For the past 60 years, Sofitel has been embodying French art de vivre all over the world. 2024 marks the brand’s diamond jubilee celebrated through a series of exclusive events in Sofitel hotels: Rendez-vous at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa as we invite you to join us at our 60 Years of Sofitel Gala Dinner and a sumptuous Italian brunch on 16 and 17 November 2024, respectively.

2024, AN ANNIVERSARY NOT TO BE MISSED

At Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, we invite you to indulge in an enchanting evening of culinary mastery, featuring a collaborative six-hand menu by celebrated chefs on Saturday, 16 November. The menu is perfectly paired with fine champagne and wines. On Sunday, 17 November, the celebrations continue with a sumptuous Italian brunch at Club Matera at The Cliff, where a lavish spread of dishes awaits.

In tandem with these celebrations, a series of activities involving our Heartists and the community – including an employee appreciation night, a photography workshop and a visit to the Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home – will be held within November.

FOR THE HEARTISTS

To show appreciation for their passion and dedication, our Heartists will be treated to a barbecue dinner on 11 November. On this special evening, the best of the best will receive these awards: Above & Beyond, Team Player and Ray of Sunshine.

Additionally, there will be a photography workshop focusing on Sentosa’s flora and fauna. Photos taken by the participants will be used to form a collage in the shape of Sofitel’s Cultural Link.

FOR THE GUESTS

Chef de Cuisine Paolo Benedet, one Michelin-starred Club Matera at The Cliff Chef Bjoern Alexander, and Geoffrey Daurelle of Bistro Gaston come together on 16 November to present you with an extraordinary evening of culinary excellence. Featuring a collaborative six-hand menu, this refined six-course dining experience will be elevated by a selection of fine champagnes and wines, thoughtfully chosen to complement every dish.

The festivities continue the next day with an Italian brunch at Club Matera at The Cliff. Guests will enjoy a spread featuring cold cuts, cheeses, oysters, Angus ribeye, a Sanchoku Wagyu live station, and more, such as Roasted Sustainable Barramundi, Ratatouille and Tiramisu – a true culinary journey.

FOR THE COMMUNITY

As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we extend our celebrations beyond the Resort with a visit to the Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home on 5 November. An art and craft session will not only encourage participation among the residents, but also provide entertainment for them through the medium of art and culture, which aligns with Sofitel’s brand pillar of Committed Luxury in making art and culture experiences accessible to everyone.

A DIAMOND JUBILEE CELEBRATE IN STYLE

And the brand goes even further: many surprises have been unveiled throughout the year to celebrate its 60th anniversary with style. Starting with two major announcements at the beginning of this year: a new brand film and a collaboration that sparkles. The objective: to reaffirm the brand’s pillars, from French Zest and committed luxury to a Hearfelt service culture and the deployment of the emblematic Cultural Link.

New ambassadors and a new brand film

In April 2024, Sofitel unveiled a brand-new campaign headlined by two new brand ambassadors: actors Gillian Anderson and Dali Benssalah. The campaign features a short film titled The Encounter, which takes place in the flagship hotel Sofitel Mexico City Reforma, the epitome of a brand platform that is constantly evolving.

A collaboration with Courbet, sustainable jeweller

At the same time, Sofitel unveiled its new collaboration with the first sustainable jeweller on Place Vendôme in Paris: Courbet, which has designed an exclusive jewellery line that sumptuously expresses the shared values of the two Maisons, symbolising Sofitel’s diamond anniversary. The collection comprises 18 original creations that each embody the Sofitel Cultural Link. There are diamond pavé earrings, cord bracelets available in different colours, pendant necklaces, and rings adorned with ethically sourced diamonds.

"As we celebrate Sofitel’s Diamond Jubilee, we reflect on 60 years of French elegance and art de vivre that have shaped our brand globally," says Cavaliere Giovanni Viterale, Cluster General Manager, Raffles Sentosa Singapore and Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa. "This milestone is not just about looking back; it's also about continuing to create exceptional guest experiences and strengthening our community connections. We are proud to mark this occasion with meaningful events for our guests, the community and our Ambassadors, staying true to Sofitel’s values of timeless luxury."

60 years of history, 60 years of passion, 60 years of authenticity

A pioneer of the French luxury hospitality, Sofitel has been spreading the French art de vivre around the world for 60 years. On 26 June 1964, Sofitel opened its first hotel in Strasbourg, Alsace. A region that epitomises all that France has to offer – gourmet cuisine, picturesque architecture and singular landscapes.

Ten years later, the brand embarked on an international expansion trajectory, with one objective in mind: to deploy its know-how on every continent,
highlighting what makes each destination different. Sofitel has been the first French luxury hotel brand operating on every continent – Europe, North and South America, Oceania, Africa and Asia.

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa, inaugurated in 2015, is nestled on picturesque Sentosa Island. Our Resort offers a unique blend of luxury and tranquillity, featuring stunning sea views, lush tropical surroundings, elegant accommodations and worldclass dining. Committed to the French art de vivre, we ensure your stay is a truly unforgettable experience.
