Sofitel hotels in Paris are at the very top end of the hotel market. Although part of the French All-Accor chain, these are not 'me too' chain hotels with common features, each hotel is unique with its own character.
Every 5-star Sofitel hotel in Paris is very different, the only common denominator is the offering of the the finest quality luxury accommodation.
Sofitel hotels in Paris tend to be more traditional luxury hotels in character buildings, showcasing more chandeliers and doormen than modern conference and training room facilities.
Sofitel are just as much aimed at the affluent leisure traveller as business people requiring the finest accommodation in Paris.
Four of the five Sofitel hotels in Paris are very close to one another in prime locations just a few minutes' walk from the Champs-Elysees, the Louvre and major department stores beyond Opera. These are traditional luxury hotels in sumptuous buildings.
