Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Named One of World’s ‘500 Best Hotels’ by T+L

 The iconic Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has once again been named one of the world’s “500 Best Hotels” by Travel + Leisure magazine, securing a place among the most elite properties in global hospitality for the sixth consecutive year.






Celebrating its landmark 125th anniversary this year, the legendary Metropole Hanoi was one of only 12 hotels in Vietnam to appear on the 2026 list – and one of only two in the capital. The annual “World’s Best” awards, published in Travel + Leisure’s May 2026 issue, are among the most respected benchmarks in the international travel industry.


“Being recognized in Travel + Leisure’s ‘500 Best Hotels’ is a tremendous honor. As we celebrate 125 years of legendary hospitality rooted in our extraordinary past, this award inspires us to continue crafting even more remarkable experiences for our esteemed guests and the Metropole,” said Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi General Manager George Koumendakos.

The recognition comes on the heels of several other major international accolades for the luxury hotel. Metropole Hanoi was recently named one of the “100 Most Incredible Hotels in the World” for 2026 by Fodor’s, a leading international travel authority for more than 80 years.


Last year, Metropole was awarded a coveted MICHELIN Key in the MICHELIN Guide’s inaugural edition in Vietnam. Business Traveller magazine named Metropole Hanoi one of the “Best Business Hotels in Asia-Pacific” for 2025, and Robb Report Hong Kong spotlighted Metropole in its “Best of the Best” for 2026.


In June, the Metropole was named the best city hotel in Vietnam in the annual Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025. Condé Nast Traveler also recognized Metropole as one of the 72 best hotels and resorts in the world in the magazine’s prestigious Gold List 2025.

  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.
