Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has been voted among Vietnam’s top city hotels in the prestigious Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia-Pacific 2026, further strengthening its position as one of Southeast Asia’s most celebrated luxury heritage properties.

The latest recognition adds to an impressive list of recent global honours for the iconic hotel. Condé Nast Traveler recently awarded the Metropole its “Triple Crown,” while Travel + Leisure included it in its global “500 Best Hotels” list for the sixth consecutive year. Its wellness offering, Le Spa du Metropole, was also named Vietnam’s Best Hotel Spa at the Tatler Best of Vietnam 2026 awards.

Commenting on the recognition, George Koumendakos, General Manager of Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, said the award holds special meaning as the hotel celebrates its 125th anniversary. He highlighted that the property has long stood as a symbol of timeless elegance in Hanoi and remains committed to delivering personalised luxury experiences for guests.

First opened in 1901, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi continues to be regarded as a historic landmark in Vietnam’s capital. As part of its 125-year celebrations, the hotel is hosting a year-long programme titled “125 Years of a Legend”, honouring its legacy while looking ahead to the future of luxury hospitality in the region.

The property is also known for its blend of colonial charm and neo-classical elegance, featuring the Heritage Wing and Opera Wing, along with six signature dining venues, luxury wellness experiences, and curated cultural offerings.

With this latest recognition, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi continues to reinforce its reputation as one of Asia’s most iconic and enduring luxury hotel destinations
