The French-owned Sofitel SO has brought a dash of Parisian chic to downtown Singapore with the opening of a new hotel in a landmark heritage building on Robinson Road near Raffles Place in the heart of the CBD. Developed by the Singapore-based MIAJA Design Group led by French interior designer Isabelle Miaja, with unmistakable floushes courtesy of Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld, the 134-room Sofitel SO Singapore combines Gallic style with Singapore's modernity and features all sorts of OTT embellishments, including a gold-tiled rooftop pool, in-room iPad minis and couture-clad front of house 'ambassadors'. Sofitel SO Singapore is our choice to host L'heure du Thé Singapore fundraiser event for its signature of excellent service and food. It is also definitely one to look out for as a voted best new-hotel in the lion city.
Parisian tea rooms' history is intimately tied to the history of the Ladurée family. It all began in 1862, when Louis Ernest Ladurée, a miller from the southwest of France, founded a bakery in Paris at 16 rue Royale. In 1871, while Baron Haussmann was giving Paris a "new face", a fire in the bakery opened the opportunity to transformation it into a pastry shop. The decoration of the pastry shop was entrusted to Jules Cheret, a famous turn-of-the-century painter and poster artist.
The store at Ladurée Singapore has an interior of mint colour with chandeliers that are specially imported. A cloudy, sky blue wallpaper ceiling features a dreamy look to the overall look. Walls are lined with shelves of Ladurée merchandise from teas, jams and more collectibles and is a haven of all things beautiful and delightful one would think of Parisian sweet desserts. Ladurée Singapore has generously provided guests at L'heure du Thé event vouchers in gift bags.
In 1949, The Alliance Française de Singapour was founded by a group of French-speaking teachers headed by Paul Clerc. There were only 20 students and 50 members. Conversation classes were held twice a week in the evening and there was only one French language class and no teaching material. The Alliance was considered more of a social club than a language school.
Today it has since been very well established with its French language courses and have organised for the first-time ever an Open-House day for children and an International Women’s Day celebration in 2014. Executive Director of Alliance Francaise de Singapour, Ms Claire-Lise Dautry will be speaking about the French language at L'heure du Thé event.
