Sofitel’s partnership with Candlelight concerts is no coincidence. Every evening, as darkness falls, Candle Rituals take place at Sofitel hotels around the world—an experience steeped in Parisian history. In the 1860s, Paris was the first city to light its streets with gas lamps. This tradition gave rise to the Candle Ritual: a warm and enchanting tribute that bathes every Sofitel hotel around the world in the warmth of candlelight as dusk falls. An experience that takes center stage once again during the concert on January 6, Sofitel Legend x Candlelight: Hans Zimmer.
This ritual is a nod to the French art of living, a value close to Sofitel’s heart and one that is inextricably linked to all its destinations worldwide. Sofitel hotels are not just places to stay; they are venues for gathering and celebrating, where you can savor life. Join Sofitel on a journey full of surprises and enchantment, making every moment even more special. Why not start with this unique event on January 6?
