Sofitel reopening with buy one night, get a second night free deal

For months, many of us have been mainly confined to our apartments and houses due to the coronavirus pandemic. After spending so much time in one setting, we could all use a change of scenery.

While traveling could increase your risk of illness from COVID-19, taking a staycation in your own city is one option to safely switch up your surroundings.

Also, rooms will have a 48-hour "resting period" between guest stays, followed by cleaning and disinfection. In the rooms, guests will find new "wellness kits" with masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.
