Situated in the heart of the capital with its leafy boulevards and lakeside pagodas, this colonial-style hotel is ideally placed within walking distance to the famous Hanoi Opera House, Hoan Kiem Lake, and a number of art galleries and handicraft shops. The Hotel Metropole has been a legendary landmark of Hanoi since its establishment at the turn of last century and has always proved a luxury rendezvous spot for both business and leisure travellers.
