Sofitel Singapore Sentosa kicks off the holiday season with a luminous celebration that embodies the essence of its French history. The resort brings Parisian beauty to the tropics with its annual Candle Ritual, a signature experience that serves as the centrepiece for this year's holiday programme. The tradition sets the tone for guests looking for outstanding dining, relaxing getaways, and elegant gatherings on Sentosa Island. The core term of Sofitel Singapore Sentosa is festive season, which anchors the hotel's appeal as a luxury and culturally rich destination.
The Candle Ritual highlights Sofitel's history and pays homage to Paris, the original City of Lights. In the nineteenth century, Paris pioneered nighttime illumination with tens of thousands of gas lamps that altered the streets after dark. Sofitel honours the art of illumination throughout its global properties, carrying on its history.
At Sofitel Singapore Sentosa, the experience takes place every day at 7 p.m. at the water feature between the hotel lobby and Le Bar. This moment immerses guests in a world of warmth and elegance, which becomes even more magical during the Christmas season. The resort accentuates the event with candlelit dining experiences and special festive menus that encourage guests to enjoy in a beautiful setting.
Sofitel Singapore Sentosa is a sanctuary on Sentosa's southern point, encircled by 27 acres of tropical nature. Its hilltop location provides a refreshing sea wind from the South China Sea and large outdoor spaces that give the impression of a private hideaway. The resort's architecture is inspired by Paris' Jardin du Luxembourg while embracing the essence of a tropical retreat. It has 211 rooms and suites, four private villas, and a variety of dining options with indoor and outdoor seating.
Guests enjoy immediate access to Tanjong Beach and an award-winning golf club. The resort's Celebrations & Events Centre features twelve meeting rooms and two ballrooms. Its pet-friendly policy allows animals in specified outside dining areas. Sofitel Singapore Sentosa, a Green Globe-certified hotel, also provides a Green Meeting Package for planners looking for sustainable alternatives.
