#VogueXSofitel | A gateway to an alluring way of life

“To me Sofitel is an experience that goes beyond hospitality. It is a gateway to an alluring way of life: inviting travellers to soak in the art of living, the French elegance, culture, history and a certain savoir-faire, particular to Sofitel hotels,” said Maud Bailly, CEO Accor Southern Europe. “I am thrilled that this partnership with Vogue will infuse so much of our common aspirations – from beauty and design to gastronomy and entertainment. I am particularly pleased that we have designed Vogue x Sofitel in a sophisticated way that allows our hotels to create bespoke experiences that are meaningful to each market and enhanced by Vogue.”

The #VogueXSofitel Festival

A premiere Vogue x Sofitel Festival weekend will be held in Paris from October 14th-15th, 2022. The Art de Vivre celebration will be held at Pavillon Cambon Capucines, Paris 1er. Up to 1,000 guests from the Vogue and Sofitel communities will enjoy hairstyling with Balmain Hair Couture; beauty treatments with Le Rouge Français, Codage and Hydrafacial; olfactory workshops with Diptyque; Grey Goose vodka® mixology lessons; holistic beauty tips with Holidermie; strength and conditioning sessions with star coach Julie Pujols; decadent sweet treats by Maison Carrousel; a Vogue boutique; a 4D Sofitel MyBed™ experience; and a Sofitel Café. An exclusive Festival preview on October 13th at the Pavillon, with the support of Grey Goose vodka® and Laurent Perrier. A select group of 150 VIPs will be invited to this preview in advance of the Festival opening. Tickets for the Vogue x Sofitel Festival weekend are available here.

‘Art de Vivre’ video series

Vogue has brought its artistic talents to a series of videos illustrating how Art de Vivre is expressed at Sofitel hotels and through the eyes of some of the world’s most fashionable people. In the first video to be released, part of a broader series that will spotlight global trendsetters and tastemakers, trailblazing model Inès Rau expresses her own personal approach to Art de Vivre against the backdrop of Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra. As a French transgender model and activist, Ms. Rau is a champion of racial and gender diversity, breaking down barriers and influencing taste and culture on the Paris scene. Flagship hotel Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra, nestled in the heart of the Right Bank, has mastered the Art de Vivre in its interior design and its location. Recently redesigned by multitalented French Designer Tristan Auer, the hotel is a modern classic that exhibits Sofitel’s characteristic understated luxury.

Signature cocktail menu in collaboration with Grey Goose Vodka®

To launch the Vogue x Sofitel collaboration, Sofitel has teamed up with Grey Goose vodka® – a spirit brand with a time-honored French heritage. Grey Goose vodka® is created a series of exclusive cocktails for Sofitel, which will be available at Sofitel destinations worldwide. The first cocktail to be introduced is Martini à la Mode – a modern take on the classic martini cocktail, reimagined through the lens of the Paris fashion scene. The cocktail is made with a blend of Grey Goose vodka® and the newly released Martini® Ambrato vermouth, then rounded off with fresh notes of French lemon and artisanal French orange blossom honey.

More #VogueXSofitel around the world

The global partnership between Sofitel and Vogue will feature ongoing activations and events at Sofitel destinations around the world, in collaboration with regional Vogue teams. Upcoming activations and events include both Sofitel New York and Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square with Vogue US, which will begin throughout the months of October and November 2022.
