Design Touches: French DNA is reflected in signature design elements across all Sofitel hotels.
French Gastronomy: Inventive cuisine blends French tradition with local flavors.
Candle Ritual: A poetic ceremony inspired by 1860s Paris, performed nightly to evoke the City of Lights.
The Art of Sleep: Since 2003, the Sofitel MY BED experience has redefined rest with unmatched comfort.
IN ACTION
La Haute Croissanterie
Inspired by the excellence and beauty of Haute Couture, Sofitel successfully launched La Haute Croissanterie in 2024 with the ambition of elevating the art of croissant-making. Each creation reflects the brand's devotion to refined elegance, while celebrating the unique traditions of each region.
The Personal Touch
At Sofitel, the service comes from the heart — driven by an innate desire to surprise, delight, and create lasting emotional connections. Every interaction is tailored to inspire meaningful memories and exceptional experiences.
Every stay is personalized with sincerity and care. From thoughtful gestures like monster repellent for a child, mending a guest’s forgotten coat, or crafting a custom city guide — Sofitel’s team go beyond words, offering a concentrate of emotions that make each moment unforgettable.

Hand-Made Care
Cousu Main. In French it means hand-sewn. At Sofitel, it means that team members are always looking for a tailor-made way to create beautiful moments for their guests. Unique, touching, and unexpected – bespoke gestures to make guests feel treasured.
Preserving Local Culture
Sofitel champions vibrant local cultures, community engagement, and environmental respect — preserving precious heritage while increasing accessibility to art and culture in every destination.
Promoting Arts & Culture: Local artistry is thoughtfully integrated into each property through tasteful design and creative partnerships with local artists and institutions.
Committed Collabs: Meaningful partnerships reflect the brand dedication to luxury, culture, and sustainability.
Water & Waste: With deep respect for nature, Sofitel actively reduce water usage and waste across our hotels and resorts, helping conserve reefs, oceans, and forests surrounding our properties.
IN ACTION
Local Art
Sofitel Cotonou, in Benin, exhibits 150 artworks by local artists, transforming its common areas into a vibrant art gallery - showcasing Sofitel’s commitment to culture and the local community.
A Bridge Between Cultures
At the heart of Sofitel is the Cultural Link — a unique bridge between French heritage and the rich local cultures of each destination. Through design, gastronomy, partnerships, and art, we connect and celebrate both worlds.
Each Sofitel brings this blend to life in its own unique way: from Gaudí-inspired interiors in Barcelona, to cherry blossom croissants in Seoul, and panettone with foie gras in Rome. Sofitel’s emblem — two interlacing diamonds — symbolizes this intersection, where French Zest illuminates local culture.
