MGallery
Unique hotels, where every stay is filled with emotion and discovery.
PREFACE
An exceptional collection and growing fast
With the launch of the first MGallery guide, we invited you to discover a collection of forty hotels that didnt conform to the norm. Hotels that promised travellers stopping there moments full of discovery and feeling. So you could relive the Golden Age of the Kingdom of Siam at Hotel Muse in Bangkok, experience the ultimate in wellbeing at the Capovaticano Resort Thalasso & Spa Hotel in the heart of Calabria, facing the Aeolian Islands and the Stromboli volcano. Or follow in the footsteps of Sir Winston Churchill at St Ermins, MGallerys first hotel in London. Whether situated in the middle of a city or in decidedly unusual settings, they all possess their own remarkable personality and stand out for their unique style. With around fifty locations, MGallery is arousing increasing interest from both hoteliers and owners, and will soon have over one hundred hotels. MGallery has decided to marry its growth to a renewed visual identity, even more elegant and distinctive. I am proud to present to you the brands new logo in this 2012 edition of the MGallery guide, designed to match the spirit and aspirations of the collection. It was the character and singularity of the MGallery hotels that attracted our ambassador, Kristin Scott Thomas, a charismatic actress with a rare charm and elegance, who perfectly embodies the philosophy of our brand. Having attended the major events of 2011, Kristin Scott Thomas has also been involved in the creation of this 2012 edition of our guide. In these pages, she invites you to have a look at her personal travel notes and shares a few of her favourites and memories with you. Welcome to a world of exception.

EDITORIAL
A year ago, I was offered an unexpected role that of ambassador for the MGallery collection. And I must confess that this first year has been one filled with emotions and events. After having participated in the launch of this unique collection, I went to Hanoi for the opening of the Htel de lOpra, a special place I urge you to discover Youll be sure to be seduced by the remarkable charm of this hotel, set in the very heart of the city, where the highly theatrical dcor is like a change of scenery in itself. As with all MGallery hotels, the Htel de lOpra boasts additional flair and a very specific feel, which for me is an essential source of inspiration I also greatly enjoy sharing with you some of my memories of other places through my travel notes. Throughout the pages of this second edition of the MGallery guide youll discover some of my most recent absolute favourites Amsterdam, with its striking combinations and its vivid palette of contrasts, Cabourg and its gourmet treasures from the hedged farmlands of Normandy, or London, the city of endless possibilities. I hope that these exclusive secrets will awaken your desire to travel and open doors to unique experiences for you, in ever more surprising and exceptional places. Yours truly,
Kristin Scott Thomas

MGALLERY HOTELS: GATEWAYS TO THE MOST WONDERFUL FEELINGS

Living the MGallery experience means putting an emphasis on originality and authenticity, emotion and discovery. It also means choosing to stay in hotels that are, quite simply, one of a kind. Some of these are unique in their interior and exterior design, the signature work of renowned architects. Others are one-offs because of their glorious past. Still others reflect a specific project that was the motivation for their design. And then there are those that are uniquely located in the heart of a natural or historic site. Each one different, these hotels invite you to share memorable moments today.

Cabourg
Time without end

There are some places where time seems to stop so that you can fully appreciate the joy and intensity of every moment. Le Grand Htel Cabourg is one of these very special places. Immortalised by Marcel Proust, who came up with a wonderful description of it in In Search of Lost Time, this theatre of emotions embodies the wonderful spirit of the Belle Epoque, with all of its romantic charm, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. Whatever season you choose to visit, Le Grand Htel Cabourg can give you the thing thats most precious of all time. Time to savour local ingredients and delicacies from the sea Time to enjoy a brunch or a memorable afternoon tea with hot chocolate and one of those famous madeleines Time to live, to enjoy the stunning rooms with their modern dcor, with views of the sea or the delightful gardens flooded with flowers. It is the ideal place to relax in a dreamlike setting. Le Grand Htel Cabourg is one of the few hotels on the Normandy coast providing direct access to the beach. It is also the only one with a private beach with its own restaurant by the water. A must for your next romantic getaway, as well as the perfect base to enjoy all the treasures the region has to offer, including horse-riding, sailing, golf, horse races or a trip to one of the ancient villages of the Pays dAuge. A cross between an escape from it all and the most practical destination, where your dreams of well-being become a reality at last!

