Sofitel aims to bring the very best of French culinary culture to the East through a wide variety of activities and events held across the region. Inviting guests to revel in a bounty of magnifique experiences, Sofitel hotels will feature a range of unique wine-related spa treatments, wine tastings and other dining privileges across its world-renowned luxury hotels.
