Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Unveils A ‘Candlelit Wonderland’
Festive season at Vietnam’s most storied hotel includes memorable meals and more
Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, the iconic 123-year-old luxury hotel in Vietnam’s capital, has unveiled an enchanting “Candlelit Wonderland” theme ahead of this year’s festive season.
The hotel invites guests to immerse themselves in a dreamscape of timeless elegance, with the courtyard bathed in golden hues, and shimmering ornaments and sparkling lights casting magic in every corner. In keeping with tradition, a distinctive 15-meter-tall Christmas tree gracing Le Balcon is adorned with ornaments, bringing timeless French sophistication and joie de vivre.
Throughout the festive season, Vietnam’s most storied hotel will host memorable dining events at the award-winning modern French fine-dining restaurant Le Beaulieu, and at Le Club Bar (home to the hotel’s famed Afternoon Tea and evening jazz), angelina (cocktail bar, whisky lounge and rustic European and New World restaurant), and the modern Vietnamese restaurant Spice Garden.
A decadent French afternoon tea specially designed for the holidays, Le Goûter is inspired by Metropole Hanoi Chef Charles Degrendele’s treasured childhood memories. It offers a refined experience that weaves together the art of fine pâtisserie with a choice of premium teas, aromatic coffees or a glass of fine Champagne.
The hotel’s annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony will be held on Nov. 29, as General Manager George Koumendakos welcomes underprivileged children from Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation and amid festive holiday music performed by a group of blind musicians.
