Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has unveiled an exquisite mooncake collection ahead of this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrating Hanoi’s timeless elegance preserved in vintage film.
On June 3, 1916, the first cinematographic performance ever shown in the capital of Indochina took place at the Hotel Metropole Hanoi. Inspired by this momentous cultural milestone, the hotel’s 2025 mooncake collection, under the theme “Metropole Cinema: Hanoi through Film,” spotlights a cinematic journey through the city, capturing the nostalgic charm, artistic soul and timelessness of the Vietnamese capital.
Hand-baked and free from preservatives, Metropole’s mooncakes are made from authentic and innovative recipes, each infused with the hotel’s signature gourmet touch. Artfully crafted by Metropole Hanoi’s culinary team, the mooncakes – available baked or with snowskin – come in a variety of exquisite flavors, including Red Bean & Pistachios; Lotus Seeds & Macadamia Nuts; Green Bean & Date; Traditional Mix; Green Bean, Apricot & Salted Egg; and Black Sesame & Sunflower Seeds.
Each mooncake box is thoughtfully designed to capture the essence of Hanoi, with the same affection, detail and refined artistry once seen on the silver screens at the legendary Hotel Metropole Hanoi more than a century ago. Mooncakes are available in several elegant configurations, including, for the first time, a stunning two-piece box. The two-piece Metropole Premier Box (200g each) is priced at VND 1,860,000, while the four-piece Metropole Premier Box (200g each) and the six-piece box (100g each) are priced at VND 3,330,000. The VVIP option features a six-piece Metropole Premier Lacquer Box (100g each), along with Emperor Lotus tea and Jasmine tea, and is priced at VND 9,990,000.
For orders placed before Sept. 26, receive one complimentary six-piece Heritage Box for every eight boxes ordered, or enjoy up to 15% discount for orders of 15, 30 or more boxes. Accor Plus members, agencies and companies receive an additional 10% discount.
Promotional discounts apply only to single invoices and cannot be availed across multiple invoices. Promotional prices are not applicable for the two-piece Metropole Premier Box, VVIP lacquer and Super VIP boxes. Orders must be completed and paid in full when placing the order.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, known as Tet Trung Thu in Vietnam, is a time for families to come together to enjoy delicious teas and mooncakes, while giving thanks and praying for good fortune in the year ahead. This year, unwrap more than a cultured delicacy – discover a curated experience: a journey back in time, celebrating Hanoi’s heritage, memories and artistry.
