LE SPA DU METROPOLE

If I were to go to Hanoi, I would 100% return. For me, this is the best spa facility by far, along with the one at the Banyan Tree in Bangkok. I'd rather have 1 massage at Sofitel than 2-3 mediocre ones at a mid-range hotel. Spending time at this spa was the best gift I gave my mom on my trip to Hanoi. I would definitely go back to Hanoi just to visit this place.

The spa maintains an impeccable level of cleanliness, emitting an enchanting aroma that instantly captivates the senses. Within the waiting room, you'll find well-appointed amenities, including shower facilities, sauna room, a make-up room, and personal lockers with disposable underwear, indoor slippers, and luxurious silk evening gowns.

The staff is very friendly and will guide you in choosing a program. Prior to the massage session, customers are required to complete a short checklist. This includes choosing the intensity of the massage, which parts of the body you want to focus on more, and which parts of the body are painful or uncomfortable. I was given samples of the oils to use so I could smell them and choose my own.These small but thoughtful gestures left a lasting impression on me, portraying the spa as a well-organized professional facility.

I went with my mom, so we were assigned to a room that could accommodate two people at the same time. The room's aesthetics were truly remarkable, exhibiting a cool and tasteful layout. The room was quite large with a shower and bathtub. This room made us feel open and comfy, so there was no sense of stuffiness at all.Even the footbath design is cool – they've got real flowers floating on the water, adding a really fancy vibe to it. The massage bed itself was like the ultimate in comfort and cleanliness, and there were these really nice scents coming from the stuff around the room, like the towels and other things. And they had put some really good thought into the lighting and music, creating this perfect vibe that totally set the mood for relaxation. The air conditioning was just right to keep me comfortable without feeling cold. In Southeast Asia, the weather is hot, so the air conditioner is usually cranked up so high that I often feel a little chilly after the massage, but the temperature control here is excellent, so it's a nice touch.

The massage we received was the "Vietnamese Journey treatment massage for 60 mins for 2 person" (Total amount was 5,216,000VND , roughly $218 at the current exchange rate).
The masseuse started the massage with light pressure, moving from the back of the lower body to the upper body, and I could already feel the difference in class. It wasn't that I was particularly tired, but it was different from the other massages I've had since arriving in Vietnam, with deep, precise taps on my muscles. I felt like my muscles were being relieved of the discomfort they were feeling, not just from travel fatigue. I was disappointed that I chose the shorter 60-minute course due to dinner reservations. I highly recommend paying a little extra and opting for the 90-minute version.
Our masseurs were "thuan" and "chien" and I recommend them. They are very professional. They know exactly what they are doing. They gave us such a great massage, but they didn't force us to tip as we were leaving.

Our massage and facial by Chi and Thuan was excellent. Service was exceptional, friendly and professional. The 90min massage was both relaxing and targeted to help ease the travel aches and soreness. Our facial was rejuvenating. Thank you to both Chi and Thiuan for taking such lovely care of us.

Le SPA location is different from the google map. It is located in the sofitel hotel building.
The therapist has good skill and massage bed was so compy :)
I was fully relaxed while I get massage.

Safest, Cleanest and Professional Spa in all of Hanoi. Had an hour therapy and it was refreshing. If you're in town, head over to Sofitel Metropole. Duoung was my therapist, and she's very professional and experienced.

Thanks!
