Indulge in a Unique Coffee and Croissant Experience
The Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial & Spa and Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses are reinventing the classic café-croissant experience with their exclusive offering, 'Please Disturb,' available from September 1 to November 26, 2026. This limited-edition menu is the result of a global collaboration between La Haute Croissanterie and Nespresso, designed to elevate the simple act of ordering coffee and a croissant in your room into a delightful gastronomic affair.
'Please Disturb' invites guests to explore three distinct pairings that highlight the harmonious relationship between pastries and coffee. Each pairing is meticulously crafted to provide a sensory experience that transcends the usual routine of enjoying breakfast in bed.
Discover the Three Exquisite Pairings
The first pairing, named 'L’Épicé,' features a Spiced Chocolate Coffee served alongside an Exotic Chocolate-Coffee Croissant. The silky and intense chocolate ganache mirrors the rich flavors of an espresso. Using oat milk enhances the coffee's smoothness, while the addition of passion fruit introduces a vibrant acidity and freshness that beautifully contrasts with the deep chocolate notes. A hint of Sichuan pepper adds complexity, resulting in a well-balanced experience of intensity, fruitiness, and a spicy finish.
The second offering, 'Le Brûlé,' takes a more pastry-focused approach. The Burnt Cappuccino Mousse is paired with a Crispy Honey Croissant, where almonds serve as a connecting thread. The notes of orange—from orange blossom to fresh zest—extend the honeyed undertones of the croissant. The toasted finish of the decaffeinated cappuccino adds a toasted note that emphasizes the golden layers of the pastry, while the lightness of the mousse contrasts beautifully with the crunchiness of the croissant. This pairing artfully plays with sweetness, texture, and citrus nuances.
Finally, 'Le Tonique' shifts away from hot coffee to present a fresher interpretation. The Iced Orange Tonic Espresso accompanies a Paris-Brest Croissant filled with diplomat cream and roasted hazelnuts. The indulgence of the pastry is counterbalanced by the sparkling bitterness of the tonic and the acidity of the iced espresso. Floral notes of orange and orange blossom enhance the overall experience, culminating in a lighter finish. This pairing is thoughtfully crafted to maintain the richness of the Paris-Brest while imparting a more vibrant profile.
Beyond the exquisite recipes, 'Please Disturb' is about delivering an unforgettable room service experience. Each pairing is served directly to the guest's room or suite, complete with specialized glassware and presentation. The final touch, executed on-site, enhances the moment: caramelized sugar, aromatic citrus mist, or grated dark chocolate with Sichuan pepper are added just before serving, enriching the overall experience.
This attentiveness to the final gesture is central to the experience, transforming a simple order of coffee and pastry into a delightful tasting journey without adhering to a strict schedule. The menu is perfect for a leisurely wake-up, an afternoon indulgence, or a sweet treat as the day winds down.
This limited edition is available at 20 selected Sofitel hotels worldwide. In Marrakech and Rabat, local teams are at the helm, with Btissam Albanouia, the pastry chef at Sofitel Marrakech Palais Impérial & Spa, leading the initiative as the ambassador of La Haute Croissanterie for Morocco and Southern Europe.
"Coffee and croissant are such familiar pleasures that for this menu, we wanted to add a special touch without complicating it," says Btissam Albanouia. Laurent Garrido, the new general manager at Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses, underscores the appeal of the experience: "We are delighted that our guests can enjoy this morning ritual in a new and enhanced way, from the comfort of their room, at any time of the day." The 'Please Disturb' offering is available upon request through room service, whether for an early wake-up, a midday treat, or a last indulgence before nightfall.
