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.…
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- The wine list offers a surprisingly small selection by the glass, just seven in total ($7-$10). Recommended choices are the Clos du Bois Chardonnay and the Michel Redde Sancerre, both whites.
- Know Before You Go:
- Chez Colette is located in the city's only French hotel, Sofitel.
- Know Before You Go:
- For a fee, a guest can bring along his or her dog as long as the furry friend is less than 25 lb.

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.

Overpriced small servings, Pretty but boring atmosphere
by kcpeyton at Citysearch
I chose Chez Colette because the reviews were good, it sounded pretty, and it was close to the Academy of Music, where I was going to a show. I was concerned that it would be overpriced, that the serving sizes would be small, and that it might not be so fun to eat in a restaurant that has a reputation for being empty. Unfortunately, all that turned out to be true. The hours are actually not 6 am to 11 pm. We arrived at 4:45 for our 5 pm reservation, and there were no staff in the restaurant. When a host arrived, he told us the restaurant did not open until 5. We sat in the Sofitel Hotel lobby and had a drink, which was nice. The service in the lobby was very attentive and friendly, and the service in the restaurant itself was very friendly as well, although slow - we did not get out until 7 pm. The big problem was high prices for a very small amount of food. The food itself was excellent - we had stripped bass, filet mignon, and the crab cake, plus the mixed greens salad - - all really well prepared, very attractive. Just wasn't much of it. No one in my group minds paying high prices, but at Chez Collette, you really don't get your money's worth. The decoration of the restaurant is very pretty, but it's not "fin de siecle" style, not really. It's a fairly nice hotel restaurant, but very reminiscent of, well, a hotel, and it is empty of people, which causes a lack of festive feel. Not romantic, not much "atmosphere." One thing that was exceptional was that we were given complimentary desert and coffee, I think because we were sent to the hotel lobby to wait for the restaurant to open - this was very generous of them. I wouldn't go back, though, because of the high-priced small servings and the sort of boring atmosphere. I would suggest Brasserie Perrier on Walnut St. as a good alternative, or Vallani's on Pine St.
- Pros: Friendly service
- Cons: Overpriced, small food servings

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

Weekday Lunch
by alee34 at Citysearch
I had one of the best weekday lunches here a while ago. The service was excellent and the food was satisfying. Definetly try here if you're sick of Marathon or grabbing something in Liberty.
- Pros: Lunch
