Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese Opens July 1st Following Extensive Renovations by Jean Philippe Nuel

The redesign will transform the property into an elegant Roman retreat, fusing La Dolce Vita heritage with modern French art de vivre

  

Rome (April 17, 2019) – Situated in the heart of Rome, Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese will reopen on July 1st, unveiling extensive renovations by contemporary architect and interior designer, Jean-Philippe Nuel. Modern luxury travelers are invited to eat, sleep, enjoy, travel, stay, celebrate and live the French way at Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese.

Situated on a quiet street in the epicenter of Rome, this former 19th century Roman palazzo lies within walking distance of some of the city’s best-known cultural landmarks and parks, including the Trevi Fountain, Villa Medici and Spanish Steps. Evoking the feel of a Roman home, guests will appreciate the hotel’s relaxed and laid-back atmosphere and the sense of being truly immersed in the essence of this picturesque Italian city.

The hotel will offer 78 rooms and suites, with the unveiling of larger suites, a new fitness center and wellness program, and three large event rooms. Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese will also be home to Settimo, an elegant rooftop lounge and restaurant, offering panoramic views overlooking the picturesque Villa Borghese gardens and St. Peter’s Basilica. Adorned with eclectic furnishings and lush green interiors, Settimo will provide a garden escape on the 7th floor and serve contemporary Roman cuisine using locally-sourced ingredients. Paying respect to local mastery and heritage, while highlighting the personality of the hotel’s Executive Chef, Giuseppe D’Alessio, signature dishes will incorporate traditional Roman culinary styles such as ‘cucina povera’ and ‘Tripolina.’

Jean Philippe Nuel’s chic redesigns will combine the heritage and classicism of ‘La Dolce Vita’, with the modernism and design of French ‘art de vivre.’ The hotel entrance will feature an iconic display of chromatic counterpoints and vibrant colors, creating a modern lounge with a classical feel. Guest rooms will also exhibit an iridescent ceiling masterpiece, creating the illusion of the bright sky above.

At Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese, guests will feel instantly at home, with dedicated and personalized attention through thoughtful gestures and delightful surprises. The hotel will feature a dedicated candle ritual, inspired by the lighting of the streets of Paris during the reign of Louis XIV, which provided citizens with a sense of welcoming and safety. At sunset, the hotel will light giant candles outside the entrance to welcome guests back from their evenings out touring the city, accompanied by atmospheric music.

The ‘home away from home’ atmosphere with personalized wellness and fitness therapies with the SofitelFIT Wellness Programme, and the Sofitel MyBed Sleep Menu, a signature in-room service, transform the bathroom into a private sanctuary with luxurious options for relaxation. Guests can choose between two complimentary baths – a therapeutic Soothing Bath that invites a lazy soak with calming essential oils, or a Bubble Bath that injects fun into the bath time experience. Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese also provides guests with personalized bathrobes to enhance the bespoke nature of the experiences.

The French joie de vivre and the Roman carpe diem of the renovated hotel will create a uniquely sophisticated, yet simple and contemporary experience where desires are magnified after a day of exploring the historical Roman streets.

Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese is now accepting reservations for stays from July 1st. Rooms start from $390 per night (excluding breakfast). For more information, visit:sofitel.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-1312-sofitel-roma-reopens-renovated-in-summer/index.shtml

Revealed By Sofitel Comes To Beijing, Shanghai And Guangzhou

Sofitel Luxury Hotels is launching the compelling photo exhibition “Revealed” to China for the first time - taking an intimate look at the world’s greatest modern artists at work as they reveal themselves to the photographer. Olivier Widmaier Picasso, grandson of Pablo Picasso and author of Picasso, Portrait Intime (Albin Michel/Arte éditions), has curated the exhibition, hand-selecting 30 photographs from the archives of Paris Match, the famous French weekly magazine.

