Sat in Hanoi, Vietnam the Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake hotel is truly a thing of beauty both inside and out thanks to the rich and glossy golds.
Almost impossible to miss, the hotel sits on a street corner in bustling Hanoi overlooking the picturesque Giang Vo Lake.
Standing at 25 golden stories, the hotel has 400 rooms all with one pretty consistent theme – gold everywhere you look.
But such elegance and beauty can’t be rushed as the hotel took a whopping 11-years to build.
From the moment you step through the grand entrance doors you’re met with a whiff of wealth from the glad-plated handles and shimmering front desk.
One of the most breathtaking spots in the entire mega complex is the swimming pool.
The 200sqft infinity pool overlooks the Hanoi city skyline all as you stand and splash about on the 24-carat gold tiles.
After a swim, guests can enjoy a decadent buffet served on golden plates, using golden cutlery from golden trays.
And the food is even gold.
Tomahawk steaks wrapped in gold is the obvious stand out but everywhere else possible on the menu the helpful staff will sprinkle golden flakes over your grub.
Often dubbed southeast Asia’s most luxurious hotel, the Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake boasts a number of flashy suites all with stunning city views.
Prices start at £250 a night for the most basic rooms – still kitted out in gold – to the ridiculously extravagant £800-a-night executive suites.
Owner, Nguyen Huu Duong couldn’t be more thrilled with his prized establishment.
According to The Blend, Mr Duong wants his hotel to be “the most luxurious in the world”.
The official hotel website says: “We aim to transform every moment with our guests into extraordinary opportunity to inspire them.
“Whatever you need to enhance your stay – to create, to innovate, to learn, or to grow – let us be your muse.”
