Great Hotel

Great hotel, centrally located. Fantastic hotel, great staff. If driving to the Sofitel be prepared for expensive valet parking, best to self park right next door.

Stay at the Sofitel when in Chicago

Pros: Location and the facilities, comfortable and very clean
Cons: It is perfect
Location: Easy to get to Wrigley Field via the red line. It is close to Michigan ave, good shopping, and fine dining in all directions
The Sofitel in Chicago is perfectly located to the famous Eatily, fine dinning, shopping and only 2 blocks from the red line that can take you where you want to go like Wrigley Field. We stay there when we are in Chicago

Very nice hotel.

We have stayed in Sofitel in both Philly and Chicago. It is always deightful. One complaint is that for a Francophile style hotel, the coffee in the room and offered for breakfast is weak and tasteless! Also the faucet in room 2104 in Chicago was hard to manage and the water temp was difficult to maintain. Probably a quick fix? Thanks!

Nice view of John Hancock building

Everyone was so kind and polite. They really have the sense ingrained in everyone to be sure that each and every interaction with guests is a positive one.

Wonderful Stay!

Pros: Close to so many attractions, clean, great security, nice fitness room and the room we stayed in was one of the best hotel room we've ever seen.
Cons: Nothing- had a great time!
Location: We found a great soup place for lunch, played ping pong in a bar that was in below ground, and a had a drink in the Signature Room at night.
Excellent staff- everyone was very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. The room was very clean and had a great view of the city. The bar and lounge were very nice and a great place to get some good food and watch football games. My wife and I were able to walk every where we needed to go and avoided paying taxi fees despite the frigid temperatures.