Cabourg through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes
When I think of Cabourg, I get a bit nostalgic about the time a very long time ago that I won the best actress award at the romantic film festival there. I was invited to the Grand Htel, a majestic building with a breathtaking view of the sea. Even now, this hotel takes me back to that wonderful time, and when I go back there, I feel the same excitement, the same emotions. I shut my eyes and imagine Marcel Proust, a regular here, looking for inspiration in this magical place. Just like the great author, I wander around Cabourg In search of lost time; I love strolling along the waters edge, breathing in the sea air, scanning the horizon to try and imagine the English coast in the distance sometimes I head off inland, to enjoy the beautiful countryside and sublime manor houses. My little breaks here are also all about food an excuse to savour the regional specialities: camembert of course, but also Pont lEvque for the more daring among you, cider, oysters, seafood And it is always a very emotional moment when I walk along the D-Day landing beaches, where the sea washes over another page in our history

Dinard
A jewel between Belle Epoque and Modernity

A garden town by the sea thats Dinard in a nutshell! But the legendary seaside resort also brims with art and history. Boasting an extraordinary architectural heritage with over 400 listed villas, Dinards sumptuous buildings will take you back in time to the turn of the 20th century. Established at the height of the Belle Epoque, the Royal Emeraude promises you a romantic break in Brittany. Just a stones throw away from the beach, Plage de LEcluse, the casino and the Promenade du Clair de Lune, this rated hotel is all about escapism, with its unique boat-like architecture. Each of the 47 rooms has been fully renovated in styles based on 4 themes: ocean liner staterooms, British India, the Orient Express and aviation. Onboard youll find all modern conveniences juxtaposed with a traditional Belle Epoque atmosphere. To top off your stay, why not visit the fitness centre where you can enjoy a massage or a Turkish bath? Or give yourself a treat in the hotels tearoom. Under a stunning glass roof, you can savour a delicious hot chocolate for afternoon tea, or choose from a menu of 21 different varieties of tea, served with fresh scones and cream.

Paris
A cozy ambiance in the very heart of the City of Lights

If the 16th arrondissement is one of the most elegant neighbourhoods of the French capital, it is also the one that best symbolizes the Parisian lifestyle in the early 19th century. A lifestyle you can enjoy yourself if you choose the Htel Baltimore for a stay steeped in sophistication and romanticism. Located just a few steps from the Champs-Elyses and the Eiffel Tower, this prestigious town house, built in 1892, was transformed into a hotel in 1920 and named after its first guest, Lord Baltimore. Inside, fabrics in warm colours, antique furniture and original paintings give the place a cosy atmosphere, conducive to relaxation and rest. Every day, you will enjoy an unparalleled quality of service that combines respect and discretion with an ongoing commitment to satisfy every wish of our guests who will have the opportunity to experience the good life and fine dining at the Michelin-starred restaurant of the hotel.

Strasbourg
When history meets intimacy and refinement

Located in the heart of the European capital and close to the cathedral, the Cour du Corbeau is not only one of the oldest hotels in Europe but also one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles of the Renaissance. Very secluded, this hotel is a labyrinth that invites you to stroll among the nooks and alleyways that are there for you to discover. Much more than just a hotel, the Cour du Corbeau is a journey through history, time and the city. A souvenir of another era, this building that was an Alsatian inn at the time of the Tsars and Princes, has traversed through five centuries of Strasbourg history and has accommodated such illustrious guests as Frederick II, King of Prussia, Voltaire, etc. Refinement, calm and serenity, the elegant interior features neo-baroque style furniture and materials as diverse as Vosges sandstone, cobblestones, copper, glass, granite and pebbles in an intimate atmosphere enhanced by touches of aubergine, raspberry and purple. Each of the 57 rooms is different and offers a sample of the history and culture of Alsace: rooms with refined lighting, rooms in the mansard roofs or rooms with a private garden They all offer comfort lovers a warm and spacious alcove which may hide the magic of a secret you will long to discover. A unique experience in a refined setting.

