	Our Name: Long ago, Hanoi had another name, “Thang Long” or “Rising Dragon.” King Ly Thai To traveled to the area, praised for its favorable location between mountains and the Red River. The Ly king witnessed a beautiful golden dragon rising up into heaven and decided to establish his capital here in the year 1010. During his reign, Vietnam art and culture flourished, business and agriculture developed rapidly, and the Vietnamese people enjoyed an era of prosperity. Our hotel reflects the same optimism and pride of that long-ago era . Let us show you what the Rising Dragon can offer!
