Renowned for its exquisite French cuisine - perfectly crafted in both flavour and presentation - multi-award winning Le Beaulieu has for over a century been the venue of dazzling soirées and sublime Sunday brunches. Wine connoisseurs will find pleasure in Le Beaulieu's impressive wine list featuring selections by our passionate Head Sommelier.
One hundred years old like the hotel, this mythical dining destination frequented by war correspondants (Graham Greene, Lucien Bodart...) and also politicians, entrepreneurs and diplomats is directed by head chef André Bosia. The decor is a unique Sofitel blend of Indochinese ambiance and French sophistication: marble and wooden parquet floors, large windows overlooking the street, soft breeze wafting from the ceiling fans, lit by chandeliers at nightfall… An exclusive selection of cigars and one of the finest wine cellars in Hanoi, housing over 100 grands crus, excellent champagne and vintage French and New World wines, a symbol of French heritage.

Bamboo bar to sip that perfect cocktail.. yes.. yes..

 

Very welcoming Receptionists - to attend to your every requirement.. this makes a stay at the Sofitel Metropole a very memorable time! Thank you each and every staff member..

Indeed, a very gracious grand ol' Dame.. Metropole Sofitel.. 

Yes, grand ol' Dame Metropole. I can't wait to be back in March and stay here for three nights again..
