Emerging from transformative renovations, Sofitel New York and Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile invite travellers to immerse themselves in the unique artistic heritage and singular aesthetics of each destination, deftly informed by the French art de vivre that defines the Sofitel experience.

Sofitel New York: An Art Deco Escape

At Sofitel New York, Art Deco takes centre stage throughout the newly unveiled guest rooms, suites and public spaces. The city’s emblematic architecture serves as a backdrop for the brand’s keen sense of modern French refinement, with gleaming metals, layered textures and expertly curated artwork setting a scene that is cinematic in scale yet intimate in effect.

Situated just off Fifth Avenue, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Sofitel New York boasts a clique of high-profile, architecturally notable neighbours whose striking silhouettes can be admired through the larger-than-life windows that bathe guest rooms and communal spaces in natural light. The Chrysler Building in particular gets top billing, prominently visible from select premium accommodations – like the expansive terrace suites that offer a rare Midtown amenity: private outdoor space. The Big Apple icon can also be viewed from the spectacular Penthouse which, with its panoramic skyline vistas, feels like an elegant eyrie hovering high over Manhattan. Never ones to sacrifice form for function, Sofitel has outfitted every guest room with marble bathrooms, Diptyque care products and coveted Sofitel BED that promise unparalleled sleep – even in the city that famously doesn’t.

Guests and visitors alike can take a moment to drink in the hotel’s newfound splendour at Social 45 Bar & Bistro, blending French culinary craft with the indomitable energy of New York. Original cocktails, shareable plates and gourmet La Haute Croissanterie breakfasts are served amid to-die-for Art Deco interiors in this day-to-night venue set become the newest haunt of the Manhattan beau monde.

Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile: Impressionism Reimagined

Located on Sherbrooke Street, with Mount Royal on one side and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on the other, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile commands a privileged position in the city’s cultural epicentre – an aspect that has been beautifully captured in the hotel’s recent revamp. Here, soft hues, natural light and artistic details, like painterly murals and radiant rose-gold accents, converge into an exquisite ode to French Impressionism with a firm nod to Canadian authenticity. 

Nowhere is the transformation more evident than in the culinary sphere, which has seen the debut of two newly conceived dining and drinking venues. RENOIR restaurant leads the way as the property’s flagship eatery, a splendid light-filled space that evokes the artistry of its namesake in both style and substance. Executive Chef Olivier Perret, having perfected his approach at fine French hotels and dreamed up signature dishes for Air France Business Class, leans into local, seasonal ingredients in his menus, applying classic French technique to the flavourful bounty of the Québécois terroir. For pre- and post-prandial drinks, NINI Cocktail Lounge – so christened for Renoir’s muse, Nini Lopez – beckons with an array of creative cocktails slung behind an impossibly chic rose-gold bar.

The sumptuous vibes and thoughtful details continue in the guest rooms. With expressive patterns and vibrant pops of colour, the room decor sets a sophisticated tone, while marble bathrooms with rain showers and Balmain amenities create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere that primes guests for a restorative night of sleep in their signature Sofitel bed. Guests seeking to further elevate the experience can reserve the Prestige Corner or Golden Mile Suites, which, with their generous proportions, plush furnishings and room-height windows offering front-row views of Mount Royal, set the scene for a truly exceptional Montreal stay.
