What People Are Saying About Sofitel Philadelphia

Citysearch
The Scene – Upon entering this former site of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, guests take note of the unusual marble and granite floors--designed to resemble a Shaker quilt--that lead up to the blue-granite reception desk. Such details are a precursor to the Shaker traditions reflected throughout the hotel's interior, with its soothing neutral shades and variety of cherry-wood accents. – – The Details – The 300 rooms and 30 suites break from the hotel's Shaker decor to combine classic European style with modern comforts, such as air-conditioning, minibars and more.…

Wonderful Stay
by gripdxd at Citysearch
I stayed here recenty for a 1 night stay and had a great experience with my boyfriend. The room and it's amenties were super nice. The bathroom was amazing, I just wish I had bought bubble bath. We had cocktails at the lounge and it was a chill atmosphere. We had also ordered late night room service and had the Philly Lunchbox, it came with a pint of Ben & Jerrys, it was a sweet surprise..we were expecting just a few scoops. OH and love the big flat screen TV! They held our bags as we checked out and toured the city and the valet guys offered my boyfriend coffee too when he overheard him saying he needed a cup as well. Great experience and very pleased.
- Pros: Bed, Bath, Flat Screen, Big Room, Service
- Cons: It can be pricey, but worth it's value.

Stay Here, Sofitel Philly is Fantastic
by chalklounge at Citysearch
My girlfriend and I (seemingly the opener for all of my Citysearch reviews...hmm) stayed here for a night a few weeks back during our weekend sojourn to Philadelphia. We're New Yorkers who wanted to do something different without having to travel far. We settled on Sofitel based on positive reviews both here and on other sites and I literally could not have been more impressed. The staff was delightful from moment one -- from check-in to valet to after-dinner drinks and dessert at Le Bourse. Even the most modest room was beautiful 5-star quality with a luxury bed and bathroom to match. I would literally like this bathroom in my own home, ok? If that wasn't enough, we checked out bags for 5 hours after checkout so that we could walk the city Sunday afternoon. While waiting for valet to bring us my car, the bellhop heard me make an off-hand comment about wanting coffee for the road and he said "would you like me to bring you and your girlfriend a cup?" He proceeded to go to the back halls and emerge with two cups of coffee with all the trimmings, just because he could. It's the little things.
- Pros: Delightful service, great value, wonderful rooms/amenities
- Cons: zero

Beautiful Hotel!
by mel85 at Citysearch
I'm originally from the Philadelphia area, but was back in town for a wedding. Since my husband has never been to Philly, I was quite excited to make it a good experience and show him what an amazing city it can be. The Hotel Sofitel was the perfect choice. The room was gorgeous and spacious (we had a Superior King, I believe). The warm tones and wood accents really made it very welcoming and cozy. Even the bathroom was roomy with very charming touches. The bed was unbelievable, like laying down on a cloud. I think we may have to buy one of the feathertops as our bed at home now seems like a rock in comparison. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for better service. The location was excellent for exploring the city. It's very close to Rittenhouse Square and the Historic district/Society Hill/Penns Landing was a very quick cab ride away. It's also very convenient to some of the best restaurants in the city. Also, the bar was a nice place to unwind after a day of exploring. I highly recommend the Key Lime Martini. We would go back in a heartbeat and have already decided to look into staying at other Sofitel locations during our travels.
- Pros: Beautiful rooms/Friendly staff/Great location!!!
- Cons: Parking is expensive
