Novotel & PSG: Crafting Unforgettable Stays
The value of immersive experiences.
December 15, 2025

In today's hospitality landscape, it's no longer enough to just offer a bed for the night. Guests crave genuine connection, stories, and experiences that resonate long after check-out. That's precisely why the Novotel x PSG "Legendary Rooms" initiative struck such a chord. Novotel launched it as an ambitious concept: fully immersive hotel rooms celebrating PSG legends, designed to transport guests into the heart of football history.
While the initial launch generated considerable attention, the true measure of success lies in sustained results. This global collaboration has delivered quantifiable impact across three critical dimensions: enhanced brand presence through authentic storytelling, deeper guest engagement that drives loyalty, and significant value creation for our partners. The initiative stands as compelling proof that strategic partnerships focused on unique brand experiences represent a key driver in how hospitality creates competitive advantage.
When Stories Become Experiences
What began with La Suite Novotel at Parc des Princes in Paris has evolved into something far more significant, a global canvas where football legends' stories come alive in hospitality spaces. Each room tells a different story, yet collectively they reveal how authentic partnerships create unexpected connections.
Guest reactions speak for themselves: "an unforgettable stay," "truly unique," "I felt connected to the legend." But perhaps more telling is what happens after check-out. Social media platforms light up with organic content as guests naturally become storytellers themselves, sharing moments that traditional marketing could never capture.
Each Legendary Room is designed as a living tribute – a space where football, culture, and storytelling collide. We are proud to bring those stories to life in ways that surprise, inspire, and connect people across generations and geographies.