This worldwide exhibition will be showcased at three Sofitel hotels in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China from September onwards. The China exhibitions are part of a world tour that has already been to five cities in North America and five in Europe. Aside from China, “Revealed” will also take place this year in Bangkok, Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne.

Among the prized photographs to be displayed is a black-and-white image of Pablo Picasso eyeing a Dalmatian longing to climb upon his lap; Salvador Dalí seen sitting in an animal exhibit at the Paris Zoo; Jeff Koons styling a BMW for the 24 Hours of Le Mans; Pierre Soulages crouching over a work in progress; Kees Van Dongen painting a posing Brigitte Bardot; and other striking images depicting Rene Magritte, Marc Chagall, Fernando Botero, Joan Miro, Jean Cocteau, Francis Bacon, and more.

“As an international ambassador of French elegance, Sofitel links its collection of addresses with culture, and collaborates with celebrated artists, writers and photographers,” says Michel Molliet, Senior Vice President, Operations, Luxury and Upscale, AccorHotels Greater China.

““Revealed” offers a glimpse behind-the-scenes at the artistic process as inspiration comes to life through expression. It is my distinct pleasure to bring “Revealed” to China as this compelling exhibition takes an intimate look at the world’s greatest modern artists at work: from Picasso to Dali, Chagall to Jeff Koons, Miró to Matisse.”

To launch the “Revealed” exhibitions in China, Olivier Widmaier Picasso will be in Beijing to personally meet guests and open the exhibition on September 1st, 2015. “We are delighted to have been able to draw on the talent of Olivier Widmaier Picasso and to have him in Beijing in person to launch “Revealed”,” continues Michel Molliet. “We are also proud to uphold Sofitel’s pillar of culture, which together with gastronomy, design and well-being combines into the French art de vivre that flows through our 120 Sofitel addresses on five continents.”

“Revealed” by Sofitel will be on exhibit in the following hotels in China throughout the Autumn of 2015 at:

Sofitel Beijing Wanda – September 1, 2015 to September 20, 2015
Sofitel Shanghai Hyland – October 13, 2015 to November 2, 2015

Travelore Tips Where To Find The Most Comfortable Hotel Beds

Find out which U.S. hotels truly provide a good night’s sleep, based on an exclusive analysis of travelers’ online reviews.

Contributed by Kate Appleton, www.travelandleisure.com

General manager Jennifer Rota knew the Distrikt Hotel’s 2010 opening near Times Square posed a challenge: “We’re in a one-block radius with every chain you can imagine, so how are we going to stand out?”

It’s the kind of dilemma that keeps you up at night. Ultimately, Rota zeroed in on the sleep experience, investing in airport-grade windows, upping the thread count to 500, and offering soft and firm pillows as well as turn down service in all 155 rooms.

Guests haven’t been shy about voicing their reactions. An analysis of user reviews across 250-plus websites—from TripAdvisor to Gogobot to Zoover—reveals that the Distrikt’s beds are the most comfortable in America. TrustYou, which specializes in online reputation management, evaluated the mentions of beds at U.S. hotels that got at least 400 reviews with at least 10 bed mentions between January 2013 and January 2014.

The top-ranking hotels are found primarily in big cities like Vegas and Chicago, with nine of the top 20 based in New York—despite or perhaps because of the city’s reputation for sleeplessness. (It also welcomed a record-breaking 54.3 million tourists in 2013.) “I think sleep is probably about 60 percent of the guest’s stay, in New York especially,” says Rota. “It may change in a tertiary market where you spend more time in your room.”

More surprising than location may be the kinds of hotels winning raves for their beds. Sure, multiple Starwood properties made the cut for the brand’s famous pillow-top Heavenly Bed, but some four- and five-star brands are notably absent.

Margaret Ady, TrustYou’s marketing director, believes it comes down to expectations: “If you look at a Howard Johnson, for example, the price is much lower than a Four Seasons, and if the bed turns out to be supercomfortable, travelers are more likely to point that out and be excited about it.”

