“Sofitel centrally located.”

The hotel staff was excellent. The maid service could improve. The food was good, but very expensive. No dinner on Sunday night, but you can eat in the lounge.

Area recommendations
I believe the location on 17th Street is very good.

“Bob Seger night”

We stayed here when Bob Seger and The SBB were in town (Philly) Very nice rooms. Bose radio in the room. Beds very comfy. The "Bistro" in the hotel....we sat and waited for more than 10 minutes and no wait staff came to our table ..so we left and went to Morton's for food. Surrounding area has many food joints and nice pubs. The cost per night for the valet service seemed very excessive. Overall a nice hotel.

Area recommendations
Center City or Old Town....great restuarants and pubs....Great museums and music venues. High priced boutiques all over the place.

“Wonderful Stay”

We were really pleased with our stay at Sofitel. We had booked 2 nights in a Junior Suite and it was extremely comfortable and warmly decorated. We did not have the chance to eat in any of the restaraunts inside the hotel but the surrounding area has so many amazing places to eat. I highly recommend The Dandelion Pub, which is only a block away from Sofitel and has amazing food and atmosphere. The staff at Check in/out were wonderfully polite and welcoming. I especially appreciated the gesture, of both people who checked us in and out, of coming around from behind their desk to hand us our keys or give us our receipt face to face. It was so simple but it made it so personal. It was noticed and I feel it made a big difference. I will absolutely stay at Sofitel again.

Area recommendations
Rittenhouse area, for its shopping, restaraunts, and cleanliness.
Comment from the hotel's management
