Wanderlust Union client, Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, has launched its new festive collaboration with design house Maison Balzac.
This season, the hotel has transformed into a candlelit Christmas setting featuring a Maison Balzac tree styled by Elise Balzac, adorned with the brand’s cult Pomponette coupes and velvet bows crafted by celebrated Sydney florist Dr Cooper.
Maison Balzac’s signature décor brings a chic design to the lobby, balancing sculptural design with warm, seasonal charm.
The festive program also includes a nightly Candle & Light Ceremony, a nod to French Christmas customs, linking Sydney with Paris, the City of Light. Guests are invited to Club Millésime to experience the ‘Thirteen Desserts’, a selection of sweet treats inspired by Elise’s childhood in the South of France. Featuring citrus, spice, chocolate, nougat and other classic flavours, the offering celebrates the generosity and conviviality of French festive gatherings.
For a more immersive moment, guests can book the Candle Room Experience, where rooms are softly illuminated by hundreds of candles and paired with music from a Devialet speaker. The experience includes a bottle of Pommery Champagne, a Sofitel Candle and a Maison Balzac ‘Everything Plate’ to take home.
This collaboration was dreamt up by Wanderlust Union and highlights creativity and craftsmanship, along with offering guests a sensory-led festive experience in the heart of Sydney.
