Last week, we celebrated our grand reopening after a transformative $70 million renovation, ushering in a new chapter of French luxury while honouring Sydney’s local heritage. The glamorous event, hosted by Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur, gathered Sydney’s elite, including French Ambassador Pierre-Andre Imbert, Lord Mayor Clover Moore AO, and TV personalities like Sonia Kruger, Melissa Doyle and Kerri-Anne Kennerley, alongside tourism leaders and loyal guests. We were privileged to welcome Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, MGallery, and Emblems brands, who emphasised the hotel’s transformation as part of Sofitel’s global refurbishment program. The evening also celebrated Sofitel’s 60th Diamond Jubilee with lavish seafood stations, striking ice sculptures, VRANKEN-POMMERY MONOPOLE Champagne and a glamorous display of COURBET x Sofitel jewellery. Guests indulged in tastings from the hotel's four new dining venues, created by House Made Hospitality. The evening captivated attendees with a breathtaking performance by soprano Amy Manford, followed by music from DJs Flight Facilities. Qantas staff, dressed in retro Pucci uniforms, transported everyone back to the golden age of travel. Our General Manager, Sam Panetta, joined by Collin Zhou of KKR, Ben Hopkins of Futuro Capital and Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore AO, reflected on the hotel’s rich history and bright future, reaffirming its position at the heart of Sydney’s vibrant social scene. We look forward to welcoming you to experience the rebirth of a Sydney icon. Accor Encore Encore APAC #SofitelSydneyWentworth #sofitel #RebirthofaSydneyIcon #SofitelTurns60
