Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Nice and cool place. Cozy and great experience on my stay in this hotel. recommended!!! loved it with all of it's details

I had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. The interior has a beautiful classic French charm, and the hotel is ideally located in an active and safe neighborhood. It’s close to shopping areas, transportation, and major tourist attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the service was exceptional. Breakfast was also a wonderful, with a great variety of delicious options to choose from. I would highly recommend this hotel!

If you're going to Hanoi stay here. I booked this hotel through our Amex Centurion card and we received an upgrade on check-in to a room on the Club Floor. The Club Floor was amazing. They have an afternoon tea and a happy hour every day. We spent the very warm mornings shopping and touring and then we would come back go for a swim and go to tea and happy hour and then on to dinner. Because we had a club room we had a staff member assigned to our room. Our major domo Hugh was incredibly helpful. He was there to answer any questions and make sure that our stay was going well. He had restaurant and shopping recommendations. I needed to get a skirt that I had make in Hoi An altered and they recommended a seamstress. The location of the hotel is amazing right next to the old quarter and some very nice shopping. We did the bomb shelter tour and that was very interesting. We also booked a half day Hanoi City tour through the hotel and that was very good as well. We had a fabulous trip to Vietnam, but this hotel was definitely one of the highlights and the service really could not be improved upon.

My daughter and I traveled to Asia, an Hanoi was on our agenda. We could not have been happier with Hotel Sofitel Legend Metropole. The hotel is beautiful and the service was beyond spectacular. There were so many smiling faces! The club room services I can highly recommend. We enjoyed dining while listening to live music, and we were really benefited by the special touches the hotel offered. The concierge service was top notch and helped us arrange tours. I can't say enough and would highly recommend.

My mum who is a senior was my travel companion for 6 nights on our maiden trip to Viet Nam. It was our first time at the Metropole Hà Nội and boy, are we glad to have picked this one over the Capella. Having said that, to be fair we have no direct experience with the Capella which is just across the road- this is based more on a gut feeling than anything else. The property itself is deeply steeped in history and has the perfect vibes to capture the core essence of Indochine. The service standards of the Metropole are impeccable making a panoply of delights available at a moment’s notice. The hotel GM is blessed with a fine crew at his disposal. The Metropole’s people are by far, its greatest asset. We stayed in a Grand Premium room in the Opera Wing on the top Club floor ( 7th floor) with access to the Club Lounge and the exquisite Majordome butler service on tap, 24/7. The original Heritage wing exudes a charm and elegance which would not seem out of place in the Palace wing of the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai or the Breakers of Palm Beach, Fl. The food is exquisite notably, in “Le Beaulieu” - the French diner and I strongly recommend the Dover sole & the Canadian blue lobster on flambé. Apparently, they are very proud of their wine selection but we preferred staying dry that evening. Equally, Angelina the Bar and the Vietnamese speciality restaurant- Spice Garden are both delightful and pack quite a punch. The hotel property is senior friendly with a few wrinkles here and there but on balance, is manageable for seniors with traveling companions in tow. About the only downside for a hotel this size is their minuscule temperature controlled pool which is as big or as small as the pool in your villa back home. Location wise, you cannot ask for a better one- it’s within easy reach of the Hoan Kiem lake with its many ‘splendored weekend wonders’. The hotel offers a complimentary tour of the bunker near the Bamboo bar which was put to good use in the Hanoi Christmas Eve bombings during America’s notorious war in Viet Nam. The hotel historian regales you with all manner of anecdotes and a bunch of fun facts on this tour and don’t forget there is complimentary lemonade awaiting you in the Bamboo bar. It would be remiss of us not to give a shout out to (in no particular order: Duck, Maya, Mia, Howard, Hoa, Chwang, Luke and of course, the effervescent young lad- Mikey 🙌 all of whom went out of their way to serve us, and to make our stay with them, comfortable. As a footnote I must admit (even now after exiting Viet Nam) we cannot stop thinking about their floral arrangements on proud display in the Heritage wing. All in all, great VFM I would say.
