You feel welcome at this hotel. As we stayed there for 4 nights, we were upgraded to a larger room. The rooms are very nicely appointed.. There was no coffee maker in the room, and, when we asked at the reception, they promptly provided one. We only had breakfast at the hotel and the food was delicious. The service was... More

I stayed here on my most recent trip to Chicago and was very pleased in all respects. The front desk staff upgraded my room without any special pleading on my part, they switched the duvet for a blanket without asking, etc. Probably the best, most consistently attentive service staff I've encountered for a year. My room was good, as usual.... More

Keep going back to this hotel when on business in Chicago. It's in a great area close to the bottom end of North Michigan Avenue - close to "Mike Ditkas" steak restaurant. The staff are professional and attentive without being "in your face" Brilliant 24 hour gym for those like me - jet lagged. Breakfast is relaxing and a good... More

Didnt eat in the hotel, but had drinks in the bar a couple of times .....nice cocktail list. As with most Sofitel's the service is great. Would recommend this hotel for a... More

Perfect location to quickly access Michigan Ave, fun night life, and wonderful restaurants, all in walking distance. The trains and buses are right there to jump on to get to museums within 25 minutes. We only wish Sofitel offered a Continental breakfast. Didn't want to pay $16 for a stack of pancakes! More

Stayed at the Sofitel Chicago during Easter weekend. The location was fantastic, only 2 blocks from the John Hancock Center ( Starbucks on the way for the morning java fix). The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the misfortune of dropping a diamond earring in the bathroom sink one night before going out. Upon notifying the Front Desk,... More
