Leave After Dark
Come between 4pm and 6pm: the daily happy hour cuts 50 percent off drinks while the sun drops over the lake, per The Rooftop Guide. The cocktail list runs long with Vietnamese twists on classics; reviewers steer toward the cocktails and away from the dinner menu.
The Crowd
Sunset Dates, Late Mix
Hotel guests at sunset, then a mixed crowd of travelers and young Hanoi locals after dark. Smart casual holds all night; the room skews date night over party until the last hour.
What regulars say:
- The Rooftop Guide flags the moored ship design and the 4pm to 6pm half price window.
- Tripadvisor reviewers praise staff and views while marking the food down.
- Skybars.vn lists 4pm to midnight daily hours and calls the lake angle the Old Quarter's best.
Who it is for:
- Sunset on a first night in Hanoi
- Date night above the Old Quarter noise
- Avoid if you want street level Hanoi; this is the polished version
The Verdict
Where It Lands
The Old Quarter's best sunset seat for the money. Land at 4pm sharp, take the terrace rail, and leave when the city lights come up.