Shadows and lights

Poet, patron and artist, Ren of Anjou transformed Provence into a world where the finer things in life were king This culture of pleasure and well-being is exactly what you will find if you stay at the Grand Htel in Aix-enProvence, proud to bear the name of this illustrious epicure and lover of fine literature and fine foods. Designed to resemble a romantic boudoir, the Grand Htel Roi Ren is a little haven of peace in the heart of the city of Czanne and a stones throw away from its historic centre. Those who have stopped off at this jewel of Aixs past on their travels Sir Winston Churchill stayed here to write part of his memoirs particularly appreciate the elegance and harmony of the dcor, the comfort and light of the rooms, and the discretion and sophistication of the service.

A moment of pure pleasure, to be savoured.

Marseille genuinely Mediterranean

O time, suspend your flight, and you, happy hours! Suspend your race. Alphonse de Lamartines words will no doubt resonate in your mind when you stay at the Grand Htel Beauvau. Especially as the poet, as well as composer Frdric Chopin and lady of letters George Sand, stayed in this romantic haven of inspiration and a base for journeys Journeys through time, as this lyrical hotel with its intense, warm atmosphere, has seen some 200 years of the history of the Phocaean city A journey to the heart of Provence, where period furniture from the time of Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III are perfectly matched with traditional local fabrics. While the Grand Htel Beauvau pays a hearty tribute to the regions riches, to local arts and craftsmanship, it also enjoys a unique setting, with a breathtaking view from the bar over the Vieux Port and the Mediterranean beyond. The perfect place to get away from it all!

Marseille through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes

Marseille contains the entire history of the Mediterranean. I came to appreciate it while playing the role of Brnice at the wonderful Gymnase theatre. Every night after the show, we would go down along the Canebire to get together at one of the many pubs that welcome you all night long. At the heart of the city theres the Vieux Port, its joyful hustle and bustle and its must-see fish market, where the fisherwomen call out to the passers-by with their inimitable and cheeky banter. Far from the bustling city centre, the Panier quarter is a peaceful haven that invites you to stroll about at your leisure. With its small squares, its colourful allies and winding staircases, it remains the favourite haunt of local artists and artisans, located around Lenche Square. Theres the Estaque quarter at the city limits to be explored, whose name comes from the Provencal estaco, the attachment. Between the sea and the hills, this small port was the source of inspiration for many artists such as Paul Czanne or Auguste Renoir, who declared it the most beautiful in the world, and has provided the setting for many films, including Marius et Jeannette. People come here with friends, to enjoy its panisses, slices of fried mashed chickpeas and the famous, or chichi-frgis, donuts sprinkled with sugar.

Milan
Between history, art, pleasure and delights

There are a thousand and one reasons to enjoy the hospitality of the Grand Hotel Villa Torretta. But whether you come here for business, for a romantic anniversary or just for a break, you cant fail to be enchanted here. It has to be said that this 17th century former residence, left derelict for 40 years, has managed to recapture all of its splendour, thanks to the painstaking restoration work which demonstrates a remarkable loyalty to its historic roots. Each of the 56 rooms offers a welcoming, refined atmosphere, while the 22 suites and junior suites provide guests with an oasis of elegance, with their 18th century furniture, trompe lil frescos and Venetian stucco. The atmosphere is just as enticing in the Vico della Torretta restaurant which showcases the very best of Milanese cuisine. With just 50 covers, this intimate culinary haven finds the perfect balance between regional dishes and Mediterranean wines. Serving a feast fit for a king or anyone who appreciates fine Italian food.

Venice
Between secret gardens and animated canals

Famed for its gondolas and St Marks square the only town like it in the world, with its little islands connected to each other by 400 bridges Bewitching with its carnival Venice, the Floating City, is a real cultural gem, lying languid in its lagoon. On the threshold of the old town, in the characteristic district of Santa Croce, the Papadopoli hotel is the ideal base from which to explore the charms of La Serenissima. From the outside, the simple, traditional exterior seems to take on the very spirit of the city. But on the other side of the front door hides a haven of sophistication, well hidden from prying eyes. Sumptuously elegant, the dcor embodies the spirit of 18th century Italy, with its warm and pastel colours, Venetian chandeliers and exquisite materials. In the rooms, every detail has been carefully designed to give guests an original and authentic experience Overlooking the canal or the famous Papadopoli gardens, they all boast a breathtaking view and guarantee a peaceful nights sleep with the gentle wake-up call of birdsong. A culinary island in the middle of the winter garden, the restaurant showcases the wonderful flavours of Venice. If you need a literary escape, the hotels library, dedicated to art and travel, has an area devoted to Corto Maltese, the legendary comic book hero created by Hugo Pratt a regular at the hotel.

