Sofitel Metropole Hotel, Hanoi
Author: Anothertravelguide.com
A legendary landmark of Hanoi, Sofitel Metropole Hotel, is the oldest and most prestigious hotel in the city. It is housed in a beautiful neo-classicism style building, dating back over 100 years of history, while its guest-list boasts stars like Charlie Chaplin, Jane Fonda and John McCain. A massive restoration project was finished in 1991, and now, like an elegant grand dame, Sofitel proudly enjoys its special status in the very heart of Hanoi's French Quarter. Splendor and finery surrounds its guests, starting from luxury shops, sited in one wing, and a superb opera house view, opening up from the other. The new, contemporary designed Opera Wing was opened in 1996, yet if you wish to enjoy the true charm of the place, be sure to stay in the old one. Encircled by colonial style nostalgia, it allures to immerse yourself into languid contemplation of eternal values.
