The renowned Sofitel Metropole Hanoi hotel in Vietnam recently became the first hotel worldwide in the Sofitel portfolio to be branded under the French hotel group’s new signature brand - Legend.

Markland Blaiklock, Senior Vice President, Sofitel Asia Pacific, said, “The new Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is the first in a collection of legendary addresses around the world that define our “living heritage” and palace hotels. These historical gems will each be the leading hotel in their respective destination, have rich décor and surroundings and truly outstanding service, such as Clefs d'Or concierges, butlers and personalized service throughout the hotel.”

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has undergone an extensive renovation and restoration process in order for it to achieve its place as the world’s first “Sofitel Legend”.

Spices Garden, with its pleasant location overlooking the hotel’s garden terrace, sets the trend for Vietnamese cuisine in the city. Meanwhile, a third, brand new restaurant, Angelina, serves contemporary Italian food in an up-to-the-minute setting and, with its resident DJ, is now firmly established as one the of the city’s hotspots.

Guests can also enjoy the hotel’s Club Bar for a taste of the finest wines with jazz music, the colourful and relaxing Bamboo Bar by the pool, or La Terrasse, which is designed to emulate Parisian cafés.
