General Manager, James Berry, commented on the partnership: "We are delighted to be working in conjunction with No1 Lounges to create an all new VIP park, rest and fly experience, offering supreme levels of comfort to our business and leisure guests using the hotel regularly pre-flight. The partnership allows us to extend the premium travel experience we provide for our guests from the moment they park their car to the time they board the plane."

Sofitel's Park, Rest & Fly is designed with the passenger in mind so we're thrilled to be included in the packages and look forward to welcoming Sofitel guests shortly."
