According to Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems, the upcoming openings reinforce the brand’s philosophy of meaningful luxury. “Each upcoming opening enriches our brand’s portfolio of signature hotels, where every stay becomes a memorable and meaningful experience. Designed to celebrate local and unique character, our hotels invite travellers to discover new places, new atmospheres and new stories to experience,” she said.
