As the festive season draws near, Sofitel Dubai introduces a sensory escape designed to offer tranquillity and connection. The Candle Experience, available across 21 Sofitel properties worldwide, invites you to experience the festive season in a more intimate, reflective way. This new offering provides a calm and meaningful way to celebrate, moving away from long-haul escapes.
The Candle Experience: A Sensory Escape Through Light, Sound, and Scent

The Candle Experience is a reimagination of Sofitel’s signature Candle Ritual, inspired by the 1860s Paris tradition when the city earned its nickname, the “City of Lights.” Upon entering the room, the softly flickering LED candles invite you in a soothing and magical atmosphere. The experience also has a festive playlist curated in partnership with Devialet, an acclaimed acoustic engineer. Moreover, the signature scent of bergamot, sandalwood, and white rose transforms the room into a sanctuary for reflection and connection.
Sound in The Candle Experience

The Candle Experience takes you on an immersive sensory journey with a carefully curated festive soundscape. Using newly crafted speakers by Devialet, known for their high-resolution sound and deep bass. The music envelops the room, creating a peaceful and festive atmosphere. The sound is more than just background music; it’s a tangible part of the experience, helping deepen the sense of relaxation and stillness. A bespoke ensuite playlist offers rejuvenating moments to unwind fully in the comforting embrace of sound.
Luxurious Additions to Enhance the Atmosphere

To further enrich The Candle Experience, Sofitel provides you with additional luxurious moments. You can choose from candle-infused aromatherapy treatments to in-room dining by candlelight. Moreover, you can also take home a special gift, either Sofitel’s signature Essence de Sofitel candle or a Sofitel x Bernardaud Votivelight. These gifts ensure that the warmth and serenity of The Candle Experience stay with you long after your departure.
Sofitel’s Invitation with The Candle Experience

“The Candle Experience is Sofitel’s invitation to experience luxury as a sanctuary, a moment of peace and presence during one of the most meaningful times of the year,” said Nicolas Gronier, Global Brand Experience Leader for Sofitel. With more travelers opting for staycations or local retreats, The Candle Experience offers the perfect environment to reconnect with loved ones, find inner peace, and embrace the festive spirit in a truly special way.
The Candle Experience is now available for bookings starting mid-November. Given that only one room per hotel can be transformed into The Candle Experience each night. So, you have to book early to ensure your place in this unforgettable journey of light, sound, and scent.
