The Hotel Metropole Hanoi is an award-winning French colonial-style hotel lying in the heart of Hanoi, Vietnam. Built in 1901 by two private French investors, the hotel quickly became the rendez-vous point for colonial society in the first half of the century. Following Vietnamese independence in the 1950s, the new national government opted to maintain it as the official hotel for visiting VIP’s. During and after the war years, it became a base for press and diplomats.
The hotel guest list over the past years has included the Presidents of USA, of France, of Switzerland, the Prince of Monaco, of Denmark, of Sweden, the King of Malaysia, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, the Prime Ministers from Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, France, Canada, Nigeria, Norway and Vietnam, and important business delegations such as the World Presidents Organization, the Asia Leaders Forum, the 5th Asia-Europe Meeting, the APEC 2006 Leaders Week, as well as famous people like Catherine Deneuve, Charlie Chaplin, Jane Fonda, Stephen Hawking, Oliver Stone, Mick Jagger, Sir Roger Moore amongst others.
Christmas arrives at the hotel in the beginning of December, with thousands of bright white lights illuminating the hotel façade and interior garden. Hanoi’s highest pine tree, standing at 15 meters tall, is on display, bringing Christmas right to the heart of Hanoi. This year, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi combines the popular Western holiday with the exotic beauty of Sapa, a region in Northern Vietnam populated by ethnic minorities. Sapa represents mountains, beautiful people, colorful fabrics, nature and cold weather, creating a wonderful holiday spirit.
