In 1964, Sofitel Luxury Hotels were created as the first French international hospitality brand, and today the Sofitel brand also encompasses the boutique MGallery by Sofitel, the historic Sofitel Legend and the fashionable SO Sofitel. Each member of the Sofitel family creates distinct opportunities for unforgettable experiences, always inspired by the essence of the locale, and creatively imagined through a sophisticated French lens. All Sofitel hotels share an authentic passion for the new French art de vivre and luxurious French hospitality: embracing and honoring local culture; showcasing the finest in gastronomy complemented by classic French techniques; a dedication to the art of wellness; and a never-ending appreciation for classic and contemporary design.
