Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi
There is something wonderfully timeless about arriving at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. Set in the heart of the French Quarter, the hotel has been welcoming distinguished guests since 1901 and remains one of the city’s most iconic addresses. Despite its central location, the Metropole feels like a peaceful retreat, with tree-lined courtyards and an atmosphere steeped in history.
The hotel beautifully blends French colonial elegance with contemporary luxury. Rooms and suites are refined and sophisticated, while the tranquil swimming pool, Le Spa du Metropole, and award-winning restaurants provide a welcome escape after a day exploring Hanoi.
A stay here can be as cultural or as indulgent as you choose, whether that’s wandering the charming streets of the Old Quarter, enjoying afternoon tea in the courtyard, or discovering the hotel’s fascinating wartime bunker.
