Sofitel Legend Metropole

The hotel has a throng of French-flavoured restaurants with a mix of Vietnamese fusion cuisine beginning at Le Beaulieu, a classic spot with velvet table runners, marble flooring and top-class seafood. In an alfresco brasserie setting, La Terrasse is the place for people watching over tea and Le Club Bar is a glossy space with tasty afternoon teas and jazz evenings. For a drop more of Vietnam, Spices Garden serves traditional dishes with garden-fresh ingredients. Grab unique 'personality' cocktails like the tangy Socialite at the artsy angelina bar or enjoy your drinks by the pool. Take a break from the city with soothing moments at the spa.

With a whopping 364 rooms and suites, accommodation at The Metropole is a silky combination of polished hardwood floors, tailored carpets and tall windows. In the Metropole Wing, the style is inspired by 1920s France and Asia and the suites are particularly grand with rich furnishings, metallic drapes and names garnered from its famous guests. The Opera Wing is more mod with a range of open-plan rooms and Neo-Classical suites with a spa room and spacious lounge. The en-suite bathrooms are decked out in honey-coloured marble with a wall of mirrors, clawfoot tubs and Hermes toiletries.