In the purest Florentine style, it pays tribute to the Italian Renaissance, with its bevelled faade, studded with broad windows, its Florentine mirrors and its stunning Liberty staircase, as light as air. The alchemy between the textures and the colours iron, wood, velvet, red, gold catches the light, revealing a style which is both incredibly refined and completely authentic. Just like the architecture, the hotels cuisine is a delicate pleasure. Il Michelangelo bar is well worth a visit, where subtle and simple Tuscan dishes are prepared with incredible skill and care. In this romantic setting you can give your taste buds a real treat with one of the local specialities, washed down with a glass of Chianti. And to help you get to grips with the real spirit of Florence, the hotel organises private talks given by lecturers (from the citys Art schools) on the theme of the arte dei pellicciai (the art of leather). A unique cultural adventure right in the heart of Florence the Magnificent.

Florence through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes
Several years in a row I had the good fortune to be shooting a film in Florence. What a joy to slip away from the set on the sly to visit the Uffizi Galleries, the Pitti Palace, and especially the gelato man near the Ponte Vecchio In Florence you simply must buy gloves. I buy a pair of red ones every time. The streets are littered with trattorias where you can devour a Linguini al pesto or a Florentina for confirmed meat eaters. On summer days, nothing beats the small stalls where you can find coconuts chilled by little moving fountains. At night, you simply must go up into the hills on a Vespa, your hair flying, in order to enjoy the view of Florence at sunset.

The luxury of being right on the spot: walking Cologne

Founded by the Emperor Agrippina in 50 A.D., the city of Cologne still bears traces of its ancient civilisation within its walls, with countless Roman churches and colourful little houses stretching along the Rhine. But the most majestic monument in Cologne is still its gothic cathedral, towering over the old town from its staggering 157 metres height. It is alongside this architectural jewel, a Unesco world heritage site, that we invite you to discover the soul of Cologne. Located right in the heart of the Altstadt*, the Hotel Mondial am Dom finds itself at the crossroads between the romanticism of the old town and the modernism of the city centre. This very special address boasts beautifully decorated interiors, cleverly combining art and culture. In the reception area a bust of the Roman emperor Trajan blends in with sumptuous wood, comfy armchairs and select marble statues. After an evening out at a concert by the Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra, you can relax in the hotels Spa, or savour the sophisticated and delicious dishes served in the restaurant La Brasserie.

A collectors guardian angel

The Hotel Rotary is in the image of its creator: atypical and unconventional. Keen traveller, architect and owner, Ren Favre has always collected objects and furniture from his cultural journeys. A great collector of antiques, he designed a decor both simple and elegant to house his collection and other treasures. Merging into the lively Rue du Cendrier, the Rotary was founded in 1976, in the heart of the business district. Upon entering, youll love the cosmopolitan decor combining warm colours and antiques. A Spanish church altar here, used as a reception desk. Aubusson tapestries there, decorating the ceiling... Just a few steps from Lake Geneva and the Old Town, this real museum is a must for anyone wishing to discover poetic Geneva. Both an international financial centre and a shopping Mecca, the city on the lake is also ideal to stroll in and discover nature...

Geneva through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes

For me, Geneva is the perfect destination when all I want is some peace and tranquillity From the banks of Lake Geneva to the vast parks full of flowers, the whole city is conducive to happy daydreaming. A former military patrol, the Promenade de la Treille has now been pacified and is the ideal setting for a delightful romantic stroll. In the shade of two rows of centenarian chestnut trees, an immense wooden bench, more than 120 m long, offers a fantastic vantage point and its the perfect refuge for anyone who wants to take a break and enjoy a good book. After spending the morning strolling round the Plaine Plainpalais market, a popular haunt for anyone interested in antiques and bric-a-brac, I tend to head to the place du Bourg-de-Four, right in the heart of the old town, where I like to catch some rays on the terrace of one of its picturesque cafs. No trip to Geneva would be complete without a visit to the mouth-watering rue de Rives or rue de la Confdration. Im never disappointed there, thanks to the divine concoctions dreamt up by the master Swiss chocolatiers. Creations that I can devour with my eyes without holding back!

