French elegance and Philadelphia hospitality at this Center City hotel
The Sofitel Philadelphia is elegant and refined and well suited for business and leisure travelers. The Sofitel is located steps from Rittenhouse Square's shops and restaurants and serves as the cornerstone of Philadelphia's new French Quarter. Rooms emphasize comfort and convenience. Each offers a fully stocked mini-bar and luxurious French bath amenities. Chez Colette, the hotel's chic French-style cafe, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an atmosphere that evokes Paris in the 1920s.Sofitel Philadelphia Rooms

Conference trip to Philly
Love the Sofitel. This one is nice enough but needs renovation and isn't up to the level of others. Also, had to deal with noisy, inconsiderate patrons, which probably has to do with how cheap the hotel is in January and the fact that it's Philly after all.

Best hotel in Philadelphia
Easy ride to hotel from airport plus easy parking downtown plus great staff, great junior suite plus great breakfast. Always stay downtown because Philadelphia is easy to walk, safe and has a plethora of quality restaurants. Never stay in the suburbs, Philadelphia invented cool!

Great for a quick romantic jaunt
This is the third consecutive year my girlfriend and I have ventured up to Philly from DC for a quick anniversary weekend getaway, and stayed at the Sofitel. The room is always immaculate, the bed incredibly comfortable and the bathroom chic elegant. The staff is wonderful, and always recognize that we are returning customers, we even got a free upgrade because we were celebrating out anniversary. Centrally located about a block from Rittenhouse Square and a ton of restaurants. A little pricey all around (room, drinks at the hip bar, and particularly parking), but well worth it.

Philly food fest
Older style of decor, no updates since 1998 probably. But, this is the best location in Philly hands down. Everything is walking distance. You will save big time on cab fares.

Very nice hotel
My husband and I traveled from NYC to visit Philly for the weekend. While Philly did not meet our expectations this hotel did! Very nice service and our room was cozy. The hotel was the best part of our trip!
