Ten rooftop hotels have made it onto Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice list for 2021, with many boasting standout features such as infinity pools and breathtaking city-scape views.

The winners were determined by an algorithm that analysed properties tagged with ‘rooftop bar’ or ‘rooftop terrace’ on Tripadvisor – along with the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings that mention ‘rooftop’ (as well as its synonyms), the Metro UK reported.

Hanoi La Siesta Diamond Hotel in Hanoi has taken first place on Tripadvisor World’s Top Rooftop Hotels list – and with jaw-dropping skyline views, it’s easy to see why.

The hotel, located on Lo Su Street to the east of the Old Quarter, is only a short walk from Hoan Kiem (Sword) Lake.

One reviewer said: ‘The sky bar is a must visit with the scenic city – probably the best place to enjoy a sun-downer. Lots of corners for taking photos, and the bar itself is worth being photographed.’

Hanoi La Siesta Hotel & Spa was placed second among the world's top 25 based on traveler recommendation of the Trip Advisors Traveler’s Choice Best of the Best Awards 2020.

2. La Sinfonia del Rey Hotel and Spa (Hang Dau Street, Hanoi)

The resort is near the Tam Coc – Bich Dong area, part of the Trang An Landscape Complex UNESCO heritage site, which is home to the ancient capital of Hoa Lu during the reign of the Dinh Dynasty (968-980 CE).

2021 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Hotel winners are determined based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews and ratings posted on Tripadvisor between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 specific to each award subcategory, as well as an additional editorial process.

According to a recent Tripadvisor survey, about 45 percent of Americans are planning to travel internationally this year, and 64 percent are planning to stay in a hotel this year.

“As the world gears up for a busier summer travel season, Tripadvisor's highly coveted Best of the Best Awards are here to help people discover spectacular places to stay as they start planning their long-awaited next trip,” said Lindsay Nelson, chief experience and brand officer at Tripadvisor. “From tropical bungalows in the Caribbean to scenic safari lodges in Africa, this year’s winners span six continents and 83 countries — plenty of options to cover any type of trip travelers are craving.”
