CBD

Why pick this area of Hanoi?

The Central Business District of Hanoi covers Hoan Kiem and part of Hai Ba Trung Districts. This area has the highest proportion of high-grade commercial buildings, making it extremely appealing for all types of businesses. 

Amenities

Bars and lunch spots are numerous, with an impressive amount of offerings for both traditional Vietnamese and Western Cuisine in and nearby the Old Quarter. The area becomes especially vibrant in the weekends, when the main streets surrounding Hoan Kiem Lake are opened for pedestrians. 

Transport Links

It is a well-connected area, with many of the city's attractions and shopping venues located in close proximity to each other. Whilst the local population typically gets around the city on moterbikes, public transportation is developing in terms of its quality and convenience, making it increasingly easy to travel around the city. 

Midtown

What does this area of Hanoi have to offer?

The Midtown area of Hanoi includes Ba Dinh and Dong Da Districts, in which Hanoi’s offices of administration, embassies, and logistic and insurance companies are located in high density. One of the primary benefits of this area is centrality, offering good access to both the CBD and the West.

The central Midtown is home to many of the historical and landmark sights within Hanoi. For example, the Vincom Ceter Pham Ngoc Thach, Lotte Centre Hanoi, the National Cinema, the Military Aerospace Museum and so on.

The West

The West of Hanoi, also known as the new CBD, is an up and coming area both in terms of commercial and residential offerings.
