Hotel information
The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is something of a landmark in the Vietnamese capital, an iconic building steeped in local history since 1901. Close to the Opera House of the French Quarter, it’s a true taste of times past; with timeless refinement at every turn. Dining is an experience in itself, from the French cuisine at Le Beaulieu to the courtyard dining of the Spices Garden Restaurant.
Located in the French Quarter and only meters from the Opera House the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi shows visitors a view of opulence and cultural diversity from another time. The colonial history of the building is evident in the shutters, details forged from iron and wood panelling but also from its courtyard and walkways.
Luminaries of the past such as Charlie Chaplin and Graham Greene have all experienced the hotel's grand interior and impeccable service and guests of today can catch a glimpse of the Indo China of old by enjoying the French and Asian therapies at the hotel's spa.
The hotel is well known for its dining experience as the best restaurants in Hanoi are located in the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. French cuisine can be enjoyed at Le Beaulieu, Italian inspired delights at Angelina and Asian cuisine at Spices Garden.
