La Haute Croissanterie // Sofitel Launches Limited-edition Croissant Collection Inspired By Flowers

Sofitel, pioneer of French luxury hospitality, unveils its very first limited-edition collection of La Haute Croissanterie, one year after the concept's successful launch.

The exclusive collection, La Haute Croissanterie blossoms, features seven indulgent floral-flavoured croissants which pay homage to the tradition and art of elaborate French floral arrangements in hospitality. The buttery delights give guests and locals the opportunity to (re)discover native flavours; from Mexican dahlia to Beninese hibiscus and Korean cherry blossom. Released just in time for springtime, La Haute Croissanterie blossoms can be enjoyed exclusively in seven Sofitel locations globally, for four months.

Inspired by the excellence and beauty of Haute Couture, La Haute Croissanterie concept was successfully launched on World Croissant Day in January 2024 to elevate the art of croissant-making. Rooted in a perfected traditional French recipe and using precise proportions of pure butter and high-quality flour, croissants are enhanced with exclusive local ingredients of the highest quality – from Middle Eastern za'atar to Piemontese hazelnut praline and Korean Gochujang.

By blending traditional French techniques with bold and local flavours, the concept invites guests to savour a cultural and sensory journey, where each bite surprises and delights. Every creation reflects the brand's devotion to refined elegance, while celebrating the unique traditions of each region: an approach that embodies Sofitel’s core values, which highlight local heritage and culture while infusing each destination with its signature French Zest.

Drawing inspiration from the timeless floral artistry of French luxury hospitality, La Haute Croissanterie blossoms marks the brand’s very first limited-release collection, turning croissants into a gastronomic adventure where guests can experience local cultures like never before. Designed by Sofitel’s Pastry Chefs from across the world and crafted using local flowers woven into the buttery layers, the collection pushes the artistry of pastry-making into new realms.
