After a long, harried day traversing Hanoi's deathtrap streets, head 20 floors up to the Summit Lounge at the Sofitel Plaza hotel. The sounds of traffic have faded, the sun is drooping from red to orange, and the server is waiting for your cocktail order. Drinks, snacks and desserts, with a view of Ho Tay (West Lake) and west Hanoi, is a fantastic way to end the day... well, ok, to get ready for dinner anyways. Open at 16:30.
