Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Unveils ‘A Luminescent Dreamscape’ for Holidays

  Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, the iconic 124-year-old Grand Dame of Hanoi, is transforming into “A Luminescent Dreamscape” ahead of the holiday season, as a million lights and shimmering festive spirit blend seamlessly with the hotel’s timeless elegance.





Festive scenes and breathtaking displays will pair with culinary offerings imbued with French sophistication and festive flair – experiences that lift the spirits and evoke warmth, nostalgia, wonder, togetherness and the enduring charm of the holiday season. Amid the season’s magical glow, families and friends are finding the perfect setting to create cherished memories together.


For the first time ever, the Metropole Christmas Fair, held from Nov. 28-30, will offer a joyful celebration featuring Metropole-made specialties alongside local vendors presenting holiday handicrafts, gifts, decorations and more. Sweet delights, eggnog, mulled wine and gourmet bites from the grill and charcuterie stations add to the experience.


The fair kicks off with the annual lighting ceremony on Nov. 28, officially launching the 2025 festive season. In keeping with tradition, a distinctive 15-meter-tall Christmas tree gracing Le Balcon will feature many lights and ornaments, bringing timeless French sophistication and joie de vivre to the heart of the hotel.

Throughout the festive season, Metropole will host memorable dining experiences at its contemporary French fine-dining restaurant Le Beaulieu; at Le Club Bar, home to the hotel’s famed brasserie menu, afternoon tea and evening jass; at angelina, Hanoi’s bespoke cocktail bar, whisky lounge and restaurant; and at Spice Garden, the elevated Vietnamese restaurant.


Christmas Eve: Four spectacular Christmas Eve dinners are on offer on Dec. 24, including an extravagant buffet dinner at Le Club Bar accompanied by live jazz performances, while the other restaurants present 6-course Christmas tasting menus reflecting the special character of each venue.


Christmas Day: On Dec. 25, the hotel will host a very special festive brunch and a series of celebratory dinners, highlighted by a Pan-Asian buffet dinner at Spice Garden and a special à la carte selection at angelina throughout the day.


New Year’s Eve: Gala dinners and countdown parties will set the stage as the world prepares to usher in 2026. This includes a bespoke countdown party at angelina, as well as a spectacular late-night celebration with live music by the pool and at the Bamboo Bar.


New Year’s Day (Jan. 1, 2026): The culinary team kicks off the new year with Le Beaulieu’s celebrated New Year’s day brunch – a true indulgence featuring oysters and shellfish on ice, a gourmet à la carte menu and signature dishes prepared to order, such as côte de boeuf, flambé lobster bisque and smoked salmon.


Following an extensive redesign, L’Epicerie returns with an elegant, Parisian-inspired shopping experience. Its shelves brim with Metropole hampers and festive specialties including premium turkey, the signature Haute Croissanterie, cakes, patisseries and assorted chocolates. The delicatessen section offers curated selections of imported delicacies, from exquisite caviar and artisanal French cheese to fine wines, champagnes and more. The Bûche de Noël stands as both a true French symbol of holiday cheer and is L’Epicerie’s Christmas pièce de résistance.


Le Spa, the Metropole’s serene and private wellness sanctuary, unveils an exclusive Festive Spa Journey designed to refresh the mind and uplift the spirit. The 75-minute Illuminating Facial Treatment includes a six-step therapy that deeply hydrates and reduces dark spots for a radiant complexion. It includes a complimentary 30-minute foot massage, along with an exclusive 15% saving on renowned luxury skincare brands Sothys and Anne Semonin.


Discover the Metropole’s festive treasures from the comfort of home through the Metropole E-Shop, featuring signature L’Epicerie and La Boutique items, or effortlessly send appreciation and festive cheer with Metropole E-vouchers, offering rejuvenating treatments at Le Spa, elevated dining experiences at the hotel’s celebrated restaurants, or luxurious stays ideal for every occasion.

  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.
