My stay was three days on a business trip. I took the train from the airport to downtown and the hotel was a nice, 3 block walk from the Suburban Station. I was very pleasantly surprised by the vibrancy of downtown Philadelphia and there was lots of shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel. The hotel staff... More

The Sofitel is one of my favorite moderately high end hotel chains and this one is no exception. Came here for a couple of nights for a business meeting and the check-in was smooth, with a nice room to come to after a long flight. Great bed with nice linens and towels. Small sitting area in their standard rooms and... More

My wife and I live close to Philadelphia but for a recent birthday/Mother's Day weekend getaway while my mom watched our kids, I chose the Philadelphia Sofitel as our destination. It was a perfect overnight stay with a clean, well appointed and comfortable room. Room service breakfast was very nice and the staff impeccably mannered. The only regret was that... More

The room service prices are also reasonable compared to other similar hotels. They offer free coffee (a Lavazza single brew espresso maker) and... More

This hotel is very nice and the staff very welcoming upon our arrival. The location can't be beat and it was easy to get to all of the sights. The bathroom was spacious and pretty with marble vanity. Try to get the package with the free parking and free breakfast buffet as this is a great value. We were surprised... More

My husband and I stayed here in December 2011. The hotel looked very nice and clean... but then we had a bed bug event. We woke up at 4 AM to find a bed bug crawling across the white down comforter and there were little specks of blood on the bed sheets. We checked the sheets and found more in... More
