A wartime bunker complex rediscovered beneath the grounds in 2011 was restored and reopened in May 2012, and in 2013 the hotel received a UNESCO Award for Cultural Heritage. The hotel also pursues sustainability initiatives and holds Green Globe certification and a VERIFIED Responsible Hospitality badge from Forbes Travel Guide.

Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi was first opened at the turn of the 20th century by two private French investors. During Bamboo Bar's renovations in 2011, the hotel's engineering team re-discovered a wartime bunker complex buried beneath the hotel grounds; this place once served as a bomb shelter protecting hotel guests from air raids during the war in the 1960s and '70s, including famous visitors such as singer Joan Baez and actress Jane Fonda. The bunker was carefully restored and reopened in May 2012 to honour the contribution, courage and resilience of the hotel's Metropole Ambassadors who worked there during those challenging times. In 2013, in recognition of its efforts to preserve special historical values, the hotel was honoured with a UNESCO Award for Cultural Heritage. The hotel's Opera Wing is undergoing a series of discreet refurbishment projects until late September 2026, remaining fully operational with work proceeding in three distinct phases.
