This season, Sofitel, a pioneer of French luxury hospitality, unveils a new chapter in its celebrated La Haute Croissanterie journey through an exclusive global collaboration with Nespresso, the world-renowned coffee expert.
Available for three months, from September 1 to November 26, 2026, at 20 selected Sofitel destinations worldwide, the bespoke croissant and coffee combination reimagines one of France’s most cherished pairings. Delivered through the ‘Please Disturb’ curated experience, this elevated in-room dining ritual is designed to delight the senses and awaken moments of discovery.
A shared vision of elevating everyday moments
For this partnership, Sofitel and Nespresso reinvent one of hospitality’s most familiar rituals: the Do Not Disturb. Where guests once shut the world out, the Please Disturb concept invites them to welcome it in: a specially designed door hanger becomes an invitation to a bespoke croissant and coffee pairing, delivered straight to the room. A subtle reversal, full of French Zest, that captures both Sofitel’s spirited elegance and Nespresso’s creative spirit.
For Sofitel, this collaboration is a new expression of its French Zest, magnifying one of France’s most cherished rituals: le café-croissant. For generations, this simple pairing has anchored the French art of living, a quiet daily indulgence enjoyed slowly, savored fully. Bringing together Nespresso expertise with the creativity and savoir-faire of La Haute Croissanterie’s chefs, Sofitel offers a fresh interpretation of this ritual – one that elevates a familiar gesture into a true gastronomic experience. Each pairing is crafted with intention, where the warmth of freshly baked pastry meets the depth and nuance of expertly roasted coffee, awakening the senses and inviting guests to rediscover a moment they thought they already knew. Through its collaboration with Sofitel and La Haute Croissanterie, the partnership offers a playful new expression of Nespresso’s coffee experience, showcasing the quality, exceptional taste, and versatility of its coffees through modern hot and cold recipes. By bringing together Nespresso’s high-quality coffee with flavors inspired by contemporary patisserie, this limited edition transforms a familiar indulgence into an exploration of taste, texture, and contemporary luxury. Each creation is designed to awaken the senses, spark unexpected connections, and offer a moment of indulgence shaped by curiosity and taste.
Beyond the room service: a gastronomic croissant and coffee pairing ritual
Moving beyond traditional room service, Sofitel and Nespresso have created a bespoke pairing ritual that transforms the guest room into a private gastronomic destination, imbued with refined indulgence and expert craftsmanship. Sitting right beside each room’s Nespresso machine, the exclusive pairing menu invites guests to take a break in the comfort of their room and discover three signature La Haute Croissanterie creations, each matched to a complementary Nespresso coffee recipe:
- Le Brûlé pairing: Cappuccino Mousse Brûlée & Crispy Honey Cream Croissant: This pairing celebrates a refined dialogue between almond, the common thread in both creations, and the delicate notes of orange, a harmonious interplay of orange blossom and fresh zest. The cappuccino’s burnt finish enhances the honeyed accents and golden layers of the croissant, while the lightness of the foam contrasts elegantly with its crisp texture. A gourmet and sophisticated combination, inspired by the world of French pastry. The perfect, indulgent ritual to start the day.
- L’Epicé pairing: Oat Spicy Chocolate Coffee & Coffee-Choco Exotic Croissant: This pairing celebrates the timeless alliance of coffee and dark chocolate, reimagined with a vibrant tropical twist. The croissant’s silky coffee-chocolate ganache perfectly echoes the intense espresso aromas of the cup, building a rich, velvety foundation. While the coffee is crafted with oat milk for an elevated, smooth flavor, the lively acidity of passion fruit brings a refreshing contrast to lift the palate, beautifully complemented by a delicate spark of Sichuan pepper for added depth and a lingering aromatic finish. A multi-sensory interlude to experience after lunch or during an afternoon pause.
- Le Tonique pairing: Iced Orange Espresso Tonic & Paris Brest Croissant: Built around the vibrant combination of hazelnut and citrus, this pairing delivers a refreshing yet indulgent tasting experience. The smooth hazelnut praline diplomat cream and roasted hazelnuts of the croissant naturally complement the acidity and bitterness of the iced coffee, creating a rich and harmonious aromatic bridge. The sparkling bitterness of tonic water balances the richness of the pastry, while the delicate floral notes of orange blossom water echo the fresh orange zest, bringing brightness and elegance to the finish. A refreshing and sophisticated treat to savor at the end of the day.
Available on demand throughout the day, guests may simply order their chosen pairing via in-room dining to enjoy. At the delivery, the experience comes to life through a live finishing gesture performed in-room, adding the sense of theater and sensory discovery. Whether it is a brûléed sugar finish, an aromatic citrus mist, or a final grating of dark chocolate and Sichuan pepper, every detail has been designed to invite guests to explore new dimensions of taste in the comfort of their own room.
From the balance of flavor to the glassware, co-branded scenography and final flourish, each pairing has been designed as a complete tasting experience rather than a simple menu item. Each croissant has been conceived to complement the character of its paired coffee recipe, while every Nespresso coffee creation has been crafted to enhance the aromas, textures and flavors of the pastry, capturing the true essence of French art de vivre.
Partnering with Nespresso for this latest limited-edition run of La Haute Croissanterie has allowed us to elevate one of gastronomy’s most signature pairings, the inimitable café-croissant, into a truly harmonious moment. By combining the creativity of our pastry chefs with the expertise of Nespresso’s coffee experts, we have crafted a fresh expression of French art de vivre that guests can enjoy in the privacy of their own room. The final coffee touch adds theatre and flair, celebrating this perfect French pairing and ensuring every element feels uniquely personal.
