Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk

La Haute Croissanterie

Where Life Meets Layers of Flavor

This season, embark on a journey where classic French pastry meets the soul of the Middle East. La Haute Croissanterie is Sofitel’s global celebration of the croissant, reimagined in Dubai with local ingredients.

La Haute Croissanterie

It began on 30 January 2024, as Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk proudly introduced La Haute Croissanterie to the region in celebration of World Croissant Day. From that moment on, mornings became more than a ritual, they became a discovery. Each croissant is a delicate masterpiece, mastering the art of perfectly flaky, buttery layers while infusing every creation with regional ingredients and unexpected flavors. Every bite is a celebration of innovation and indulgence.

From Bijou with Love and Layers

Looking to surprise a loved one or treat yourself to something truly special? La Haute Croissanterie collection is available for purchase at Bijou Patisserie. Beautifully presented and delicately crafted, enjoy a moment of indulgence at home, or during Bijou's award-winning afternoon tea service.
