Sofitel Metropole

Timeless icon of French elegance in the heart of Hanoi

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, a legendary hotel that has stood as a silent witness to over a century of history, diplomacy, and culture in Vietnam’s capital. Located just steps away from Hanoi’s Old Quarter and the serene Hoan Kiem Lake, this French colonial masterpiece is more than a place to stay - it’s a destination in itself.

The hotel features 364 rooms and suites, divided between the historical Heritage Wing and the contemporary Opera Wing. Each room is a blend of timeless elegance and modern comfort, with signature Sofitel MyBeds, marble bathrooms, and thoughtful touches that reflect the property’s storied past.

Guests can indulge in award-winning cuisine at six unique dining venues, including the legendary Le Beaulieu - the first French restaurant in Hanoi - and experience the atmospheric Bamboo Bar or sip cocktails at Angelina, the hotel’s haute-couture bar-lounge.

The Le Spa du Metropole, frequently listed among Asia’s best luxury spas, offers a tranquil escape with treatments combining French cosmetology and Eastern wellness traditions. Whether you’re lounging by the heated pool, enjoying afternoon tea in the garden courtyard, or exploring the Metropole Path of History beneath the hotel - your stay is steeped in charm, culture, and sophistication.

Ideal for heritage enthusiasts, couples, solo travelers, and lovers of timeless luxury, the Metropole is also a family-friendly property offering babysitting services, connecting rooms, and curated experiences for young guests.
