Hanoi is a sprawling city, but the vast majority of visitors mostly stay within the Old Quarter of the city. This area spreads west and north of Hoan Kiem Lake and contains most of the major sights in town. Bustling yet charming by day, it turns into the city’s main nightlife hub when the sun sets, packed with street food stalls and bar terraces.
Most of our recommended Hanoi gay-friendly hotels are in this area. There is something for every budget and taste, from grandiose colonial 5-star luxury to modern boutique vibes.
Culturally most hotels in Hanoi could be described as gay-friendly although legally there is a lack of anti-discrimination protections. As a visitor, it is highly unlikely you will be anything but welcome, and you should have no trouble checking into rooms as a gay couple.
It is worth noting that overt public displays of affection are frowned upon in Vietnamese society, even between opposite-sex couples. Holding hands is fine, but anything more than that might be considered rude.
Most gay visitors book hotels in the Old Quarter as it’s home to most of Hanoi’s tourist attractions and limited gay nightlife.
