The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has seen many famous faces tread its elegant lobby through the years; there are rooms named after prestigious former guests such as Charlie Chaplin, Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene, whose time in Hanoi helped inspire his 1955 novel The Quiet American. The hotel’s opulent, neoclassical architecture harks back to Vietnam’s spell under French colonial rule, and it immediately became a Hanoi landmark when it opened its doors in the early 20th- century. Since then, its status has only grown, becoming the first Sofitel Legend Hotel in 2009, a title reserved only for properties of stately heritage in some of the world’s most iconic cities. Stepping into the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is like stepping back in time: from glittering chandeliers and grand ballrooms through to gleaming marble hallways and elegant restaurants, every inch of this luxurious property evokes the Vietnam of a bygone era. Stay in a collection of rooms whose interiors blend French colonial design with traditional Vietnamese aesthetics; indulge in an eclectic mix of cuisines and creative cocktails at a Vietnamese restaurant, a multi-award-winning French restaurant and a variety of bars; unwind with a soothing ritual at a tranquil onsite spa; and spend some time floating in the outdoor swimming pool. When you’ve explored this lavish landmark to your heart’s content, Hanoi’s teeming streets, rich culture and fascinating historical sites await.
