Attending the opening ceremony were people who lived through the memorable years of the “Hanoi of bombs and bullets” era: Ms. Gemma Cruz Arenneta – Miss International 1964, Philippine journalist; Mr. Bob Devereux – Australian diplomat; Mr. Cao Xuan Nha – specialist of the Foreign Affairs Department, who was responsible for welcoming international delegations to Vietnam during the period when Hanoi fought against the destructive war of the American imperialists…

Mr. Kai Speith

Speaking at a press conference just before the opening ceremony, Mr.Kai Speith– General Manager of Metropole Hanoi Hotel said: “Today is a meaningful and emotional day for me and the hotel staff. Today we will open the forgotten bunker located right under Bamboo Bar and next to it, we will install the “Path of History” exhibition in the hallway near the main lobby of Metropole Hotel.

And youCruz Arenaagain moved when recalling: “… During that fierce period, this hotel was called Thong Nhat Hotel and was our home for almost a month. The facilities were quite simple but the service was more than satisfactory. It must be remembered that Vietnam was going through the fiercest phase of the war. As soon as we arrived at the hotel on Friday, May 17, we saw some signs saying “abri” – shelter and arrows pointing to the location of the shelter. I hoped I would never have to use it, but I had to rush there twice when the terrifying sirens blared across the whole city.

So what did I witness in North Vietnam that May? I can sum it up in one word: “Determined to win!” The cry was written everywhere – on mountaintops, on the muddy walls of peasant huts, on the ruined buildings of cities…”.

It is known that in the first phase, the Metropole Hanoi Hotel will only open the above mentioned basement to hotel guests and groups of students from the capital who want to visit if needed.