Encouraging guests to share that excitement online may be especially important for smaller or independent hotels. Georgia’s Lodge at Sea Island did not have enough reviews to be included in TrustYou’s rankings, while the Farmhouse Inn of Forestville, CA, had enough reviews but less than 10 bed mentions.

Another takeaway is that improving guests’ quality of sleep doesn’t necessarily require a major overhaul. Michael Grandner of the University of Pennsylvania’s Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program encourages hotels to “think beyond the mattress,” and Rebecca Robbins, a researcher at Cornell and coauthor of Sleep for Success!, agrees that small tweaks can go a long way.

“Despite the fact that they're in the business of sleep, so often things go on at hotels that could really be improved,” says Robbins. “There’s nothing worse than having to struggle through on a short night’s sleep.”

No. 1 Distrikt Hotel, New York City

All 155 rooms at the Distrikt are outfitted with 500-threat-count sheets, hypoallergenic pillows (2 soft, 2 firm), leather headboards, and Simmons Beautyrest mattresses. “It just seems to have that perfect amount of firmness and softness,” says general manager Jennifer Rota, who wound up purchasing the mattress for herself. Windows have blackout shades and airport-grade glass—and if it’s good enough to drown out plane engines, you can rest assured it will mute the chaos of Times Square, a few blocks northeast. Standard Queen rooms face south, the side of the hotel most insulated from street noise. Also factor in nightly turndown service and the use of a light lavender fragrance—little touches that can make a big impression and aid relaxation.

Sample Reviews: "Room was also excellent with the biggest and best bed we have ever slept in at a hotel." (Orbitz). “Our room was beautiful, the bed amazingly comfortable and a shower to die for!" (TripAdvisor).

Jorge Gera

No. 2 The Whitehall Hotel, Chicago

The Whitehall sources its 300-count-plus Egyptian cotton linens from a private label and uses goose-down pillows and feather beds. The mattress brand Hypnos (model Highbury from the Stadia collection) has three times the average number of coils. The result is better support for you while you snooze—and some heavy lifting for housekeeping.

Sample Reviews: "And the beds are super comfy; I don't wake up the next morning wishing I had brought a pillow from home." (TripAdvisor). "The beds are sink-into perfection with a good selection of pillows and bed covers." (Orbitz).

No. 3 Best Western Plus Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

Luxurious isn't the first word that Best Western brings to mind, but Tuscan Innclearly makes guests feel pampered at bedtime. The Simmons mattresses are triple sheeted with 300-count Egyptian cotton and topped with four foam and two firm pillows. Some guests inquire about purchasing the beds, according to Lita Tulloch, executive sales assistant. "I've stayed over many times, and our beds are super comfortable—you really feel like you're sleeping on a cloud," she adds.

Sample Reviews: "The room was clean with plenty of extra towels. The bed, pillows and bedding were nice and soft." (Booking.com). "Our room was well equipped and our bed was so comfortable that we did not wish to get up in the mornings!" (Priceline.com).

Element New York Times Square

No. 4 Element New York Times Square West

This Starwood property prides itself on being "eco-chic," yet for most guests, the biggest selling point is its Westin Heavenly Bed, a hotel bed that's truly a household name—and in a sizable number of homes. It's made in the U.S. by Simmons with a plush custom pillow-top about 13 inches in height. There's a king-size version in each of the 411 white-and-aloe-green rooms, and you can set the lighting to three varying levels of brightness.

Sample Reviews: "The rooms were efficient, spacious and clean—quite possibly the best bed I have ever slept in too!" (TripAdvisor). "The room can be a little bit small but the bed is big, comfortable and clean." (TravBuddy). "Beds are warm, cushy, and comfortable." (Expedia).

The Shelburne, An Affinia Hotel

No. 5 Affinia Shelburne, New York City

At this Murray Hill hotel, east of Grand Central, making the bed involves coordinating a down-filled bed pad with a goose-filled duvet that's slipped between the top and bottom sheets (250 thread count). The Sealy Posturepedic mattress is designed to eliminate the kind of pressure that causes tossing and turning. Top it all off with your preferred selections from the pillow menu.