Victorian grandeur in the heart of London

Ideally located in the heart of St James, just a stones throw from Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, the prestigious St Ermins Hotel boasts a quintessentially British spirit. Behind its red brick faade, the hotel exudes a traditional English style with cream-coloured walls and floral fabrics. The lobby, as with all the rooms, offer a formal elegance, seamlessly marrying the authentic dcor with modern facilities. Here, the atmosphere is hushed; the service is the very soul of discretion. And for good reason. In 1940, the great wartime leader and former Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill gathered his team within its walls to plan covert operations during World War II. There is also the story from the 50's of a spy who was said to have used the networked tunnels of Whitehall to steal secret documents from the Foreign Office. One rumour even suggests that a secret passage still exists under the lobbys impressive staircase, linking the hotel to the Houses of Parliament...

through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes
For me, London isnt a city or a capital, its a little country, both in terms of its size and the variety of its different areas! You cant get more diverse than Belgravia, Clerkenwell and Hampstead... The atmosphere here is unique, the contrasts live side by side and opposites attract. For me it is the city where everything is possible. One day Ill wander round the shops of Bond Street and Mayfair... Another, Ill stroll through St James Park or take a walk around the trendy area of Brick Lane... then Ill find a table at an adorable little Italian caf on Bethnal Green Road. Every moment is unique and different! My favourite London trio? A visit to the Tate, a pub lunch in Marylebone or Notting Hill and afternoon tea in a typical English tea room. In the evening I like to go out to the theatre The best productions in the world are put on here, and its no coincidence that plays are often transferred to Broadway. On the programme: modern plays, West End musicals, free mini concerts Finally, history lovers like me really should visit the Churchill War Rooms. This museum helps us to understand the role played by England during the Second World War and find out about the incredible organisation of the government during the conflict and the London Blitz.

Genuine hospitality, intimacy at the heart of Amsterdam

This historic hotel, located along the winding canals of central Amsterdam, is one of the finest examples of architecture in the city. Originally, the facade of the Convent Hotel concealed five small residences that alternately housed two monasteries in the Middle Ages and served as the headquarters for the newspaper De Tijd. From this illustrious past, a special atmosphere remains and can be found in its infinite detail: the stained glass windows, the facade adorned with faience tiles, but also a replica of a 16th century Piet, which was discovered in the hotel in 1985. The interior is just as rich in refined ornaments and internal displays of elegance. Spacious and decidedly contemporary, the rooms combine comfort and conviviality with their warm colours and their high quality materials. On the walls, paintings of the Dutch school and a rich collection of books recall that Amsterdam is one of the main cultural capitals of Europe, with its fifty museums including the famous Van Gogh Museum, which houses some 200 paintings and 550 drawings.

Amsterdam through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes
You cant beat a bicycle for getting around Amsterdam! I love this city because of its stunning combinations and exciting contrasts. Its as though youre in a surrealist painting, an impressive mix of colours and textures. But its impossible to sum up the soul of Amsterdam in just a few words: there is the seediness of the Red District, but its also a very arty city with lots of museums housing works by some of the most famous painters from the Dutch School. Ravishingly rebellious, for me, this city, intertwined with waterways, is imbued with a really special atmosphere, thanks to its stunning houses running alongside the canals. I love wandering around, looking at the reflection of the houses in the water, like trompe lil paintings. In a world of my own, my feet take me on a tour of tearooms, reminding me of Amsterdams colonial past. When the evening falls, Id recommend the wine bars too, because the Dutch have wonderful palates and they really appreciate French wine. If youre a bit more daring, you might like to try some herring, groene, from a typical little stall.

