Two Hanoi hotels, both located in the capital's downtown area - the Capella Hanoi and the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi Hotel - have emerged as winners of the prestigious World Travel Awards. These hotels have been awarded a prestigious five-star rating by Forbes Travel Guide for the year 2025.

Designed by visionary architect Bill Bensley, Capella Hanoi's architecture and interiors pay homage to the city's rich history and its proximity to the iconic Hanoi Opera House, immersing guests in a captivating 1920s opera-themed ambiance throughout their stay.

Meanwhile, Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi is praised by the Forbes Travel Guide as a “supremely beautiful hotel” that “draws deeply from a century of stories to weave a rich, nostalgic guest experience.”
