AN ENCHANTING TET AT SOFITEL LEGEND METROPOLE HANOI

A go-to destination during Tet is Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, offering an immersive experience into the heart of Vietnamese culture and its festive spirit.

Metropole Hanoi will operate as usual throughout the holiday season, including the especially busy days of Tet this year – from 16 to 20 February 2026 – ensuring an extraordinary and welcoming journey for all guests.

ACTIVITY PROGRAMME

Metropole Tet Space

Bidding farewell to an eventful Year of the Snake, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi warmly ushers in the Year of the Horse with a captivating programme of festive celebrations and immersive cultural experiences.

From a lively lion dance, a dry puppetry show and a ca trù performance to a traditional painting exhibition and hands-on workshops such as chung cake making, wood-block printing, and daffodil bulb trimming – the Metropole Tet Space offers a journey to discover the richness and beauty of Vietnamese heritage, history, and traditions, all within a joyful, spirited Tet atmosphere.

A premier highlight is the “Reawakening Liễn” series, celebrating the revival of Hue’s imperial calligraphy art, a once-renowned craft that had been lost for over a decade.