Art Nouveau, art of life

Nestled in the heart of Vienna, the Hotel am Konzerthaus enjoys an exceptional location, close to all the cultural venues in the city. The ultimate haven of hospitality, it is also remarkable for its fascinating design and unique atmosphere, directly inspired by Art Nouveau. Here, each decorative object and each detail recall this famous art movement of the turn of the 20th century, led by Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele. Thus, works of art and sketches by Viennese artists line the walls of the hotel... In the bar, a truly cosy alcove, in a delightfully nostalgic atmosphere, you can admire artefacts from one of the coaches of the legendary Orient Express and a superb collection of Lalique glassware. This cosy and elegant atmosphere is also evident in the sumptuous rooms decorated with Klimt paintings, with shimmering colours. When the art of living becomes Art Nouveau

Following Kafkas footsteps

Poets try to transplant other eyes onto men and thereby transform reality, once said Franz Kafka. The memory of this illustrious writer still hovers over the Century Old Town hotel, where the author of The Trial and Metamorphosis had worked as an insurance clerk between 1908 and 1922. The first hostel to be built in Prague, in 1379, the Century Old Town hotel has kept this literary spirit within its walls and also pays a major tribute to this great writer. Through its refined decoration, it also celebrates the neo-baroque style and recreates, for the comfort for its guests, the warm and intimate atmosphere of the beginning of the century. Offering the same cosy and friendly atmosphere, the Felice brasserie the name of one of Kafkas muses will also give you the opportunity to enjoy an avant-garde cuisine accompanied by exceptional wines; unless youd rather enjoy a refined liqueur in the Chapter Bar, while leafing through the works of the greatest Czech writers. A spiritual nourishment that will certainly give you the appetite to explore the architectural treasures that make up the splendour of Prague, a baroque city par excellence!

Formerly the Kingdom of Siam, Thailand is well known around the world as the Land of the Smiles. As tradition demands, hospitality is second nature to the Hotel Muse. Combining the very finest service with a warm welcome, this boutique hotel takes us back to the golden age of Siam at the end of the 19th century, thanks to its rich, authentic design. Majestic ceilings and staircases, exquisite furniture, relaxing sofas and armchairs Every detail here is a living tribute to Rama V, one of the best-loved kings of Siam, whose reign has become synonymous with prosperity. In the contemporary dcor of the rooms, colonial influences are cleverly mingled with Thai style, breathing even more magic into this elegant kingdom.

Bangkok through Kristin Scott Thomas eyes

For me, Bangkok is the epitome of the meeting between Asias past and its future Its something to do with the way the traditional architecture lives side by side with unusually shaped modern buildings in this fascinating city. Bangkok is indeed a city of contrasts, but also an incredibly welcoming place, with an amazing energy. One of my greatest pleasures is to wander round the citys many markets which come to life as soon as the sun rises in the morning Pat Khlong Talat and Bang Rak are, for me, a real treat for all the senses, with all the fruit and flowers and their mind-blowing array of colours and fragrances As for Chatuchak, the countrys biggest market, it has become the place to come for anyone interested in exquisite fabrics and local craftsmanship. After all of this hustle and bustle, I like to take some time out in one of the citys many temples. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, right in the heart of the Royal Palace, is without a doubt one of the most sumptuous and revered. Then when the evening falls, a trip to the business district of Silom is a must Thats where the nightlife is at. Boutiques and shops are the main attraction here, and its quite an experience to wander through the streets trying a fragrant noodle soup here, a sweet banana there, not forgetting the Miang kham, the traditional little spicy mouthfuls wrapped up to order.

Each one has its own private balcony overlooking the deep blue sea or the tropical vegetation of the gardens. Some even have their own patio or private whirlpool bath In this little paradise of calm, the days go by following the rhythm of your desire: lazing by the pool, which looks just like the sky thanks to its lighting, or a trip in the perle du Sud, to discover the delights of the national park of Khao Phra Thaeo or the Koh Siray mangrove swamps

On the shores of Hoan Kiem Lake, said to be inhabited by a legendary turtle, my imagination is captivated by this surprising city. An intangible city, both full of energy, with its puppet shows, and also strangely calm, in the shadow of its Flamboyants. I love losing myself in the district of 36 Streets, all named after different trades. I let myself be tempted by the silks, with their range of unexpected colours, the mysterious religious artefacts, the complex painted wooden toys, exotic in their simplicity. Coming out of a shop where Ive picked up some embroidered tablecloths that remind me of my childhood in England, I find myself opposite a gothic church, blackened by the years, a strangely European sight. And the taxi back to the hotel, I let myself be engulfed by the energy of the city, the raucous noise of car horns, mopeds and scooters. In the evening, I wander through the area around the Opera House, whose architecture was inspired by the Palais Garnier in Paris. Neither totally yin nor totally yang, Hanoi reflects the wonderful alchemy of Asian traditions and Western influences.
