Best MICHELIN Hotels in Asia for Discovering Ancient Temples and Cultural Landmarks

"Located in the vibrant heart of Hanoi, just moments from the Old Quarter and the tranquil Hoan Kiem Lake, this distinguished 1901 landmark is renowned for over a century of refined hospitality and stands as the cornerstone of Sofitel’s prestigious Legend collection of heritage properties worldwide. Its storied past reads like a who’s who of cultural icons, having hosted luminaries such as Charlie Chaplin, Graham Greene, and Somerset Maugham. Proximity to the Hanoi Opera House situates you amid the city’s rich colonial architecture and vibrant arts scene. Inside, marble floors, high ceilings, and meticulously restored Art Deco details blend seamlessly with subtle Vietnamese influences, while serene courtyards, lush gardens, and intimate lounges like the legendary Bamboo Bar invite lingering conversations over classic cocktails." - Faye Bradley
