Nice Hotel
| | Overall rating: |  | Value rating : | |
This was a nice hotel -- the service was excellent and it had a very good location near Rittenhouse Square. My only complaint was that my room must have formerly been a smoking room and was very stuffy and slightly smoky. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We were given a bargain rate for a weekend at what has always been a first-class hotel in a perfect location in Center City Philadelphia.

Euro Flair in Center City Philadelphia
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
We stayed two nights at this very chic, contemporary hotel with a real European flair, in one of the best parts of Philadelphia, two blocks from Rittenhouse Square. We got a great rate for a standard room, and then were upgraded to a suite! The room decor was understated but attractive; the bed super comfortable, and the bathroom truly luxurious, with a big glass shower, separate tub, lots of towels and L'Occitane toiletries. We arrived in late evening and had a tasty snack and wine in the bar, and an excellent breakfast in the bistro/restaurant. The food and wine prices were typical of any good big city hotel, fairly steep, but the quality and service very good. We took advantage of one of the many good restaurants within walking distance, but I would not hesitate to dine in the hotel on another visit. This hotel lacks only an indoor pool and fancy spa facility to put it in the five-star category. We were there for a getaway, but this is a good location for business travelers as wel

Very Good Rate for a Good Hotel
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
The hotel itself is well maintained and the rooms are very clean and well kept. The room was not ready at noon as promised and there were other annoying small things that kept cropping up like a forgotten wake-up call and no extra shampoo as requested. At checkout, I had an argument with the front desk manager over our room rate but since I had the email from Perfect Escapes verifying our rate, he backed down and honored the rate. It was completely unnecessary, as I had given them a copy at check-in and it should have been a non-issue.
Their restaurant referrals were less than desirable for a family, more of a bar scene but we had good luck with the restaurants we chose for ourselves. Overall, the hotel is lovely and well maintained and I would stay here again.

A Very Comfortable Experience

The room was very quiet and the bed was like sleeping in the clouds. Great restaurants and shopping right out the door.

The room was comfortable and sunny; nice bath and toiletries, robe, hairdryer and iron/ironing board available. Feather bed, pillows and linens excellent. Staff professional and pleasant. Parking $30 plus $6 tax. Great location for walking to restaurants and sites. Room was unavailable at 1:20 pm check-in. Popped back at 5:30 pm and was provided a key. I was only in the room for sleeping. At 11:00 pm, doors started slamming in the hallway and children raced up and down. I called the front desk. The commotion stopped. I will definitely return again.

My husband and I decided to have a night out in Philly. Sofitel was a perfect location. We had an awesome room that was only a couple steps from the local bars, restaurants and pubs!!! We have a new favorite hotel!!

Weekend Trip

There was no early check-in nor late check-out as stated (on availability). That was the only reason I booked through perfect escapes. Very disappointing.

Lovely Hotel
| | Overall rating: | | Value rating : | |
Chic, modern, and a breath of fresh air when compared to other upscale hotels in Philadelphia. Great attention to detail and comfort. The bed beats the Westin's heavenly bed! This was 10 times more comfortable! We stayed at the Bellvue last year and the Sofitel is much better overall. We have found our new favorite hotel!
