“CHICAGO SOFITEL”

Last fall we stayed at the Sofitel in Washington. We found the room and restaurant to be superior to the Sofitel in Chicago. The service at both hotels was very good. The room in Chicago was small and the restaurants menu was limited and over priced.

“Great location, very clean, bed very soft”

This really is an excellent hotel! It is clean, perfect location, easy to access, close to attractions. The curb service and bellmen are awesome - definitely made us feel welcome and cared for. The bed, however, was exceptionally soft. I didn't sleep well and had a sore back the next morning. Thankfully, shower is wonderful, bathroom was spotless. Service at... More

“Just the right amount of luxury and perfect location!”

Reviewed May 14, 2013 NEW

My first time at the Sofitel. I took my son and a friend for a Bulls game. The hotel is fantastic. Great, attentive staff. Very nice rooms. And the location is perfect. 3 blocks from Water Tower Place and 4 blocks from the Rush Street bars. Highly recommended.

“Service has been much better in the past”

There were service and billing issues. While I eventually received assistance from a day manager (after reaching out 2 times to a different manager) the assistant at the front desk said they were "short staffed". Really? I have to say that I usually love to go to Sofitel Water Tower over other hotels in the area, but NOT this trip... More
