The Sofitel is one of my favorite moderately high end hotel chains and this one is no exception. Came here for a couple of nights for a business meeting and the check-in was smooth, with a nice room to come to after a long flight. Great bed with nice linens and towels. Small sitting area in their standard rooms and... More

My wife and I live close to Philadelphia but for a recent birthday/Mother's Day weekend getaway while my mom watched our kids, I chose the Philadelphia Sofitel as our destination. It was a perfect overnight stay with a clean, well appointed and comfortable room. Room service breakfast was very nice and the staff impeccably mannered. The only regret was that... More

This was one of the best views Ive ever had. I was here on the way to new York city and this was the went here to a suite, which had jazz music playing. It had a great view of one liberty place, my favorite skyscraper. We also had a diverse view of the rest of center city, anywhere from... More

Let me say upfront that I have never stayed in this hotel, so I can't say anything about their rooms and service staff. Maybe they are great, I will never know. Last year I had booked a junior suite for our anniversary, but then something happened at my husband's office 2 days before our planned trip, and he would not... More

I had an excellent stay at the Sofitel last week (May 2012). The rooms were quite spacious for a city hotel. I ordered room service for two nights during my stay and the food was very good. The room service prices are also reasonable compared to other similar hotels. They offer free coffee (a Lavazza single brew espresso maker) and... More

This hotel is very nice and the staff very welcoming upon our arrival. The location can't be beat and it was easy to get to all of the sights. The bathroom was spacious and pretty with marble vanity. Try to get the package with the free parking and free breakfast buffet as this is a great value. We were surprised... More

My husband and I stayed here in December 2011. The hotel looked very nice and clean... but then we had a bed bug event. We woke up at 4 AM to find a bed bug crawling across the white down comforter and there were little specks of blood on the bed sheets. We checked the sheets and found more in... More

My husband and I visited in late March as part of a job interview process. The staff was wonderful from the start; the lobby bartender was great and hanging out in front of the fire place was the perfect end to the first day. Recommendations for local restaurants were fantastic, and the front desk staff even thought to ask how... More

From the front desk with Anna to the helpful William in the conciege area, this hotel has it done right. They did not hesitate to change to hypoallergic pillows and to put on a top sheet on the bed. The early morning coffee is a plus. The room size is great and the location a plus as there are several... More
