Sofitel unveils full-scale renovation at US flagship property in New York

Sofitel has unveiled a "sweeping redesign" at its US flagship, Sofitel New York, including a new penthouse and bar and bistro.

Sofitel has unveiled a “sweeping redesign” at its US flagship, Sofitel New York, including a new penthouse and bar and bistro.

French Art Deco has been the ethos of the full-scale redesign at Sofitel New York, which has seen all of the hotel’s guest rooms and suites redesigned with French-inspired wall panelling, new customer furnishings, textiles and lighting.

Upper-floor guest rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the Manhattan skyline, while spacious marble bathrooms feature modernist artworks on canvas and bath amenities by French luxury houses Balmain and Diptyque.

The new ‘Suite Collection’ includes the 28th-floor Penthouse, which has an eight-seater dining table and a freestanding circular marble soaking tub.

Social 45, Bar & Bistro is the new eatery at the heart of the hotel, created as a private Parisian salon with menus pairing French classics with New York-inspired creations such as grilled cheese with caviar alongside inventive cocktails.

Sofitel New York General Manager Dieter Schmitz says the transformation is a “celebration of New York’s boundless energy and the timeless elegance of our French heritage”.

“From our reimagined Penthouse and world-class suites to the debut of our vibrant new bar and bistro, Social 45, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create an experience as dynamic and unforgettable as the city itself.

“Together as a team, we take great pride in pairing this remarkable physical transformation with a warm, genuine and refreshingly personal style of hospitality that ensures every guest leaves with memories to last a lifetime.”
