Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

על המקום הזה Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

The Sofitel Legend Metropole is the most famous hotel in Vietnam and one of the great colonial-era hotels of Asia. Operating since 1901 in a white neoclassical building on the edge of the French Quarter near Hoan Kiem Lake, the Metropole has housed Graham Greene (who set scenes from The Quiet American here), Charlie Chaplin, and a succession of heads of state and cultural figures across more than a century of Vietnamese history. The restored Legends Wing, in the original 1901 building, is among the most atmospheric places to stay in Southeast Asia. For LGBTQ+ travelers, the Metropole provides what the best international luxury hotels always provide: a professional, unambiguously welcoming environment where the quality of the stay does not depend on who you are traveling with. The Sofitel brand's global service standards mean same-sex couples are treated with complete professional normalcy, and the hotel's international clientele ? diplomats, executives, cultural figures from across the world ? creates a social environment in the public spaces that is cosmopolitan and open. The setting is unbeatable for exploring Hanoi. Hoan Kiem Lake is immediately adjacent, the Old Quarter is a few minutes' walk north, and the French Quarter's boulevards are the immediate neighborhood. The hotel's own restaurants include Le Beaulieu, the finest French restaurant in Vietnam, and Spices Garden, an excellent Vietnamese restaurant. The Bamboo Bar, with its terrace, is one of the best settings in the city for an early evening drink. The pool, in a garden courtyard, is a rare luxury in central Hanoi. The spa is comprehensive. The concierge team is knowledgeable about both Hanoi's history and its current cultural and social life and will assist with all requests without reservation. For LGBTQ+ visitors who want to experience Hanoi at its most beautiful ? the colonial city, the lake, the extraordinary food, and the complex layered history ? the Metropole is the accommodation that matches that ambition.
