Hotel de la Coupole Sapa joins MGallery Collection hotels around the world in celebrating World Cocktail Months, inviting guests to experience the bar as a destination in its own right — where mixology, creativity and conviviality come together through thoughtfully curated cocktail and bite pairings.
As part of this global initiative by MGallery Collection, Hotel de la Coupole Sapa brings the brand’s celebrated Art of Mixology to life through a locally inspired pairing concept designed to elevate the ritual of the bar. Reflecting both the spirit of the international campaign and the hotel’s signature French Indochine elegance, each experience is crafted to evoke a strong sense of place while celebrating over 220 years of cocktail culture.
Throughout the season, guests will be part of a wider journey unfolding across more than 127 MGallery Collection hotels worldwide.
Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery and Emblems said “At MGallery Collection, we curate experiences that are rooted in story and shaped by place. World Cocktail Months allows us to celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of our teams around the world, transforming the simple act of enjoying a cocktail into a moment of discovery. By pairing drinks with refined, indulgent bites curated for sharing, we are inviting guests to experience the bar in a more immersive way, and foster meaningful connections”.
Celebrating Connections Through Pairings
This celebration of World Cocktail Months at MGallery Collection is inspired by the evolution of cocktail culture, honouring the defining eras that have shaped mixology over more than two centuries. Each cocktail expression is paired with a complementary bite designed to enhance, complement or elevate its key flavour notes.
At Hotel de la Coupole Sapa, the experience unfolds through a series of thoughtfully curated pairings where cocktails and bites interact in subtle harmony. A bright Ponzu Tuna Taco accompanies the botanical elegance of The Botanist’s Waltz, while the refined intensity of the Prohibition Martini meets the savoury depth of Beef Tartare. Elsewhere, the lively Midnight Fizz Society is balanced by Potato Chips with Sour Cream and Lumpfish Eggs, while the sunlit notes of Sunset Botanica are complemented by Avocado Cream Tart. Tropical inspiration emerges with Tropic Mirage, paired with Vietnamese Peanut Soft Nougat, while Cult of Verde finds its counterpart in warm Crispy Polenta. The journey concludes with Archive of Tomorrow, served alongside Crispy Calamari, bringing the experience to a savoury and satisfying close.
Each pairing creates a dialogue between glass and plate. A crisp bite may echo the brightness of citrus, while savoury depth can balance botanical notes or sparkling finishes. Together, the combinations bring a new dimension to the cocktail experience. The World Cocktail Month experience will be available at Hotel de la Coupole Sapa from May 13th, 2026 until August 31st, 2026, in parallel with participating MGallery Collection properties around the world.
The Bar as Destination
True to MGallery Collection’s philosophy, every property expresses its own atmosphere and local character. At Hotel de la Coupole Sapa – MGallery, this takes shape in a setting infused with haute couture glamour, where opulent interiors meet the vibrant textures and stories of Sapa’s ethnic cultures.
Here, the bar is an intimate, theatrical space where craftsmanship, flavour and storytelling intertwine—both a local destination and part of a global stage.
With every sip and perfectly paired bite, guests are invited to rediscover the bar as a place of connection, where global cocktail heritage meets local identity in a celebration rooted in Sapa.