Sample Reviews: "The bed was fab especially after a long day." (TripAdvisor). "Bedding was nice. Sheeted white comforters, bolster pillows, and a pillow menu made the beds very comfortable." (TripAdvisor).

Sofitel Luxury Hotels

No. 6 Sofitel New York

The 398-room Sofitel in midtown has its own branded experience: SoBed, introduced in 2005. "The custom-designed [Serta] mattress and box spring are acclaimed for their unique balance of sensitivity and support," explains PR rep Jamie Donovan. In the past year, hundreds of guests were inspired to go online and post their own words of praise for that sleep experience, which is embellished by 300-thread-count Yves Delorme sheets, a feather bed, and a down duvet from Pacific Coast Feather Company.

Sample Reviews: "The most comfortable bed that I have ever been on—the fluffiest pillow that I have ever slept on!" (Yelp). "Very comfortable bed." (Tablethotels.com). "The bed was amazing! It was like a huge marshmallow and super cosy!" (TripAdvisor).

Staybridge promises guests "the comforts of home" and seems to be delivering in the sleep department. Pillow-top Serta mattresses are made with three sheets (250 thread count with a cotton-polyester blend) and a duvet in between. Four pillows come standard, though you can request extras and choose between down or fiber.

Sample Reviews: "The beds were extremely comfortable which was great after a long day of sight seeing." (TripAdvisor). "Best of all, it had the most comfortable bed that I have ever slept in (outside my own!)." (TripAdvisor).

MGM Resorts International

No. 8 New York–New York Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas

New York–New York has the lowest average room rate among these top 20 hotels, and the hotel website brags about its affordability: "Yes, the hotel rooms are nice. Yes, they're priced really low. No, there's no catch." Enthusiastic reviews suggest that guests agree—maybe they sleep better knowing that whatever else happens in Vegas, at least they came out ahead on the hotel bill. Prestige Suite II mattresses with 220-thread-count Sobel sheets outfit the beds, from the Park Avenue rooms up to the Penthouse Suite.

Sample Reviews: "The biggest difference were the pillow-top beds. They were fantastic. I had the flu so a nice comfortable bed was exactly what I needed after having had a long drive." (Expedia). "Nice comfy beds...clean...and not to mention the really cool rollercoaster on the roof." (Gogobot). "The beds and linens were amazing and made for a great night's sleep." (TripAdvisor).

Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground

No. 9 Howard Johnson Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground, CA

Less than a 10-minute walk from Disneyland, this HoJo caters to families, with large rooms that sleep up to five (some come with bunk beds). With so many to a room, fights—pillow and otherwise—may seem inevitable and a good night's sleep elusive. Yet the hotel rises to the challenge, outfitting its beds with Simmons Beautyrest pillow-top mattresses with triple sheeting (300 count). And improvements are in the works, according to sales director William Simpson, who revealed that the hotel will be introducing a newer AirCool technology mattress. "After a long day at Disneyland, a good night's sleep is essential," he observes.

Sample Reviews: "I do have to mention how comfortable the beds were...We all slept gloriously!" (Expedia). "We slept well in the comfy beds with lots of pillows." (TripAdvisor).

No. 10 InterContinental New York Times Square

Each of the 607 rooms at this sleek high-rise hotel delivers a stimulating view of the Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, and Broadway from floor-to-ceiling windows. Yet the room interiors are designed to soothe, from the walk-in rain showers to the Simmons Beautyrest Granville Terrace pillow-top mattresses with custom 325-thread-count sheets—the color of champagne—and four pillows. Communications manager Victoria Zuffranieri notes: "InterContinental is evolving its bedding standards and later this year will roll out a specially tailored mattress."

