Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi
Since 1901, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has welcomed statesmen, novelists, and Hollywood stars with timeless French colonial elegance and highly personalised service.
Occupying a prime corner in Hanoi's French Quarter, the Metropole blends Old World glamour with five-star amenities. Deeper than its white facade are two distinct wings: the Heritage Wing with period furnishings and the contemporary Opera Wing. Guests can book the hotel historian's Path of History tour to uncover the wartime bomb shelter hidden beneath the property.
Leisure highlights include the heated courtyard pool, award-winning Le Spa du Metropole with Clarins treatments, and a refined culinary scene spanning the legendary Le Beaulieu, Angelina cocktail bar, and Bamboo Bar for afternoon chocolate indulgence.
