The luxury boutique hotel operation, which includes the La Siesta hotel brand, La Siesta Spa and Red Bean restaurants, is opening the Diamond Sky Bar on the hotel’s 13th floor this summer. Undeniably, the group’s second and newest bar with a view is set to become one of the capital’s best rooftop destinations. A cool lounge bar with a creative design concept, awe-inspiring views of Hanoi’s skyline, great beverages and food will make it an influential player on Hanoi’s growing sophisticated bar scene.
A spiral staircase leads from the 12th floor Gourmet Corner restaurant to the first of three overlapping decks of stylish skylight bar space to create this intriguing split-level 13th floor rooftop. Three different sized and shaped terraces are set at angles to one another, crafted from glass, metal and wood complemented by a monochromatic color palette of black, dark granite and hints of cream, softened by the inclusion of trees, walls of plants and warm mood lighting at night.
The pièce de résistance is surely the eye catching second level resembling the profile of a grand piano, rising majestically above the outdoor bar and spacious open kitchen. These overhanging curves contrast with angular lines and straight edges, which define the overall look and feel of the bar. The choice of a grand piano also symbolizes the concept of elegance and luxury to which EHG aspires. The third section right at the top is designed as an exclusive space reserved for special and intimate occasions.
Sweeping views ofHoan Kiem Lake that defines Hanoi, the mighty Red River with at least five of its bridges – Nhat Tan, Long Bien, Chuong Duong, Vinh Tuy and Thanh Tri. On a clear day, Ba Vi Mountain-range (‘Lord of Mountains’) is clearly visible, while sections of Hanoi’s iconic colorful mosaic ceramic wall are in evidence along the Red River dyke road.
The Diamond Sky Bar will become the ideal place for late afternoons and balmy evenings, cool breezes and warm sunsets. Chill out lounge music will add a trendy vibe whilst enjoying some of the best cocktails, beers, spirits and fine wines in Hanoi.
