With a history spanning over a century, the historic Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi retains its enduring appeal, having been named one of the top 20 city hotels in Asia.
The World’s Best Awards is one of the most prestigious accolades in the hospitality industry. More than 186,000 readers of Travel + Leisure magazine participated in a survey to select top-quality hotels. In addition to criteria such as amenities and service, the magazine places significant emphasis on culinary and cultural experiences. Both Capella Hanoi and Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi earned a score of 96.6 out of 100—based on over 700,000 votes—securing their places on the list as Vietnam’s representatives.
The hotel comprises 364 guest rooms distributed across the Metropole and Opera wings. The rooms are harmoniously arranged between the historic Metropole wing—which preserves a magnificent, classic French aesthetic—and the Opera wing, a later addition built in a neoclassical style. All guest rooms feature signature Sofitel beds and Balmain bathroom amenities.
Interior Highlights
Located in the Metropole wing, the Luxury rooms showcase a 1920s French design style, characterized by lim wood flooring and polished dark mahogany furnishings. Meanwhile, the Grand Luxury rooms feature French-style décor and hardwood floors, distinguished by mood lighting and high-quality interiors. Additional touches include lustrous Vietnamese silk curtains and Victorian-style daybeds.
Furthermore, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has reopened its historic Heritage Wing following renovations. This was the first building inaugurated by the hotel in 1901, featuring 103 standard and premium guest rooms. The Heritage Wing has played host to numerous heads of state, actors, writers, and musicians.
The hotel’s culinary offerings are equally captivating. Options range from the Parisian-style La Terrasse café to the relaxed poolside Bamboo Bar; from the Vietnamese restaurant Vườn Hương Vị to the award-winning, classic French restaurant Le Beaulieu; and to angelina—a restaurant, cocktail bar, and whisky lounge serving European-inspired cuisine. Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi offers a wide array of choices to suit your tastes.
