Five Star West Lake: A Limited-Edition Luxury Living Icon at West Lake, Hanoi
Five Star West Lake is not just a conventional luxury apartment project, but a new definition of “boutique luxury” living in the heart of Hanoi. Developed by GFS Group, the project is located in a prime position along West Lake, Thuy Khue Ward, Tay Ho District. With only 32 exclusive residential units, Five Star West Lake aims to create a refined elite community where each residence is a unique masterpiece, reflecting sophistication, elegance, and the exclusive lifestyle of its owners.
In a market where luxury real estate around West Lake is increasingly scarce and highly valued, Five Star West Lake stands out as a remarkable highlight. Built on a 2,665 m² land plot with a low construction density of only 30%, the project ensures spacious, airy, and highly private living spaces.
Prime “Diamond” Location in the Heart of Hanoi
Location is always the most important factor determining real estate value, especially in the luxury segment. Five Star West Lake is situated at 162 Hoang Hoa Tham Street (also accessed via Alley 167 Thuy Khue), Thuy Khue Ward, Tay Ho District, Hanoi. This is a strategic intersection between two major roads—Thuy Khue and Hoang Hoa Tham—while also being adjacent to the historic Ba Dinh area.
From this golden location, residents can enjoy the fresh atmosphere of West Lake and easily access key amenities and cultural landmarks of the city:
- Only 150m from West Lake, offering beautiful views and fresh air.
- Around 700m to major healthcare facilities such as the Central Lung Hospital.
- Approximately 900m to green spaces like Bach Thao Park.
- Within 1km of top schools including Chu Van An High School, Ba Dinh Secondary School, and Hoang Hoa Tham Secondary School.
- Close to major landmarks such as Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square (1.5km), and Tran Quoc Pagoda (1.8km).
Located between Tay Ho and Ba Dinh districts, the project offers excellent connectivity to major inner-city routes such as Ring Road 1, Ring Road 2, Lac Long Quan – Van Cao axis, and Au Co – Nghi Tam route.
Infrastructure Planning and Growth Potential
Beyond its current prime location, Five Star West Lake also benefits from future infrastructure developments under the Tay Ho and surrounding areas urban planning (A1 zone). These improvements are expected to significantly enhance connectivity and increase property value.
Hoang Hoa Tham Street is planned to be expanded to 53.5 meters, helping reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. Additionally, a new connecting road between Thuy Khue and Hoang Hoa Tham—extending toward Kim Ma—will be developed right next to the project. These infrastructure upgrades not only enhance accessibility but also reinforce the long-term investment value of Five Star West Lake.
