Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Honored Among Asia’s Top City Hotels

In a notable accolade for its rich heritage and exceptional hospitality, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has been recognized as one of Asia’s 20 best city hotels in Travel + Leisure magazine’s prestigious “World’s Best Awards” for 2024.

Situated in Vietnam’s capital, the 123-year-old luxury hotel stands as a beacon of elegance and cultural significance. Only one of two hotels in Vietnam to earn a place on this esteemed list, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi secured its position through votes from over 186,000 Travel + Leisure readers.

General Manager George Koumendakos expressed his gratitude, noting the award’s significance in a transformative year marked by the successful relaunch of the Heritage Wing. This milestone follows a meticulous 21-month refurbishment, enhancing 103 guest rooms and suites with a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, including advanced technology and vibrant aesthetics.

Recognitions such as being named one of the “World’s 500 Best Hotels” by Travel + Leisure and achieving a Five-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide for the fifth consecutive year underscore the hotel’s commitment to excellence. Further acclaim from DestinAsian magazine as one of Vietnam’s top city hotels in 2024 highlights its enduring appeal and dedication to culinary innovation.

Adding to its allure, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi introduced the ‘Rendez-vous’ dining series earlier this year at its renowned restaurant Le Beaulieu. This series showcases collaborative menus crafted by Michelin-star guest chefs alongside Chef de Cuisine Charles Degrendele, offering guests unparalleled gastronomic experiences.

As the hotel continues to set new benchmarks in luxury and hospitality, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi remains a symbol of timeless elegance and a cornerstone of Hanoi’s vibrant cultural landscape.
