Government Guesthouse is another example of the elegant French architecture that populates the city of Hanoi, Vietnam. It is located on Ngo Quyen Street, a short distance from the Sofitel Metropole Hotel.

The Government Guesthouse was formerly the Residence of the French Governor of Tonkin. Tonkin is the historical name for northern Vietnam. Today it is used as the guesthouse for VIP visitors of the Vietnamese government.

The Vietnamese government is in the midst of plans to convert the guesthouse into a 5-Star hotel. The ultra-luxurious hotel complex will use a three-storey ministry building as its lobby, including restaurants and meeting rooms. A five-storey 250-room wing will then be added behind the ministry building. There will be underground parking, manicured lawns and state-of-the-art video-conferencing facilities, all house in the elegant French colonial setting.