Sample Reviews: "The beds were fantastic and it was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!!" (TripAdvisor). "I can never sleep in but bed so comfortable we had a hard time getting up by 9:30 am each day." (IHG). "寝心地はサイコー！ (Comfort in bed is awesome!)" (4travel.jp). "Heerlijke bedden (Comfortable beds)."

At the Westin New York Grand Central, each room has a headboard with built-in overhead reading lights. It's a thoughtful touch that accents the Westin Heavenly Bed. "Every detail of the Heavenly Bed's 13 pieces—right down to the hidden zipper and ribbon tie that keeps the duvet in place inside its cover—is designed to promote a restful sleep," says the hotel's general manager, Colleen Senters. "And the bed is made with love. All of our housekeepers have obtained very specific and detailed training to ensure each bed has the same heavenly feel."

Sample Reviews: "Moreover, the rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable! So comfortable that when I got home, I ordered the mattress off of Westin's website." (TripAdvisor). "Loved the dreamy beds...they are coma-inducing!" (Booking.com).

No. 12 The Westin New York Times Square

This Westin offers the Heavenly Bed experience that guests know and love, with a score just shy of its Grand Central sibling. Its 873 rooms take a minimalist approach, sticking to crisp white linens—250-thread-count sheets and a down blanket—and a neutral color palette. To increase your odds of a good night's sleep, ask for a room that does not face busy 42nd Street and 8th Avenue.

Sample Reviews: "The beds were the best hotel beds we have ever slept in—extremely comfortable, a choice of pillows and lovely soft bedding." (TripAdvisor). "The beds are great, after walking all day, we just melted in the bed!" (TripAdvisor). "Good size room, bed was massive and very comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and shower was amazing." (Google+). "The beds were great, the bathroom nice, the room spacious enough and we had a lovely view of the water." (IgoUgo).

CityCenter Land LLC

No. 13 (tie) Aria Resort & Casino, Las Vegas

Technology is often the culprit for keeping us up too late. But at the 4,004-room Aria, it's put to work to help guests unwind. Customizable room controls for lighting, temperature, music, and wake-up signals ensure the sleep conditions are just to your liking—and when you slip into bed, a "good night" button shuts the curtains and sets out the Do Not Disturb sign. The Parsonage Lane bed is custom designed by Posturepedic with a Sealy mattress featuring a memory-foam Euro Top and 300-thread-count triple sheeting.

Sample Reviews: "The beds are what heaven must feel like." (TripAdvisor). "Love that place. Most comfy beds ever." (Expedia).

The Westin San Francisco Market Street

No. 13 (tie) The Westin San Francisco Market Street

Fresh off a renovation, this Westin offers 676 rooms with the company's pillow-top Heavenly Beds, garnished with five goose-feathered pillows. Parents can also request a Heavenly Crib—or Heavenly Dog Bed—for the littlest travelers. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out at the busy SoMa neighborhood; as at all city hotels, light sleepers should book a high floor.

Sample Reviews: "It's lucky that The Westin lives up to its reputation for having the most comfortable beds in the world, because if it weren't for the heavenly clouds of pillows and quilts that enveloped me each night and assured me of a good sleep then I might not have many nice things to say about it." (Yelp). "The bed and linens were heavenly for getting a good night's sleep." (Starwood).

No. 19 Ameritania Hotel, New York City

Just south of Central Park and north of Times Square, the Ameritania puts guests within walking distance to many of New York's top attractions. When you're ready to rest those weary legs, retreat to one of the hotel's 219 rooms, with black-and-white Belgian bedding, leather headboards, blackout shades, and houndstooth carpeting. One TripAdvisor reviewer praises the "comfortable beds" with a caveat: "The bed base is larger than the mattress so don't stub your toes on the legs like I did!"

Sample Reviews: "The bed was also the comfiest bed I have ever slept in!!" (TripAdvisor). "Hotel was clean, bed was extremely comfortable. I gave serious thought to stealing the mattress but that would have been too much of a hassle I think." (TripAdvisor).
