Sofitel Candle Ritual

Step into the magic of the Sofitel Candle Ritual, a glowing moment celebrated across all Sofitel properties worldwide, drawing inspiration from a tradition dating back to the era of Louis XIV.

Every evening at 6 p.m. Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk invites you to gather in the lobby for The Candle Ritual.  As the sun sets and the day eases into the evening, our team illuminates candles paying homage to the lighting of the streets of Paris, the first of its kind for any major city at the time to illuminate the streets at night.

Pause for a magical moment that captures the elegance, history, and charm of a bygone era right here in the heart of Dubai and embrace the warm glow of the festive season.
