Marking a landmark moment in its storied journey since 1901, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi proudly unveils its 125th anniversary celebration, honouring a timeless heritage while embracing the future. Presented under the theme “125 Years of a Legend,” this milestone reflects the hotel’s timeless elegance, French art de vivre, as well as an iconic status as a living legend.
Throughout 2026, the hotel will present a thoughtfully curated programme of immersive, one-of-a-kind experiences – bringing together culture, artistry, entertainment, gastronomy, and hospitality to elevate experiential luxury in Hanoi.
Inspired by the Metropole’s rich legacy and guided by Sofitel Legend’s defining values, the celebration unfolds across four distinctive chapters.

Reside where our most illustrious residents once stayed.
Our three storied Legendary Suites hold the secrets of Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 honeymoon along with the literary inspirations of Graham Greene – who immortalised the hotel in his famous novel “The Quiet American” – and Somerset Maugham with his travel memoir “The Gentleman in the Parlour.”
Within these iconic walls, close your eyes and listen closely to the whispers of history.

Inspired by ancestral Oriental rites and the Metropole’s 125 years of timeless elegance, “Sensations Orientales” – our exclusive, specially-curated 90-minute ritual – invites guests on a sensory journey where Eastern traditions meet French refinement.
