Why we recommend it
The Metropole is one of the great historic hotels of Asia. Its white colonial facade, green shutters and historic wing evoke more than a century of history, and its guests have included writers, statesmen and film stars.
A tour of the wartime bomb shelter beneath the pool adds a moving historical dimension, and its restaurants and bars are institutions in their own right.
Location
The hotel is in the French Quarter, a short walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, the Opera House and the Old Quarter.
