 Government Guesthouse
About Government Guesthouse
The Government Guesthouse is a building in Hanoi built in the French architectural style. This elegant building is located on Ngo Quyen Street, a short distance from the Sofitel Metropole Hotel.
The Government Guesthouse was formerly the Residence of the French Governor of Tonkin. Tonkin is the historical name for northern Vietnam. Today it is used as the guesthouse for VIP visitors of the Vietnamese government. The Vietnamese government is in the midst of plans to convert the guesthouse into a 5-Star hotel. The ultra-luxurious hotel complex will use a three-storey ministry building as its lobby, including restaurants and meeting rooms. A five-storey 250-room wing will then be added behind the ministry building. There will be underground parking, manicured lawns and state-of-the-art video-conferencing facilities, all house in the elegant French colonial setting.
Getting there
Government Guesthouse has its front facing Ngo Quyen Street. If you are coming from Ho Hoan Kiem, you can reach it by passing through Indira Gandhi Park.
