Description

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is a historic luxury hotel located in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. The hotel was designed by French architects André Ducamp and Gustave-Émile Dumoutier. It quickly became a prominent social hub for the colonial elite. Following Vietnamese independence in the 1950s, the hotel was renamed “Thong Nhat Hotel,” meaning "Reunification Hotel". It served as the official guesthouse for the Vietnamese government. During the Vietnam War, the hotel constructed a bomb shelter to protect guests from air raids. This shelter was rediscovered in 2011 and is now part of the hotel’s historical tours. In 1987, the Vietnamese government restored the hotel. It has since been recognized as a member of Historic Hotels Worldwide and continues to be a symbol of Hanoi’s heritage.

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is divided into two distinct wings, each offering a unique experience:

  • Historical Metropole Wing : This wing retains the original French colonial architecture and ambiance from when the hotel first opened in 1901. The rooms are decorated with period furnishings and fixtures, offering a nostalgic journey back in time.
  • Contemporary Opera Wing: Opened in 1996, this wing offers a more contemporary design while still maintaining the elegance and sophistication associated with the Metropole. Guests staying in the Opera Wing have access to the Club Lounge, which provides exclusive services and a more personalized experience.

Both wings are connected by the hotel’s lush courtyard and gardens, creating a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. 

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi offers a variety of dining and drinking options: 

  • Le Beaulieu: Known for its gastronomic excellence, impeccable service, and exceptional wines. It has been a culinary landmark since 19011.
  • Spice Garden: Celebrates the rich heritage of Vietnamese cuisine with a focus on traditional flavors and fresh ingredients.
  • Angelina: A cocktail bar, whisky lounge, and restaurant offering a blend of classic and modern dishes, along with an extensive whisky collection.
