La Nuit by Sofitel

June 2019 | Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila exemplifies how to live the French way as it brings back La Nuit by Sofitel (The Night), a global signature event concept highlighting the glamour of Parisian nightlife through music, mixology, and design at the iconic Grand Plaza Ballroom on June 12, 2019.

In collaboration with MEGA, aptly hailed the Philippine’s Best Fashion Magazine, Sofitel plays host to the country’s top influencers, celebrities, industry leaders and game changers in the highly-anticipated NewPH Ball celebrating Filipino pride. More than the commemoration of Philippine Independence, Pride Month likewise falls this month of July as the LGBTQ+ community celebrates freedom and solidarity in an ever-dynamic cultural environment. Featuring a five-course menu that showcases a playful fusion of Filipino and French cuisine, Sofitel’s culinary artisans present Lechon Sisig Salad for amuse-bouche; Adobo Chicken Liver Parfait Terrine with Garlic Chips and Salad Greens; Crispy Skin Lapu Lapu with Crab Empanada, Pea Puree and Champagne Veloute; and Braised Short Ribs of Beef Caldereta, Gratin Potato and Spring Vegetables for mains; and to cap the dinner, Calamansi Tart with Lemon Broken Meringue for dessert. Live musical performances by the country’s international pride—KZ Tandingan from the Chinese musical television program Singer 2018 and Aicelle Santos from the West End revival of Miss Saigon—serenade the discerning guests.

Following the formal gala, the evening is revved up with the opening of the official afterparty—La Nuit by Sofitel. The other half of the ballroom is transformed into an exciting party venue transitioning guests from a timelessly elegant banquet hall to an edgy nightlife scene set by spectacular LED lighting, an opening live performance by one of the metro’s hippest musical acts—Careless Manila, DJ Nix Damn P spinning the newest beats, and signature La Nuit by Sofitel cocktails named after the most popular Parisian landmarks such as Paris La Nuit, Sacré-Cœur, Champs Elysees, and Bastille.

As part of Sofitel’s global branding campaign to Live the French Way and in keeping with Accor Group’s commitment to equality and inclusion, this year’s La Nuit by Sofitel is definitely a celebration of unity in diversity while embodying the allure of French style and art de vivre (art of living). Created 5 years ago, La Nuit was launched in Marrakech and has then been held in several cities around the world including Paris, Cannes, Budapest, Moscow, Bangkok, Singapore, Los Angeles, Sydney, Dubai, and Rio de Janeiro to name a few. The event was first held in Manila in 2016.
