Description
Dating back to 1901, the Sofitel Metropole is without doubt Hanoi's colonial classic -- with a grandeur and timeless charm unmatched in the city. Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene and even Jane Fonda have padded their way through the hotel's polished wooden corridors and lounged in the lovely, atmospheric rooms. The hotel built a new second building in 1996 and while the rooms in the Opera Wing are quite attractive, if you're going to stay at the Metropole, then stay in the original Metropole Wing -- the old building is worth every single (extra) penny it will cost. Within the Metropole Wing, the Classic Deluxe category is the most popular -- be sure to specify a room with a view as some don't offer much of one. Excellent for a romantic getaway, long sleep-in and breakfast in bed. Very knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
