We stayed at the Sofitel over the weekend and had a great time. We arrived around noon and were able to check-in to our room, #601, a corner room overlooking 17th Street. The room was huge with 2 full walls of nothing but windows. The bed was probably the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on in a hotel and the... More

Booked a one night stay and enjoyed every second of it. The Luxury Room we booked was huge (compared to a recent NYC hotel room we stayed in) Bathroom was big and clean and modern. The bed was very good with what looked like a brand new mattress. Room Service was quick, friendly, and not terribly expensive. Check-in/Check-out was fast... More

The Sofitel is in just the right spot if you want to be near the center city Philadelphia action. Many of the best restaurants are nearby, as is Rittenhouse Square,the Academy of Music and other music venues, and many of the higher end shops. Our room was large, even though we got the standard room, and was tastefully decorated. The... More

I was in this hotel attending a conference. It was wonderful. Bottled water every night which is great for us folks visiting from Europe that have problems with tap water. Hotel is within walking distance to many places. My only complaint would be that the bed was a little wore out and probably needs a new mattress. More

My husband and I needed a quick escape from daily life, so we booked one night at the Sofitel with the Magnifique Romance package, and it was wonderful!! The hotel and bar are beautiful, and as always, the staff is super nice and accommodating. With the romance package, we got a bottle of champagne, chocolates and strawberries, and breakfast the...

Stayed 3 nights while on business in Philadelphia. Location is excellent. Walking distance to shopping, restaurants and major tourist attractions (Liberty Bell Centre, Philadelphia Museum of Art) Service is outstanding and the rooms are quite spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Would definately recommend to anyone needing a downtown location while in Philadelphia. No complaints at all! More

The Sofitel is located in the middle of downtown Philly, couple blocks away from City Hall and Rittenhouse Square. Everything you need from shopping to eateries are within walking distance, it's a perfect location! You can stroll along Walnut and Chestnut streets for endless options of everything that you need. I was very pleased with my room; very spacious king... More

We came in from the suburbs for a night in Philly to celebrate my in-laws' 40th anniversary. The Sofitel had a great rate and was in a great location with many bars and restaurants nearby. The bed was extremely comfortable. My wife appreciated the large bathroom and conveniently placed light switches. Nice TV, but too many analog channels to maximize... More

We stayed at the Sofitel for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent from the moment we checked in (the staff informed us that our room was upgraded to a Junior Suite since I noted it was our anniversary when I booked online). We found the hotel to be very clean,... More

Having stated at the Hyatt before and being incredibly disappointed I have chosen to 'vote with my feet' and stay at a different hotel. The Sofitel in Philadelphia is an excellent choice! From the moment you walk in you're made to feel very welcome. The rooms are big and the bathrooms stocked with top end goodies. What makes staying here... More
