This sophisticated downtown hotel is conveniently situated near the Kimmel Center and Rodin Museum. Delight in the architectural highlights of the hotel, such as a geometric lobby floor design inspired by Shaker quilts and crafted from seven types of stone.

From the inept and short staffed valet personnel, ineffective concierge, long check-in times to the the MIA general manager, this hotel was not worth the headache. Besides the backup valet parking line, which incidentally cause a major traffic jam, the only bright light was their restaurant, Liberte.

Sofitel Phila @ Rittenhouse is our go-to hotel every visit to Philly!! Location, room, service is impecable! This visit I had an issue with valet...extremely unprofessional and rude.

We’ve been to Sofitel many times, but this was our first return since Covid. It did not disappoint! Same welcoming staff and hospitality. Beautiful room. Perfect location. A wonderful stay!

Entry to the hotel is marvelous - - beautiful bar scene and welcoming front desk. Our first room had a horrible seating arrangement - - small bar height chairs and a very small round table - - no lounge chair or anything like that. IT appeared something (a comfy lounge chair?) had been moved from the room because there was lots of space available for more comfortable seating. WE paid extra to be moved to a suite. NO Netflix available. - only purchased movies. THe hotel is old - - old bathtubs, small showers. Im trying to like it because of the location but Im going to try another spot the next time I am in the city.

Lovely hotel.

Thank you so much for the great rates with extras like breakfast. My traveling companion is receiving cancer treatment and needs to eat breakfast, which was included with our stay at the Sofitel in Philadelphia on your site. Their staff was great, they provided a refrigerator for us to use in the room which was an added extra. I talked to the front desk before I left and told them how helpful their consigner was and how we enjoyed our conversations with him. Ivan provided some excellent dining options for us which worked well for us.
I have talked to several of my friends about using Luxury Link and hope they will find it to be their go to site. This is the first time I’ve used your services and will definitely check your site before booking any other hotels. This is the first time that any 3rd party site has offered better rates than the hotel themselves. I had my doubts, but when you showed your BBB rating, I decided to take the chance and I’m so pleased that I did. Thank you for making our stay at the Sofitel Philadelphia exceptional.
