On August 19, Habanos, S.A., the Cuban government-affiliated company responsible for distributing Cuban cigar brands, bestowed the Habanos Lounge title on the angelina restaurant, bar, and whisky lounge at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. This prestigious accolade is reserved exclusively for the world’s top cigar lounges.
According to George Koumendakos, General Manager of Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, the establishment boasts a carefully curated collection of premium Habanos Global cigar brands, including legendary names such as Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, Partagás, and H. Upmann.
“Angelina restaurant, bar, and whisky lounge is the perfect place to savor the unique flavor and aroma of a skillfully hand-rolled Cuban cigar, whether to conclude a New World-style dinner or to enjoy alongside a fine whisky from our elite collection,” said George Koumendakos.
