Sofitel has unveiled a first-ever new chapter in its celebrated La Haute Croissanterie journey through an exclusive global collaboration with Nespresso, the world-renowned coffee expert.
Delivered through the Please Disturb curated experience, this elevated in-room dining ritual has been designed to delight the senses and awaken moments of discovery.
A shared vision of elevating everyday moments
Building on the international success of La Haute Croissanterie by Sofitel, the limited-edition collaboration has united two brands through a shared passion for craftsmanship, creativity, and elevating everyday rituals into sensory experiences.
For Sofitel, this collaboration has become 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, savoured fully.
Bringing together Nespresso's coffee 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 has been 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.
Beyond the menu: an in-room 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 has allowed guests to discover three signature La Haute Croissanterie creations, each matched to a complementary Nespresso coffee recipe:
Le Brulé: 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 decaffeinated cappuccino's burnt finish enhances the honeyed accents and golden layers of the croissant, while the foam's lightness contrasts elegantly with its crisp texture. A gourmet and sophisticated combination, inspired by the world of French pastry.
L'Epicé: 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 flavour, 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
Le Tonique: 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 pastry's richness, while the delicate floral notes of orange blossom water echo the fresh orange zest, bringing brightness and elegance to the finish.
Available on demand throughout the day, guests may simply select their chosen pairing via room service to enjoy.
At the final moment, the experience comes to life through a live finishing gesture performed in-room, adding a sense of theatre 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.
Available until the 26th of November, 2026, the Croissant & Coffee Pairing Menu will be available at selected Sofitel properties worldwide.
