Sofitel Legend Metropole S ofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, a prominent symbol of luxury hospitality inaugurated in 1901, recently reopened its original Heritage Wing after a 21-month-long renovation, accompanied by the unveiling of six prestigious new suites. Meticulously preserving its retro charm, the iconic hotel breathes new life into its ambiance through a sophisticated palette of classic tones and refined details, such as elegant white moldings on the walls of the guestrooms. The attention to detail is evident throughout, as in the ground floor reception area, now enhanced by a ceiling with antique-style mirrors, creating an atmosphere that seamlessly blends the nostalgia of the past with sophisticated contemporary accents. The furnishings, exclusive carpets, and draperies in the restyled rooms and suites epitomize elegance. The six new Metropole Suites, which join the historic Charlie Chaplin Suite, Graham Greene Suite, and Somerset Maugham Suite, are spread across three floors, have views of the garden or the street, and feature high ceilings and a cozy study cum parlour area between the living room and the spacious master bedroom. Their ambiance exudes refined luxury, complete with finely appointed Italian marble bathrooms and Balmain accessories. Hanoi SPRING IN VIETNAM 86 R ESORTS M AGAZINE
