The location is great. My room smelled awful and the front desk switched me to another room as soon as I asked. The treadmills in the gym are dated. The Sunday brunch was good and though the service was friendly, when I asked about an item I couldn’t find but should have been there, the waiter shrugged. The beds are comfortable but the sheets are a weird polyester. All this to say, it’s a good hotel, but not a Travel and Leisure Top 50, as they advertise.

Great hotel option close to Rittenhouse Square, and they sometimes have really great discounts. Staff is super friendly and efficient, you get a $20 credit at the bar each day and there's a great happy hour from 4 to 6 pm. Always a pleasure to stay at the Sofitel!

This beautifully designed hotel needs better upkeep: bathroom was poorly patched and the toilet kept running. The staff at reception and in the bar/restaurant were barely friendly. Otherwise, the room was gorgeous and the location can not be beat.
