Architecture, furniture and design are the key themes for the Sofitel Foshan, which is connected to the 200,000 sq m Louvre International Exhibition Centre, a destination hub for design aficionados.

Featuring an interior designed by Cheng Chung Design from Hong Kong (CCD), Sofitel Foshan blends Chinese and French design furnishing and décor to showcase the best of Lingnan rich culture with iconic French monuments and art. “Sofitel Foshan offers the perfect blend of the city’s charm with a touch of French and Chinese “Art de Vivre” for travellers seeking modern refinement and a luxury escape in the historical and cultural city,” said Olivier Larcher, GM, Sofitel Foshan.

Architectural fittings, furnishings and décor are environmentally friendly designed and constructed in line with AccorHotels’ Planet 21 initiative that aims to offer travellers a unique sustainable hospitality experience.
