Nestled on the eastern Crescent of The Palm, the sheer grandeur of Sofitel evokes the essence of a resort reminiscent of those found in the Americas. A majestic entrance leads to an expansive lobby adorned with captivating water features on either side. The décor exudes opulence, with a “green wall” alive with real tropical flora growing along the back of the hotel. The service is both efficient and welcoming, and the staff is abundant to cater to the guests’ needs. However, the layout can be a tad confusing in some areas – a few additional signs would be helpful, especially when navigating to their spa, an experience you won’t want to miss.
