"The city's grande dame. All 364 rooms include modern amenities, but those in the original wing have a traditional feel." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Though rooms in the modern Opera Wing exude international-class luxury, they lack the old-world charm of the original building, with its wooden floorboards and louvred shutters."
DK Eyewitness "The Sofitel Legend Metrople restored to its original splendor, is the one of the most atmospheric hotels in the city."
Condé Nast Traveler ""It captures old-world colonial charm." A fixture in the heart of Hanoi since 1901, this hotel near the Opera House has played host to playwrights, ambassadors, and heads of state." Full review
Star Service "A French-style colonial property in the heart of Hanoi City, the Sofitel Legend Metropole occupies an ideal location in the southeast corner of the bustling Old Quarter across from the Opera House." Full review
Jetsetter "Hanoi French Quarter charmer with a spa, three restaurants and fin-de-siècle flavor." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler "Overlooking the 800-year-old Golden Lotus Pagoda on Hanoi’s largest lake, it is ten minutes by car from the city’s hip historic center (an excellent city map is presented along with your room key)." Full review
Star Service "Located in the neighborhood of the Golden Lotus Pagoda and flower market, this sprawling hotel is 40 minutes from Noi Bai International Airport and 10 minutes from the city center." Full review
Lonely Planet "Unquestionably the most luxurious address in the north of the city, this hotel is setting new standards in the luxury sector, with a contemporary Asian-design theme running throughout." Full review

"Located outside central Hanoi, this sprawling, 318-room luxury hotel benefits from a lakeside setting." Full review
Fodor's "In a tranquil setting, over-the-water pavilions house spacious rooms with balconies and great views of West Lake and Hanoi, helping guests feel removed from the urban bustle of the city center, even though the hotel is only a couple of miles from the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake." Full review

"This luxe urban resort is uniquely set on the edge of Hanoi’s largest lake." Full review
Afar Magazine "The city’s largest lake, known locally as Ho Tay and situated just northwest of the Hanoi Old Quarter, plays home to this whitewashed hotel whose layout mimics the form of an open lotus flower." Full review
Independent "One of only two Hanoi hotels that are actually built on the water...the “over-water” rooms are particularly appealing, as they fan out on small man-made islets from the central sunset bar."
Frommer's "All rooms have great views from the balconies, but the suites are particularly appealing as they are perched right out over the water...rooms are decorated with dark timber, cream walls" Full review
