Sofitel has unveiled the highly anticipated transformation of its U.S. flagship, Sofitel New York, in the city’s vibrant heart. Blending the energy of its surroundings with the timeless elegance of Paris, the revitalised property reflects the brand’s vision for a new era of contemporary French luxury in North America.
The sweeping redesign draws inspiration from the shared Art Deco heritage of both cities, from Manhattan architectural landmarks to the continued influence of French fashion and art on daily life.
All of Sofitel New York’s 398 accommodations – 346 guest rooms and 52 suites – have been fully redesigned with French-inspired wall paneling, new custom furnishings, textiles and lighting.
Sofitel New York’s 52 suites range from upper-floor city-view accommodations to terrace and balcony layouts, many with views of the iconic Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Each suite is conceived as an urban retreat, marrying residential-scale comfort with distinctive design touches such as theatrical lighting, custom millwork, and curated artwork inspired by French artistry and New York’s architectural heritage. Generous layouts include separate living areas and bespoke minibars with metallic accents.
An elevated new addition to Sofitel New York is the new Suite Collection. Artistic and expressive, these seven boldly designed suites offer spaces of a scale rarely seen in Manhattan.
The pinnacle of the collection is the 28th-floor Penthouse, spanning 112 square metres. Additional Suite Collection accommodations include two premier 24th-floor suites, the Grand Terrace Chrysler View Suite, featuring 44 square metre terrace with views of the iconic Chrysler Building, and the Panoramic Terrace Suite featuring a 85-square-metre terrace showcasing views of both the Empire and Chrysler Buildings. Both suites feature 60 square metres of elegant interior living space.
Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems, said: “The remarkable renovation of Sofitel New York marks a new era for our brand – particularly across North America.
“Today, nearly 30% of Sofitel hotels worldwide are being revitalised, a powerful reflection of our commitment to ensuring consistency and excellence across our entire network.
“Following the transformations of Sofitel hotels in Philadelphia, Montreal, and Los Angeles, Sofitel New York emerges as our flagship Art Deco icon – a new milestone in our journey to showcase the very best of Sofitel’s French zest, harmoniously blended with the timeless energy and unmistakable vibrancy of New York City.”
