The beautiful French-colonial style Sofitel Metropole is located in the heart of Hanoi only minutes walk from the vibrant Old Quarter of town. Sofitel Metropole wonderfully combines old and new with its colonial style rooms in the old wing and the contemporary rooms in the new wing. A spa and outdoor pool makes this the perfect retreat in the centre of Hanoi. After a day visiting museums, bartering in the shops and visiting Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, relax in a rattan armchair at the poolside bar Bamboo while sipping a signature cocktail. Enjoy an exquisite Vietnamese dinner at Spices Garden Restaurant in the courtyard, or sample the best French cuisine in town at Le Beaulieu.
