 Sofitel, with over 200 prestige hotels
 worldwide, has been chosen by the readers of Business Traveler magazine as
 the "Best Hotel Chain in Europe" in it's 2006 Best in Business Travel
 Awards, beating out frontrunners Marriott and Starwood Hotels for the top
 slot.
 Sofitels around the world embrace a unique appreciation for the art de
 vivre a la francaise (French art of living), which is embodied in the
 hotels' high standards of service, alluring design, gourmet cuisine and
 thoughtful amenities. This focus is strengthened by relationships with
 renowned French personalities, including fashion designer Jean-Charles de
 Castalbajac, interior designer Pierre Yves Rochon and Michelin-starred
 chefs.
 Located in key business destinations throughout Europe, including
 London, Paris, Budapest and Brussels, Sofitel offers custom made,
 ultra-plush SoBed(TM) bedding for a restful night's sleep; wireless and/or
 high speed Internet access; 24-hour business and fitness centers; quiet
 library spaces and upscale French and international restaurants. Frequent
 guests can also choose to enjoy the benefits of the Sofitel Privilege
 Loyalty Card, which allows them to earn points towards upgrades, free room
 nights and other special promotions from Sofitel and its partners.
 Sofitel is already present in most key business cities around the
 world, and will continue to expand its network in 2007. Currently, Sofitel
 is in the midst of its largest-ever expansion of the brand in China and the
 Asia Pacific region, with new properties slated to open in Beijing, Cairo,
 Dubai and beyond.
