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

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

We didn't spend much time in the room and we weren't their long but that doesn't take away the positive feeling I got from the Hotel. Everyone who works their... More

I’ll start off with the good. Friendly front desk service here. Great location. The elevators – they need to fix the problem we all had with our security keys making the elevators actually work.
