‘French zest’ and a ‘remarkable renovation’ transforms Sofitel New York
The group’s U.S. flagship said the revitalised property reflected “the brand’s vision for a new era of contemporary French luxury in 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,” Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems Chief Executive Officer, Maud Bailly said.
“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.”
Located in the heart of the city on 44th street, the hotel’s 346 guest rooms and 52 suites have been fully redesigned by HBA San Francisco with French-inspired wall paneling, custom furnishings and neutral tones.
Suites range from upper-floor city view accommodations to terrace and balcony layouts, designed to reflect an urban retreat with views of the iconic Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. New additions include The Penthouse on the 28th-floor, as well as two premier 24th-floor suites, the Grand Terrace Chrysler View Suite and the Panoramic Terrace Suite.
The hotel’s food and beverage offerings have also been elevated and now includes Social 45, Bar & Bistro, a late-night dining option which will also include an outdoor cafe opening in 2026.
The hotel has also revamped its meeting and event spaces, to include an elegant Paris Ballroom alongside seven meeting rooms.
“ 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,” Sofitel New York General Manager, Dieter Schmitz said.
