The Sofitel Metropole, a French colonial building, has stood proudly in the heart of Hanoi since 1901.

With 364 rooms and suites spread over two wings, the hotel houses three stylish restaurants offering a French-style brasserie to Vietnamese specialities and cocktail bars with rustic food alongside huge collections of whiskies and traditional teas. Sit by the courtyard pool and enjoy a light lunch, taking a welcome rest from exploring Vietnam’s vibrant capital city.

Why we like Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

For its fluttering ceiling fans and colonial style steamer chairs, the Sofitel Metropole it is just the spot to sip a Gin Fizz and watch the fascinating city of Hanoi pass by.

Facilities

  • Unwind by the peaceful pool
  • Treat yourself to Sunday brunch at Le Beaulieu or pastries at La Terrasse
  • Listen to jazz at the Le Club Bar
  • Upgrade to an Opera Wing suite with club benefits

Activities

Explore the city using the Metropole as your base. Just a stone’s throw from the main sites of the Opera House and traditional Old Quarter makes this legendary hotel the perfect spot for exploring exciting Hanoi. For some downtime sit by the pool or take advantage of the spa.

The app was great and really useful whilst we were away. The information on tipping was perfect, we are never sure what to do in different countries so we just followed its advice. We have loved both the holidays we have booked through Steppes.

Vietnam

We could not have arranged this holiday to such a high standard without Steppes. The drivers must be some of the best I have ever encountered and both guides we had were superb, the service was impeccable and I doubt I could add any improvements.

Vietnam

Paul's knowledge and expertise was invaluable when planning this trip. I told him where we wanted to go and the sort of hotels and things we wanted to do and everything was spot on - more than we ever expected! We will definitely be using Steppes Travel for future trips.
