“This hotel puts a genuine smile on your face – a dollop of pure luxury and welcome in a not-very-luxurious city. The original Hanoi "Grand Dame" with French Colonial style throughout. Various dining options and pampering spa. An oasis in the centre of frenetic Hanoi.”

Hotel Review
Born in 1901 as "une grande hotel" in the classic French style, the Metropole has taken to the 21st century with enthusiasm and great success. Every class of room is on offer. Even at the lower end rooms are an immaculate confection of mahogany, teak, white linens, great beds and generous bathrooms. The public areas are a stylish theatre – away from Hanoi’s mad rush; a quiet garden restaurant and bar in the bamboo colonial style, a pool, shops selling irresistible pastries and deli foods, smart restaurants for smart dining, and on the outside a French street café, with staff who are genuinely keen to make the weary survivor of Vietnam’s travel scene welcome and comfortable. No synthetic niceness here. There are a small number of hotels around the world that are worth a detour just to visit. The Metropole is one of them.
