Testimonials

Richard Kaldor: ‘Maybe the most striking fact was that when we took over the hotel from the former owners all archive material was lost. When we decided to launch the history project very little of the hotels history was actually known, and none was collated. We had no opening date, all material had either left Vietnam or was lost.
Andreas Augustin and his team put our history together like a jigsaw puzzle. They unearthed 100 years of history. Today we know when it all started, who was here and when things happened. This hotel now has a document that goes far beyond any usual hotel publication, and can consolidate the Metropole as one of Asia’s grand old hotels. We rightfully celebrated our centenary in 2001 in a part of the world where historic hotels are few and far between.’
