If you’re planning an overseas trip for the future, you might want to look to our fellow Southeast Asian neighbour, Vietnam. The country’s capital, Hanoi, recently saw the opening of a new hotel that embodies the very definition of extravagance and luxury.

Now open for business is Dolce by Wyndham Hanoi Golden Lake—located at the centre of the city along Giang Vo Lake. The five-star hotel is also the first Dolce hotel in Asia. Built at a cost of about US$200 million (approximately RM852,119,000), it’s gold galore throughout the one-of-a-kind hotel. The 24-carat golden treatment is given to lobbies, an infinity pool, as well as rooms with splendid cutlery and cups. Even the toilet seats and shower heads received the Midas touch.
