Sofitel introduces Le Vestiaire by Cordelia de Castellane

A new chapter for Sofitel style

Inspired by the spirit of Paris, Sofitel introduces Le Vestiaire, a global wardrobe created as a statement of style and self-expression. Created in collaboration with French designer Cordelia de Castellane, the global collection blends couture sensibility with everyday sophistication - a mix-and-match expression of elegance designed for Sofitel’s world of modern luxury.

The new collection, Le Vestiaire, empowers Sofitel’s 25,000 employees from Front Office to Housekeeping to proudly dress with individuality and ease, reflecting the effortless chic of French style.

From refined tailoring to pieces enriched with Sofitel’s hand-drawn prints and monogram, the collection weaves quiet identity into every detail. Designed for inclusivity and ease, it balances modern comfort with French elegance, adapting seamlessly to cultures, climates and hotel personalities across the globe.

Sofitel’s new Le Vestiaire will begin rolling out in hotels worldwide from the end of 2026.

• 45 pieces, tested with 110 employees worldwide
• 25 positions
• 25,000 employees
• 120 hotels

One Vestiaire. Thousands of expressions.

Comprising more than 45 pieces and a curated selection of refined accessories, Le Vestiaire captures the creative, cosmopolitan spirit of Paris, where elegance is never uniform and individuality is always in style. Designed with versatility at its core, the collection enables each Sofitel hotel, resort, and residence, from Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk to Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi and Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua, to curate a wardrobe fitting the local culture while maintaining Sofitel’s signature French elegance.

With silhouettes designed to adapt to each culture, climate, and character, Le Vestiaire offers one wardrobe with thousands of possibilities. Sofitel employees are empowered to curate their own “vestiaire”, freely mixing and matching a range of versatile pieces to create silhouettes suiting different body shapes, personal preferences, and levels of comfort - a true celebration of individuality across the Sofitel world. For example, the Gilet Cintré* is available in a sleeveless version and can be effortlessly paired with either pleated trousers or a midi skirt. More than attire, this mix-and-match collection reflects Sofitel’s belief that true luxury is personal.

Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, MGallery and Emblems, said:

“We are entering a moment when Sofitel has fully regained its pride, at a time when so many of our hotels are being beautifully renovated - such as Sofitel New York, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile, and many more - and when new Sofitel properties are opening around the world as true flagships of the brand. It was essential to me that our teams - the very essence of luxury - could also benefit from this new era of beauty. It felt only natural that they should shine more than ever. I am delighted by this collaboration with Cordelia de Castellane, who has perfectly captured the spirit of a refined, timeless wardrobe, celebrating French elegance and luxury.”

Haute couture sensitivity meets hospitality.

Iconic French designer Cordelia de Castellane channels timeless Parisian style in Le Vestiaire, shaped by a career steeped in French couture and the exceptional savoir-faire of the ateliers where she perfected her craft. A true Parisienne with a cosmopolitan spirit, de Castellane’s lifestyle and curiosity for other cultures continually inspire her work.

Designing her first global wardrobe was both a creative challenge and an intimate collaboration. Immersing herself in workshops and fittings with Sofitel’s Heartists, she explored comfort, movement, and personal expression, ensuring the collection resonates across diverse silhouettes, cultures, and roles.

Timeless cuts, tactile fabrics, and expressive hues define the collection, with each piece crafted to move seamlessly between formality and ease. The result is a modern interpretation of the French art de vivre, refined, spirited, and beautifully attuned to the people who wear it.

A harmonious palette of navy blue, coconut milk, beige, and denim blue anchors the collection, chosen for its timeless appeal and its ability to complement every complexion and environment. Tailored silhouettes are enhanced by expressive accessories - including belts and scarf brooches - that subtly feature the Cultural Link, Sofitel’s iconic logo symbolizing a bridge between cultures.

In parallel, the graphic Sofitel logo is reinterpreted through a series of exclusive monogram prints, woven into scarves, shirts, dresses, and ties, transforming the brand’s visual signature into a refined and luxurious design language.



Cordelia de Castellane, French fashion designer, said:

“For this project, I didn’t want to create uniforms, I wanted to design a vestiaire. The idea is simple: pick and choose a look that fits the right place and the right position. Most importantly, I knew I didn’t want to lock people into a specific uniform. Sofitel is a great French brand that has set out on an adventure and has truly established a legacy.”

“This collaboration felt very natural because we share the same values: a love of beauty, attention to detail and a deep respect for craftsmanship and comfort. Together, we created a vestiaire that speaks the language of Sofitel’s luxury hospitality: warm, refined and effortlessly French.”

“Fashion is never neutral. It influences our mood every day. I wanted these pieces to feel positive and reassuring, clothes that support people emotionally as much as visually, and that reflect the warmth and elegance of Sofitel’s hospitality.”

“What I love about Sofitel is its ability to honour its French heritage while constantly evolving. This collaboration was about finding that balance, by creating a modern vestiaire that respects tradition, craftsmanship and the elegance that has become part of the brand’s DNA.”

“Designing for this collaboration meant I was able to translate that luxurious, French spirit of Sofitel into silhouettes that are both timeless and contemporary, with a sense of ease that reflects the way people truly move and work.”

Highlights from Le Vestiaire

La Saharienne / The Saharan Jacket

A modern take on the classic safari jacket, tailored with discreet structure and Sofitel branded buttons. Its cinched waist and fluid silhouette bring effortless Parisian chic to both city and resort settings. A unisex basic and a maximum of comfort.

Le gilet cintré / The tailored vest

Sharp yet feminine, this sculpted waistcoat blends couture precision with everyday ease. Its fitted waist and clean lines create a polished look whether worn layered or on its own.

La robe iconique / The Iconic dress

Sofitel’s signature midi dress pairs tailored shoulders with a pleated skirt that moves with grace. Finished with the signature belt - with the Cultural Link buckle - it’s chic, modern and beautifully versatile.

L’imprimé monogramme / The Sofitel monogram print

A true signature of the Sofitel universe, this monogram has been meticulously hand-drawn, echoing the “cousu-main” - tailor made - service at the heart of the brand. Its delicate lines bring a couture touch to every silhouette, infusing a sense of uniqueness. More than a pattern, it is an expression of French elegance - subtle, timeless, and unmistakably Sofitel.

Luxury designed to last.

Guided by Sofitel’s Committed Luxury philosophy, Le Vestiaire is crafted with longevity in mind. Each piece balances elegance with endurance, designed to stand the test of time both stylistically and physically. Timeless cuts, durable fabrics, and meticulous attention to detail ensure the wardrobe remains relevant season after season.

Sustainability is approached as a luxury value, not a compromise. Materials are selected for their quality, breathability, and durability, while repairability is integrated into the design process, extending the life of each garment. From the first sketch to the final stitch, every element reflects a modern vision of French craftsmanship - where responsibility and refinement go hand in hand, and where lasting beauty is the ultimate expression of luxury.
