Vietnam’s Most Storied Hotel

Opened in 1901, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi reigns as the Grande Dame of Vietnamese hospitality and one of Southeast Asia’s most iconic hotels. The 358-room hotel’s historic Metropole Heritage Wing underwent an extensive and inspired refurbishment that was unveiled in January 2024. The wing features suites named after Charlie Chaplin, Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene, each of whom stayed at the property during their time in colonial Indochina. The hotel’s restaurants include Spice Garden (Vietnamese), Le Beaulieu (French) and angelina (European). Le Spa du Metropole, set in the hotel’s charming garden courtyard, sets a new standard for nostalgic elegance in Vietnam. In 2009, the hotel became the first in the Sofitel portfolio to acquire distinction as a ‘Legend’ hotel.
