Accor Greater China is proud to unveil its 700th hotel, with the opening of Sofitel Shanghai North Bund - a spectacular 25-story landmark and the newest flagship of the prestigious Sofitel Hotels & Resorts brand. The milestone opening is especially significant, given that 2024 is the 60th anniversary of Sofitel - Accor's ambassador of modern French zest and art-de-vivre around the world - as well as the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, and the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism. Sofitel destinations across Greater China, including the new Sofitel Shanghai North Bund, are lighting up with French-Chinese celebrations and festivities throughout the year.

Sofitel has a strong appeal among Chinese travelers, who appreciate its refined sense of modern luxury and its masterful blending of Chinese and French cultures in a beautiful and harmonious way. Sofitel Shanghai North Bund resides in the heart of the North Bund area, boasting 315 luxurious rooms and refined suites that blend the fashionable style of Shanghai's North Bund with the sophisticated elegance of France. The design scheme boldly incorporates popular Chinese hues, such as green and bright yellow, complemented by artistic linear patterns and art deco motifs to recreate the fashionable elegance of Shanghai's golden era, while deftly weaving in chic Parisian style. River-facing rooms offer panoramic views of Suzhou Creek, the surrounding neighborhood of the 1933 Old Millfun cultural landmark, and the stunning skyline of the North Bund. The hotel's three outstanding restaurants - L'Orchestre, Hui, and Lechanteur - are certain to become as popular with locals as they will be with visiting guests.
