Except for the undisclosed fact that the lobby was being renovated, everything else was of very high quality and comfort. The hamburger I had for one lunch was a bit chewy.

Beautiful hotel. Parking for one night was $30 and tax. Be prepared to tip the valet parker, employee taking luggage into hotel and a third employee taking the luggage to your room. When we got to the room at 6:30, house cleaning was there fluffing the pillows. Great service but it does add up!
Positives: Very clean and friendly staff.
Negatives: Had a difficult time getting off of 17th St. for valet parking. Very tight area!

Positives: The location and friendly staff.
Negatives: There was no coffee maker in the room, this was disappointing.

The Sofitel Philadelphia is a modern, up to date, comfortable hotel with a racially mixed, sophisticated clientele. It is French, but not dominated by French patrons. The decor is beautiful and everything about the hotel is comfortable. The photos on the hotel web page do not do justice to the actual premises.
Positives: The bar and the staff.
Negatives: The restaurant was understaffed and my food was cold one night.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 15 Jul 2005 rated 10 out of 10.
The hotel made our family trip to Philadelphia a first class family vacation. Would definitely recommend Sofitel/Philadelphia to my friends and will seek out Sofitel Hotels in other cities when traveling.
Positives: The size of the rooms and bathrooms and overall appearance were first class.
Negatives: Smoking in lobby area was strong.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 07 Apr 2005 rated 10 out of 10.
Even though this hotel is large, it still had a wonderful warmth about it, the staff certainly helped that. The beds are absolutely wonderful, and you can purchase the duvet and pillows through the hotel. The lounge was very nice, open and airy. The lobby is decorated with beautiful seasonal flowers with candles around them. The type of flowers and color schemes were changed both days we were there, nice touch. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet. Without question, we would return.
Positives: They let us stay until 1:30 pm for a slightly late check-out at no extra charge. Anything beyond 1:30 am
Negatives: Upon arrival, we had to drive around the block as the entrance circle was back up to the street.
