Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi to Welcome 3-Michelin-Star Chef Viki Geunes

  Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, the 124-year-old luxury hotel in Vietnam’s capital, will welcome Chef Viki Geunes of the 3-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant Zilte in Belgium for a series of exclusive “four-hands dinners” at Le Beaulieu in April.







Chef Viki, one of Belgium’s most celebrated chefs, is known for his refined technique and innovative, experimental approach to flavors. A self-taught culinary master, he forged his path to the top through dedication and discipline. In 2021, he earned the rare distinction of a third Michelin star, with the Guide praising him as a "fastidiously meticulous chef who delicately plays with each texture and flavor, conjuring up food that is complex and gutsy, yet free of fussy frills."

His restaurant, Zilte, located on the highest floor of the MAS Museum with panoramic views of Antwerp, is one of only two 3-starred establishments in Belgium. Since 2023, it has been a distinguished member of Relais & Châteaux, and in 2024, it joined the prestigious Les Grandes Tables du Monde. Zilte also holds an 18.5/20 rating from Gault & Millau, a renowned French restaurant guide.


At Le Beaulieu, Chef Viki will collaborate with Chef de Cuisine Charles Degrendele, a native of Marseille, France. Chef Charles brings a fresh perspective to modern French cuisine with a culinary background that spans diverse cultures and influences. His dishes epitomize his culinary vision in three words: sustainable, innovative and simple. They showcase the finest produce, pay homage to dedicated suppliers, and present ingredients in an artistic and elegant manner.

Together, the two chefs will craft an exceptional six-course menu, where sophisticated compositions, daring flavors and a masterful play on textures blend seamlessly.


The meals will be served on April 4 and 5, between 6pm and 10pm, and priced at VND 7,000,000++ per person (with an optional VND 2,900,000++ add-on for wine pairing).


The dinners will have limited availability and the hotel highly recommends securing a place early for this exclusive dining opportunity. The collaboration promises a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience, drawing food connoisseurs in the local community and beyond.

Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor Welcomes New Artist in Residence

  Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor has welcomed a new artist in residence ahead of the launch of a new exhibition of artworks, as the iconic 93-year-old luxury hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia continues to spotlight talented Khmer creatives. Teang Borin, popularly known as ‘DinArt’, is an audacious, self-taught artist whose work captures and exalts the essence of Cambodia’s rich religious and societal heritage. His latest exhibition, inspired by the majesty of Khmer royalty and the distinguished colour palette of the Raffles Royal Doorman, features vivid, brilliant hues often set against a stark backdrop. “The central concept revives the historical tradition of Khmer royalty, specifically focussing on the Royal Guards’ pantaloons. Historically, the colour of a king’s attire would change to correspond with the day of the week—a vibrant, visual reminder of the calendar and its spiritual significance,” said curator Nat Di Maggio of the local Tribe Art Gallery.
