Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe

With nearly 120 properties on five continents, Sofitel Luxury Hotels brought the cutting edge of hospitality home to Paris when it opened the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe. The debut on September 19, 2013, unveiled sleek modern interiors behind a classic Haussmann facade. Both the design and location near the Arc de Triomphe mark the very heart of modern-day Paris.

Futuristic amenities include high-tech light therapy to banish jet lag in the 31 suites. But all 124 accommodations provide memory foam mattresses, mood lighting, advanced technology, and furnishings designed to simplify life and soothe the senses. The same approach characterizes four rooms dedicated to events for up to 60 people. And the philosophy reaches a peak of sorts at Le Bar and Le Restaurant, which focus on the finest French ingredients—prepared simply and to perfection.
