Design and Ambience

Located in the heart of the hotel lobby, with bold geometric forms visible on the ceiling, an ivory color palette, curving furniture and smooth polished surfaces, the art deco theme is prominent in Bijou Patisserie. The marble counter brimming with an array of delicate pastries and other delicious treats truly takes center stage, making Bijou the jewel of the hotel and guests’ daily indulgence.

Candle Ritual

While savoring Sofitel’s trendy happy hour L’Apéro Chic at Bijou, our guests will also enjoy a daily candle ritual. Taking place every day at sunset in every Sofitel Hotel & Resort around the world, the candle ritual marks the transition from day to night, shifting from bright daylight to a cozy and intimate ambiance around the hotel. To complement the design and atmosphere of Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, the hotel Ambassadors dress in beautiful clothing inspired by Ancient Egypt and enchant guests with a serene dance while lighting up the lobby.
