Stayed four nights at the Sofitel. Highlights include: Excellent location Spotless rooms Good variety of restaurants all within walking distance The best exercise room we have ever used (all exercise machines were new and had personal TV's & headphones, with plenty of towels) The room's windows could do with some more soundproofing as this was their only downside. Valet parking... more

The Sofitel Philadelphia is a beautiful modern hotel with very friendly staff. Located in downtown Philadelphia close to Market and 17th st. The rooms are gorgeous, each adorned with many modern unique pieces of art which are used light centerpieces at the top of each headboard. The beds in these rooms are absolutely heavenly. Contrary to the norm of having... more

We stayed here after the sofitel in NYC. While the hotel was not nearly as nice or as spacious as the one in NYC, we thought it was again a great value. The room was nice enough although it was quite obvious it was a refurb of an older hotel and the refurb wasn't done as nice as it could... more

I stayed at this hotel for business. I stayed here with other collegues to do some filming for a television show. We had to film at night so our schedules were flipped around. First off, the free internet in my room never worked. I've worked at hotels before and I know when I see 3 cords on the floor, that... more

The one pleasant staff person in this hotel the weekend of 06/09 was the housekeeper. Every other staff person, from the bellhop to the bartender, treated us with indifference boardering on rudeness. Having stayed at many Sofitels around the country, I was amazed at how poorly the service at this one compares to every other one at which I have... more

My Wife, and I, recently had the pleasure of spending our wedding anniversary, at the Sofitel, In Philadelphia. Usually we would go to a shore resort, but decided to stay in Center City, for some fine dinning, and sight seeing. The hotel staff were very attentive to our requests, and the acommodations far surpassed our expectations. From the down pillows,... more

The hotel is very nice and elegant. Rooms were great and very, very clean. The beds are to die for. Once you lay down, that's it! Call it a wrap because you will not want to get out of it. The staff is very professional and kind. Valet parking was not a problem either. Very, very busy hotel and if... more

Stayed here Apr 11 -14 and wasn't disappointed. Paid for an upgraded room and glad we did as it seemed to have the better views - the cheaper rooms appeared to look out over an alley. We had a view of a big church from our 5th floor window. All was as I've come to expect from Sofitel ... comfy... more

Having stayed at a Sofitel in Thailand - I was surprised that this Sofitel wasn't as grand and gorgeous. Don't get me wrong, it was a NICE hotel but not worthy of 5 diamonds or 5 stars. Plasma screen TVs, nice comfy bed, and really nice bathroom. Dark hallways, and for some reason I kept on getting distrubed. Housekeeping kept... more

We chose this hotel for our yearly anniversary getaway after reading the reviews and checking out the website. I am AMAZED that NO WHERE does it mention that dogs roam the halls, elevators and rooms at their owners whims. We love dogs, but when we go away to a luxury hotel and pay a lot of money, we don't expect... more
