The guests have a busy itinerary exploring Hanoi and seeing iconic sites like the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Temple of Literature, and the Hoa Lo Prison.
Thu also said the hotel made extensive preparations to serve the group, including room arrangements and crafting a special menu focusing on authentic Indian dishes, whose ingredients were carefully selected and imported directly from India to design and reflect various regions, flavors, and culinary styles.
The hotel also included Vietnamese dishes in the breakfast buffet to introduce international guests to the Vietnamese palate.
