Marc Pichot – Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile

Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile stands as a refined expression of French art de vivre, seamlessly woven into the cultural and creative fabric of Montreal. Located on Sherbrooke Street West—recently named one of the world’s coolest streets by Time Out—the hotel places guests at the center of the city’s most vibrant cultural, academic, and commercial landmarks, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, McGill University, and the Bell Centre. 

The property has been led since August 2015 by Marc Pichot, General Manager and an accomplished hotelier with more than two decades of international experience within the Accor Group. Marc joined the hotel following his role as Hotel Manager at Sofitel New York, bringing with him a career that began in 1998 at Sofitel Minneapolis and expanded across leadership positions within Sofitel, Novotel, and Mercure brands worldwide. A graduate of Lycée Hôtelier de Chamalières and holder of a Certificate in Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management from Cornell University, he combines operational rigor with long-term strategic vision. 

Marc’s leadership style is people-centric, visionary, and performance-driven. He fosters a culture where collaboration, empowerment, and continuous development inspire teams to consistently exceed guest expectations. Under his guidance, the hotel has achieved measurable improvements in guest satisfaction, employee engagement, and financial performance, alongside a successful renovation that repositioned the property at the top of its market. 

His vision of modern luxury emphasizes authenticity, personalization, and emotional connection. This is expressed through tailored service, thoughtful technology integration, and meaningful partnerships with global luxury houses, cultural institutions, and local suppliers. Signature collaborations, such as Air France culinary partnerships and the acclaimed Renoir en Rose event, extend the hotel’s influence beyond its walls. 

With 256 elegantly designed rooms and suites, celebrated dining at RENOIR, NINI Salon à Cocktails, wellness spaces, and a strong commitment to sustainability and inclusivity, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile continues to set a benchmark for contemporary luxury hospitality—where people, purpose, and performance align for lasting impact.
