Earlier this month Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square, part of AccorHotels hosted the official kick off for Philadelphia Gay Pride Month. The Sofitel Philadelphia rasied a giant inclusive version of the Gay Pride Flag which hangs proudly outside the hotel on 17th Street. Inside, neighbors, guests and visitors are invited to visit the Hall of LGBTQ Flags Exhibition featuring six individual LGBTQ flags flying high above the lobby to celebrate the diversity of the local and hotel LGBTQ community.

The raising of the flags coincides with a month-long benefit to support the William Way LGBT Community Center. Back and bigger than ever, Sofitel Philadelphia and Brittany Lynn’s Drag Mafia Present Sofitel’s Pride Drag Tea featuring the Sofitel famous tea-service with an entertaining and drag twist. This year look for performances EVERY single weekend, with tickets still left for the June 25, 2022 show. A portion of proceeds from the Drag Tea will go to support the capital campaign and operations at William Way LGBT Community Center.
