The Metropole in Hanoi is one of the region’s legendary hotels. This Sofitel Legend property is also a haven for wellness with Le Spa du Metropole expanding over several floors of this regal hotel that has been the residence of choice for kings, princes, presidents, writers and actors for decades. In a hotel full of history, it comes as no surprise to spa visitors that antiques, teak floors, wrought iron railings and Art Deco lights and mirrors adorn the interior. Select oils such as green tea and figwood to enhance treatments like a Vietnamese massage before slipping into a timeless lullaby. Start with a foot massage ritual and then an invigorating body massage of acupressure and long deep strokes. Sothys facial treatments are on offer too. Hammam steam and Finnish sauna are optional and complimentary in conjunction with treatments.
