The Sofitel Paris La Défense sets the standard for contemporary luxury. In September 2009 it became the only 5 star hotel in the Parisian East business district, ideally situated a few minutes from Etoile and the Champs Elysées. Refined, intimate and subtle; just a few words to describe the atmosphere of its 151 rooms. Designed by Jean Philippe Nuel, the Sofitel Paris La Défense is a haven of elegance, technology and well-being, perfectly suited for not only leisure clientele but business clientele too. The not-to-be-missed restaurant of La Défense, The Italian Lounge, offers Italian and Mediterranean inspired contemporary cuisine in an elegant setting. Our bar, unique to La Défense, is the perfect meeting place to enjoy a glass of wine in an inviting music lounge. The Sofitel Paris La Défense features five function rooms all filled with sunlight, completely flexible for any event with the capacity to hold up to 80 people. You can also enjoy our fitness area equipped with the best Technogym apparatus.
