Sofitel Los Angeles

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 05 Apr 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel was nice but the fitness center hours were too short. There was no hot tub and I was never offered any service at the pool. To very attentive. This hotel needs a cafe for coffee and quick eats.

Positives: The work out facility was the best I have seen at a hotel.

Negatives: The front desk staff friendly but incompetant.

The front desk staff met me at the front door and their excellent service continued throughout my stay. My room was extremely comfortable. Room service was speedy and the food was very good.

Positives: The entire experience was flawless!

Negatives: Nothing.

Negatives: Sad: no bathtub.

If you're a couple or a single business traveler, this hotel is perfect because the rooms are quite nice. Request for the larger rooms if you want more space. It's near Beverly Center and convenient to many LA amenities. Valet parking is quite expensive. All hotel staff is very courteous and helpful.

Positives: Love the fluffy blankets and the overall decor of the room.

Negatives: Valet parking is expensive and very limited rooms with double beds.

Beautiful modern, pet friendly hotel, helpful staff, very courteous, great location, across the street from mall, close to restaurants and not to far from Hollywood walk of fame, Sunset strip though a cab or car is needed.

Positives: Location, things close by, safe neighborhood, helpful staff, beautiful place!

Negatives: Can't use wet bar as a refrigerator without being charged for removed bottles, local calls cost money, parking expensive.

Clean, nice and friendly staff, would stay there again.

Positives: Easy check in & check out friendly staff.

Negatives: Room was facing the street, however not too noisy.

This hotel accomplishes what the W chain of hotels tries to do, but nowhere near as well as the Sofitel. The public areas and rooms are clean and sleek, very "cool" looking without trying hard to be. The rooms were a good size and the bath modern and upscale (although ask for a tub if you want one--I had a great shower but no tub). The staff throughout the hotel was very friendly and helpful. Altogether a great and unexpectedly pleasant experience. You feel very much like you're in an upscale hotel, without all the pretension.

Positives: Room was great--decor, amenities, bath, space.

Negatives: No pool.

Excellent, very stylish, beautifully designed hotel, not to big, hence quite personal. Excellent food in the restaurant, very good service.

Positives: Beautifully designed rooms and public areas.

Negatives: Very noisy bar in the evening.

Overall it was a very nice Sofitel, actually preferred the rooms and decor at the Minneapolis Sofitel over the LA one. Seemed like they were trying to hard to be trendy. The room was nice, although the French doors on the front seemed somewhat old and poorly insulated letting in cold air and street noise from Beverly Blvd below. Also right next to a hospital so you could hear sirens a lot. The bathroom rain shower fixture needed a little maintenance too.

Positives: Very trendy and upscale hotel overall.

Negatives: Shower in bathroom needed some plumbing help; Older French doors on front really let in street noise.

The Sofitel Beverly Hills is conveniently located, near all of the attractions of Beverly Hills & Hollywood (& West Hollywood). It is staffed by helpful, attractive people, who are happy to help with any special requests. One warning: If you need to be in bed before midnight, make sure you get a room on the north side of the building, away from the booming bass of the disco on the front (Beverly Blvd.) side of the building. The rooms are tastefully appointed and the beds are extremely comfortable. The towels (& bathroom) are luxuriant. I would definitely stay there on a future visit to L.A.

Positives: Understated, modern elegance & friendly, helpful staff.

Negatives: Noise from the nightclub later than it should've been.

There is no privacy between the rooms. I could perfectly hear the TV. Show on the room next to mine. The valet staff very friendly and always kind to help out with directions.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Noisy.

The hotel was being remodeled, so I didn't expect much of the lobby. The rooms we decent. but small. The bed was very comfortable, but the only internet connection they had was dial up. It made my work while I travel very difficult. The front desk clerk did offer for me to go down to the lobby and work off of their wireless connection...but that did not work for me. I hope it gets better after their remodel.

Positives: The beds were very nice.

Negatives: No internet hook up. Bad mini bar.

will probably be a good hotel once the construction/remodel is done.

Positives: Good people.

Negatives: Construction was annoying.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 02 Nov 2005 rated 6 out of 10.

The hotel a little bit disappointing, it was undergoing large renovations, so much of the 4-star atmosphere got lost.

Positives: Fine location, high standard and friendly staff.

Negatives: Large renovations, expensive valet parking and breakfast.

The Sofitel Beverley Hills is nicely located (Next to Beverley Center/Mall) and is nicely appointed, with French doors in my room, nice bathrobes and most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.

Very nice place with good service, beautiful rooms and great location. Across the street from Berverly Center (very upscale mall) and the Hard Rock Cafe.

Positives: Beautiful rooms, across the street from Hard Rock

Negatives: Construction underway so noise was bothersome

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Jul 2005 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel is very nice, very European-looking. Beds are comfortable, if not too soft, but overall very nice. There is no coffee-maker in the room, plus the hotel is undergoing renovation. The support staff is not too friendly and do not go out of their way to help.

Positives: boutique hotel

Negatives: ran out of rollaway beds, hotel under renovation

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 11 Jun 2005 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall, a wonderful experience. Lovely accommodations. Excellent restaurant. I look forward to my next stay.

Positives: All of the staff was extremely helpful and polite.

Negatives: The European bedding left me in a lurch as I'm allergic to down feathers.
