🌹 Why Sofitel and Le Petit Prince?

Since 2013, Sofitel has partnered with the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation to keep the values of Le Petit Prince alive: curiosity, kindness, imagination, and discovery. By weaving these ideals into family stays, Sofitel is creating experiences that feel both luxurious and meaningful — stays that parents will treasure and children will remember long after the trip.

 ✈️ Where Stories Come Alive: Le Petit Prince Kids Club and Beyond

Set to open in late 2025, Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort will unveil the world’s very first Sofitel Le Petit Prince Kids Club — a dream come true for young explorers. Here, children step into the story as heroes of their own adventure, moving through zones designed for creativity, calm play, active fun, and cultural discovery.

This is far beyond a traditional kids’ corner; it’s a storybook universe where little ones can paint, play, and imagine, while parents unwind knowing their children are in a safe and inspiring space. Full details will be revealed in November, but it already promises to be a must-visit for Le Petit Prince fans.

The magic doesn’t stop there. At Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort, families can retreat to the Kids Villa, complete with a reading room, private outdoor pool, and a vibrant schedule of workshops. From kite decorating and T-shirt painting to Balinese cosplay and movie nights under the stars, it’s a playful paradise for kids and parents alike.

Meanwhile, in Cambodia, Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra has crafted the Blissful Family Escapade, a thoughtful getaway designed for every generation. Parents can look forward to daily breakfast, rejuvenating 60-minute spa treatments, and sunset cocktails by the pool, while children enjoy complimentary Kids Club access for up to two little ones. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and play, set against the vibrant charm of Phnom Penh.

Les Jardin du Sofitel - Floral Dining Experience

Hi Huneybees,

Sofitel Singapore City Centre is presenting Les Jardin du Sofitel in celebration of the global Vogue x Sofitel collaboration from 13 February to 9 April 2023.

Taking inspiration from haute couture and spring fashion trends, 1864 will be transformed into a botanical wonderland with a specially curated all-day dining menu featuring edible flowers and fashion elements that are almost too pretty to eat. Launching just in time for Valentine’s Day and International Women’s Day, a gastronomic affair at 1864 is the perfect way to show love and appreciation to oneself, a romantic partner, friend, or co-worker.

Elaborate Floral Décor

Step into an oasis of floral dreams brimming with roses, eustomas, peonies, hydrangeas, and hanging wisterias that are reminiscent of a Parisian floral café in 1864. Crafted by the master artisans at The Floral Atelier, a luxury floral design studio whose roster of clients includes Louis Vuitton, Dior, Saint Laurent, Cartier, and more; the extravagant installation is a sight to behold. Guests who are obsessed with fashion are also invited to come dressed in their best spring ensemble as the installation includes a runway that presents an opportunity for guests to be the star of their own fashion show.

 

Botanical Afternoon Tea

The botanical afternoon tea set ($150 for two guests) takes guests on a sensorial journey by paying tribute to the spring fashion shows. It mirrors the journey of someone dressing up for the occasion, from picking the right dress and shoes to wearing the appropriate make-up. 

Available from 2pm to 5pm daily, savory creations in the line-up include Light Truffle Duck Rillettes Croquette with Apple Lavender, Cod Fish Brandade in Sakura Shell and Ikura, and Creamy Crab Meat with Lemon Chamomile. For sweets, menu highlights including the decadent Saint Honoré Praline, 64% Chocolate Manjari Mousse, as well as Blossom White Chocolate Bar will surely impress. 

In addition to the gastronomic gems, guests can complete the teatime tradition with barista-style coffee prepared to their preference, or choose from more than 20 premium blends of TWG tea including floral infusions such as Amour de Thé, an enchanting potion of delicate rose blossoms and leaves of pure gold, as well as Sakura! Sakura! Tea, a beautiful bouquet of cherry blossoms, and green tea.

 

À La Carte Specialties

Drawing inspiration from spring’s beautiful blooms, the medley of à la carte specialties feature savory masterpieces such as Fish Brandade with Light Citrus Gel and Olive Dust ($28), a perfect combination of creamy fish with a refreshing gel, and Pickled Tomato with Eggplant Caviar and Pesto Cream ($24), a delicious appetizer presented in a whole tomato. 

Other show-stopping highlights include the elegant Pavlova with Citrus Coulis and Exotic Fruits ($20), which comes with a crisp and rich exterior paired with a soft marshmallow interior, and Lemon Tart with Berries and Lemon Balm ($20), a harmonious blend of sweet, buttery crust with zingy lemon curd.

 

Cocktails and Mocktails

While flowers may be the go-to gift for Valentine’s Day and International Women’s Day, floral libations are a much better alternative that can help craft unique, memorable moments. 

Look forward to Spring Symphony ($25), a thoughtfully curated tipple made with Four Pillars yuzu gin, Luxardo Maraschino, and cranberry juice, perfumed with cherry blossom, and Chrysanthemum Sips ($25), offering notes of chrysanthemum vodka, apple juice, lychee juice, and lemon juice, in a teapot.

For teetotalers, opt for Moon Sparkle ($16), a lavender hue mocktail infused with blue curaçao, cherry blossom, apple juice, and elderflower tonic, presented in a canary cocktail glass, or Bella Rosa ($16), a gorgeous red drink combining Seedlip Spice, elderflower syrup, and cranberry juice, poured over floral ice cubes.

Takeaway Cakes

Bring home assorted handmade creations baked fresh in-house daily in small batches. The Honey Cheesecake ($12) brings together a velvety and rich cream cheese layer with a toasty cookie base that is baked to golden brown perfection, while the Caraibe Chocolate Choux ($12) showcases a light and airy puff topped with swirls of decadent chocolate cream. The Raspberry Macaron ($9) is another showstopper, with luscious pink meringues sandwiching whole raspberries and chantilly cream.

So fashionistas, grab your BFFs and loved ones for this floral dining experience.
