Filming & Photoshoot Policy
Photography and videography (including iPhone photography) for commercial reasons is not permitted at Sofitel Adelaide without formal written permission from the hotel’s management team. Commercial includes where a product or service is being promoted by a company or influencer.
Sofitel Adelaide gives precedence to guest experience, comfort and privacy, and prioritises staff privacy, so a strict policy is in place against the use of our facilities for unauthorised photography or videography. These include pre-nuptial shoots, weddings shoots, engagement shoots, product or service promotional shoots, modelling/fashion whether taken with a mobile device or professional photographer or videography equipment. In addition, photography that will be posted on any public sites that includes staff members of Sofitel or their contractors.
Although guests are permitted to shoot for personal use in the privacy of their room and public areas of the hotel, they must respect the privacy and comfort of other guests in the area, and the privacy of Sofitel staff.
Professional photography and videography will only be permitted if hotel management has given approval and written permission prior to the shoot. Photographers or videographers will be accompanied by a Sofitel representative at all times. All requests for photography and videography will be approved subject to occupancy, availability and type of content.
Requests to use any area of the hotel as a location for commercial photo-shoots or filming as well as special occasion/wedding shoots should be directed to the Marketing team. These photo/video shoots may be subjected to fees and a strict schedule which must be approved by management.
