Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi stands in the French Quarter, a district of wide tree-lined streets, colonial buildings and cultural venues close to the Opera House. Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter are within reach on foot. It suits couples, history lovers and travellers who want a landmark address with a strong sense of the city's past.

One of Asia's finest historic hotels, it blends colonial architecture with refined service and a graceful, romantic atmosphere. A pool and spa add relaxation, and the lobby and courtyards invite lingering. Rooms differ between the heritage wing and more modern sections, each with its own character, so guests can choose between old-world charm and a contemporary feel.

The central location makes taxis and ride-hailing easy, and many sights can be reached on foot, although Hanoi's traffic and heat call for some care when crossing streets. Peak seasons in spring and autumn fill early, so reserve ahead. Check which wing your room category belongs to, since the experience differs between them.
