DINING
|
|
La Riviera - An expanse of white tablecloths with sea foam-green leather chairs and red stemware greets diners at this restaurant. The emphasis is on French cuisine, from the crepes at breakfast to the soupe de poissons (fish soup) served at lunch and dinner. A separate area within the restaurant houses a chef's table perfect for small groups. During pleasant weather, guests can dine outside on the patio by the pool. Le Petit Marche - An on-site bakery is a signature of Sofitel hotels. At this one, guests can buy pastries, fresh French bread, and other sweets, along with espresso drinks. Seating is provided at a handful of bistro tables, or carry-out service is available. Le Bar - The lobby bar offers a limited appetizer menu and premium drinks. Guests sit at the granite-countered bar or at one of the tables arrayed in front of the glass wall facing the pool and Blue Lagoon.

AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: International business travelers have been making the Sofitel their home base since 1986, largely because of the hotel’s prime location in the Blue Lagoon business park and near the airport. Uniformed porters usher guests into a bustling, Art Deco-inspired lobby with marble floors, brightly colored modern furniture and fresh tropical flowers. A wall of windows facing the lagoon behind the hotel provides plenty of natural light to the multi-story lobby and lounge area. Amenity highlights: The French owners of the hotel place a premium on high-quality food in the restaurant and attached French bakery, which stocks fresh pastries, cookies, and breads. An electronic kiosk in the gift shop prints personal copies of almost any international newspaper in the world; the gift shop itself carries candles, soaps, and other merchandise. A fitness center with free weights and exercise machines and an on-site lighted tennis court is available. Insider tip: The Doral Golf Course, home to the famous Blue Monster, is just 10 minutes away and open to the public; transportation may be arranged through the concierge.
