A new chapter at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi

Luxury heritage hotel, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, has re-opened its Heritage Wing after extensive renovations. The 123-year old hotel has 358 rooms that are divided into two wings – the historical Heritage Wing and the neo-classical Opera Wing.

The hotel’s Opera Wing has 236 guest rooms, 18 suites and one Grand Prestige Suite, and a Club Lounge, whilst the Heritage Wing comprises 54 Luxury rooms, 40 Grand Luxury rooms, six Metropole suites and three Legendary suites. Six pairs of connecting rooms have been transformed into new suites, featuring a master bedroom, a parlour area and a living room with a sofa bed.

The Heritage Wing has played host to heads of state and royalty, and world-renowned actors, writers and musicians . Under the project, about 60% of the wooden floors in guest rooms were either refurbished or replaced; bathrooms were enhanced with all-new Italian marble surfaces and floors, and new bathtubs and showers; hand-tufted carpets were installed in guest rooms and corridors; and rooms were outfitted with new furniture and upholstery.

Guest rooms have new IPTV, sound bars, three-mode mood lighting, aircon and control systems, along with individual Wi-fi routers in guest rooms and corridors.

“The timeless feel of the Heritage Wing has been carefully preserved and enhanced, offering guests an even more sophisticated, elegant and luxurious environment. It embodies a seamless transition from the past to the future, creating a profound feeling of place and warmth, with an interplay of tradition, comfort, modernism and authenticity,” Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi GM, George Koumendakos, said.
