About the Hotel
The Windy City has long been home to Italian and Irish Americans, but there is now a French revolution underway at 20 East Chestnut - where Sofitel Chicago Water Tower resides. This 32-story downtown delight boasts a sleek design with equally modern interiors. Rooms take on a minimalist feel without sacrificing noted amenities. It is pure pleasure with designer furnishings, oversize marble baths, and cityscape views. The lobby, illuminated by the soft glow of candles, boasts relaxing conversational nooks, intriguing artwork and the aroma of fresh flowers.

Reviews for Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile
Sofitel is a Gem
We have been traveling to Chicago a few times a year since . . . the late 1970s. We used to try and stay at a different hotel each time - to get a diverse experience in this diverse city. Until. We stayed at the Sofitel in 2023. And now it is tough to think objectively. We always have a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic - on a quiet block just west of Michigan Ave. The building is really nice - modern architecture with interesting spaces and upgraded finishes. The staff is always pleasant and professional; many of the key people have been there since it opened 20+ years ago. And the dining is great. We just spent a long weekend . . . and it was our 4th stay in less than 3 years. Treat yourself to Sofitel. It is a gem.

Excellent
We really enjoyed our stay at Sofitel Chicago. The hotel is beautifully decorated, very clean, and the rooms are extremely comfortable. The beds and bathrooms were excellent as well. A very pleasant experience overall.

Sophisticated Concierge Alem Sapp is truly a value added asset to this upscale establishment. I informed him of my two celebratory events. He went above and beyond my wildest expectations to make my stay on the Magnificent Mile exceptional. He truly understood the assignment and exceeded every expectation.He showered me with a new robe(the one in the room was truly small). He made me feel welcome and queenly. I plan to make this my exclusive hotel when frequenting the city of Chicago. His staff sang happy birthday to me and presented me with chocolate roses and macarons.My my my my, this was a phenomenal and gorgeous serenade. This was beyond 5 star service. Carolyn

Great walkable location!
Very nice stay. Not sure what the $25 daily amenity fee is for as we only got a couple boxes of water each day. Hardly worth $25. One big suggestion is to have a separate switch of one light in the bathroom or a night light. Having to turn on every light in the bathroom when you get up in the middle of the night is blinding!

Great Experience
We had an amazing stay at the Sofitel. Our room was perfectly maintained with all of the amenities. Our housekeeper Baoyu Luo kept our room impeccable with all of the personalized touches you would expect from the Sofitel brand. We will be back!
