Some of these venues are unique landmarks, which can be rented for private events of any size. We would like to introduce some views of our theme events organised and catered by the Hotel Sofitel Metropole Hanoi catering team. The Opera House, a jewel of French colonial architecture, has just been restored to its original splendour and renovations were completed in 1998. This venue can accommodate events for up to 600 persons in the concert hall, followed by a standing cocktail or dinner, set in the different halls, the elegant lobby and the hallways. Bamboo torches along the entranceway guide the guests to the dining venue and pre-dinner cocktail is served at the gate of the Great Synthesis.
Lanterns illuminating the venue and oil lamps lighting the dining tables make the party mystique.
Our waiters and waitresses are wearing Vietnamese traditional dresses to match the Vietnamese Cultural atmosphere. Dinner at the Vietnam National Puppetry Theatre 20 minutes far by car from the Hotel Sofitel Metropole Hanoi, the Vietnam s National Puppetry Theatre is the ideal place for guests to witness how the water puppets perform on water. With its creativeness and sense of discovery, water puppetry should rank amongst the most important forms of puppet theatre. Pre-dinner cocktail to be served upon arrival followed by an outdoor water puppet show in a small lake and a dinner featuring Vietnamese specialties on the courtyard. Amid the scenery the guests have an opportunity to witness an artistic genre in which land, water, wind, fire and smoke are combined to create the most spectacular scenes.
