BEST WAYS TO ENJOY HANOI THIS TẾT, LUNAR NEW YEAR  02:23, 22/01/2026

Tet carries a beauty uniquely its own: unhurried, tranquil, yet full of quiet vitality. As the city slows down, traffic thins, and the spirit of spring gently weaves through familiar streets, many families choose to celebrate the Lunar New Year with a peaceful staycation right in the heart of the capital. Overlooking the poetic West Lake, with expansive open spaces and experiences thoughtfully curated for the festive season, Sheraton Hanoi Hotel introduces its signature staycation package – Tết Side By Side, offering a Tet holiday that is warm enough for meaningful reunions and refreshing enough to rediscover the joy of togetherness. Families and groups of friends may consider planning their stay during the ideal period from January 7 to February 22, 2026.

Tết Side By Side - A Tet of Togetherness

Inspired by the spirit of reunion during Tet, the Tết Side By Side package presents a well-balanced holiday that blends restful relaxation with authentic Hanoi experiences. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a Tet-themed gift inspired by Hanoi – a refined New Year greeting that sets the tone for serene days by West Lake.

Each morning begins at an unhurried pace with a breakfast buffet at Oven D’or Restaurant, where traditional flavours meet contemporary culinary touches in the early days of the new year. As evening falls, families or groups of friends gather around a lavish buffet overflowing with the rich flavors of Tet, where stories of the new year are shared in a warm and intimate atmosphere. Between these moments, guests can unwind at the Lobby Lounge – an open, light-filled space adjacent to the main lobby and overlooking a lush garden - perfect for enjoying a leisurely drink while embracing the rare, slow rhythm of Hanoi during Tet.

A distinctive highlight of the Tết Side By Side package lies in its thoughtfully designed journey of exploration. Every weekend, guests can enjoy a complimentary one-way shuttle service to Hanoi’s Old Quarter, offering the opportunity to stroll through the iconic 36 streets, immerse themselves in the traditional Tet atmosphere, and discover long-standing eateries, charming alleys, and the unmistakable rhythm of everyday Hanoi life.

Complementing this experience is “Hanoi Pulse”, a pocket-sized fold-out guide curated with care, featuring selected destinations, activities, and dining recommendations around West Lake and the Old Quarter. With Hanoi Pulse in hand, families and friends are free to create their own itineraries – a breezy morning walk around West Lake, an afternoon exploring the Old Quarter, or a quiet stop at a familiar café to experience Hanoi in its most authentic, Tet-inspired form.

Beyond outdoor exploration, the holiday becomes even warmer and more engaging with Hanoiology – a Monopoly-inspired board game uniquely designed around the theme of Hanoi’s 36 streets. Available complimentary at the Lobby Lounge, the game offers a gentle invitation for families and friends to gather, play, and connect in a relaxed setting overlooking the hotel’s verdant garden.

Through turns that recreate the city’s iconic streets – from the familiar Old Quarter lanes to landmarks deeply woven into Hanoi’s daily life – Hanoiology presents a fun and approachable way to explore the city. More than a game, it sparks conversations, bridges generations, and allows guests to truly embrace the slow, reflective rhythm that defines the Tet holiday.

The experience is further enhanced with the privilege of early check-in or late check-out (subject to availability), offering added flexibility and ensuring that every moment of rest feels complete and unhurried.
