Jul 1, 2008

Due to a bit of fun with my flights, I ended up at the hotel a night early. The only room they had available was a larger one than I had reserved, but having paid the standard rate for it, they upgraded me to the same room for the rest of my stay - very classy. The staff was incredibly... more

We stayed at the Sofitel to spend a weekend in Philly and got a parking plus accomadations package from a Philly tourist site. Pros: - location, location, location: walking distance to Rittenhouse Square and Walnut street shopping and restaurants - valet service: quick and courteous even with the extremely limited drop off space in front of the hotel - feather... more

The visit was a gift for my 14yr old cousin and our stay was wonderful. Our room was not quite ready upon arrival - but the staff immediately offered us complimentary drinks in the bar, which was very much appreciated. The hotel was perfectly situated for our tourist needs - close to train station, undergound blue line, Phlash trolley etc.... more

We loved the accomodations. The service and food in the restaurant was poor,however when we brought this to the managements attention they immediately took care of things. I highly recommend this hotel. The bed and linens are very comfortable. The room was very clean and everyhing was new and modern.. I wish there were more locations more

Was expecting great things from our recent four night stay at this hotel having read the glowing Tripadvisor reviews and having stayed in quite a few Sofitels in Europe, which I have to say were head and shoulders above this American example. Location is very good although narrow streets do not allow much of a view out. Check in was... more

I surprised my spouse with a room at the Sofitel for our 5th wedding anniversary. The Sofitel is a wonderful hotel for a romantic evening. The rooms are romantic in a sophisticated way---well furnished and very inviting. The service at this hotel was very good. Upon learning that we were taking a night away from our toddler for our anniversary,... more

while I would love to say that the Sofitel was exceptional , it was not. We were on the 14th floor, (room 1433) had a nice room, but, the shower was cold!!! My husband had the patience for the water to warm after 5 min. I did not! As with other reviewers, I do agree that the staff could not... more

My family and I spent (wife and 3 year old son) a weekend in Philadelphia and decided to stay at the Sofitel based on reviews. The last time we were in Philly, we stayed at the Four Seasons. This time we booked a suite with a king bed. We drove down from New York and found the hotel to be... more

I was staying in Philadelphia by myself for a weekend as part of an extended business trip and the Sofitel provided me with a wonderful experience. It has an excellent location, right in the middle of the downtown area with all the shops and restaurants that you'd expect no more than a few minutes away. Everyone within the hotel was... more
