Cheers to 60 Years! at Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort
Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort’s dazzling diamond jubilee event marked the luxury global hospitality brand’s 60 years in the industry. It was a night to see and be seen. Melanie Rosettenstein has all the details.
With events for Sofitel Hotels & Resorts’ 60th birthday spanning the globe, Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort celebrated in sophisticated style with an elegant evening of starry nights and candlelight. First opening its doors in Strasbourg France in 1964 with a vision to combine French elegance with the art of exceptional hospitality, the Sofitel brand soon became synonymous with luxury and elegance. Six decades later, the vision has proven to be a success with a 124 hotels around the globe, equating to almost 32,000 rooms under the Sofitel banner.
In 2016, the Hastings Street hotel transitioned from being the Sheraton Noosa Resort & Spa to the Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort that we know and love today. Sofitel’s global excellence in hospitality was commemorated in Noosa with 60 special guests for Diamond la Nuit, a night of unforgettable elegance, timeless music, and glamour.
Commencing with an intimate, elegantly-lit performance by a string quartet, the immersive experience also included a tribute to the legendary band Queen and heartfelt thanks for all who have contributed to Sofitel’s success. Guests enjoyed commemorative ‘Sofitel 60’ Champagne by Pommery complemented by food stations poolside with lashings of fresh seafood and Noosa Beach House’s award-winning chefs bringing the flavours and the theatre of cooking on the grill.
Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort General Manager Mark Wilkinson expressed how wonderful it had been to celebrate this milestone in signature Sofitel style.
“It has been great to bring Sofitel to Noosa, a place that perfectly complements our brand,” he said.
“Over the past few years, we’ve seen both Sofitel and Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort truly hit their stride.
“I’m incredibly proud of our hotel team who have come from all over Australia and the world, to create something special here and celebrating this milestone with so many locals and regular guests made the night truly unforgettable.”
