OVERVIEW
Vietnam’s first officially accredited five-star property,
the Hotel Sofitel Metropole Hanoi is an award-winning
French colonial-style hotel lying in the heart of Hanoi,
near Hoan Kiem Lake and the magnificent Opera House.
Boasting
a classical white façade, green shutters, original wrought
iron detail, wood paneling and a lush courtyard lawn,
the hotel is one of the region’s few remaining hotels
of its era.
Built at
the turn of the century 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, and during and after the war years
it became a base for press and diplomats.
90 years
after it had risen so gloriously from the swamps of
ancient Hanoi, the Thong Nhat Hotel was closed for the
face-lift of the century. Under the first phase, the
existing hotel was refurbished over an eighteen-month
period and reopened in March 1992, again called Hotel
Metropole. The second phase started in 1994 when work
commenced on the 135-room Opera Wing, and the four-storey
Metropole Center office tower above it, both of which
opened in late 1996.
The hotel
guest list over the past years has included the Presidents
of USA, of France, of Switzerland and of the Republic
of Togo, the Prince of Monaco, 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 big business delegations such as the World Presidents
Organisation, the Asia Leaders Forum as well as famous
people like Catherine Deneuve, Charlie Chaplin, Jane
Fonda, Stephen Hawking, Oliver Stone, amongst others.
It also includes a host of corporate heavyweights and
to this day the hotel’s bars remain a haunt for international
and local journalists wanting to pick up the latest
business news.
A 232-room
hotel with the choice of 2 restaurants, 3 bars, a swimming
pool and health club, Sofitel Metropole is an oasis
of charm in the heart of Hanoi, blending the legendary
hospitality of the Vietnamese people with the finest
facilities befitting it’s European heritage.
