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.

We had a great stay at the Sofitel Philadelphia. The valet service was quick and efficient, making both check-in and check-out easy. Our room was clean, modern, and well maintained, and the staff throughout the hotel were friendly, accommodating, and eager to help. The lobby had a lively, welcoming atmosphere, and the location couldn't be better. It's right in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions within walking distance—we hardly needed our car and walked everywhere. The only minor downside was that our room picked up some street noise, especially from traffic, but it wasn't enough to take away from an otherwise excellent experience. We'd definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, clean hotel. Nice and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet and food when off menu very bland. Bar is nice and service good. Location great to see all the sites in the city. We drove into the city but never drove again. Bed was comfortable, room temp great and very quiet.

This was our first time at the Sofitel and we think it will be our go-to from now on for romantic weekends in the city. My wife and I do these about once a month, for one or two nights. The property is in great shape, unlike for example the Warwick where we stayed recently. The lobby bar is beautiful and the happy hour specials are really good. The French-style Philly cheesesteak was especially indulgent and delicious. Overall, the vibe is distinctively French. When you call the Front Desk, you get a "bonjour." The location says Rittenhouse. It's about two blocks from actual Rittenhouse Park. The area has a large number of Philly's best restaurants and bars. Finally, I've found that the Sofitel is among the most likely to have affordable weekend rates on hotel sites like Hotel Tonight and Travelzoo.

We come to Philly regularly for family - grandchildren! We always - ALWAYS - stay here with our Sofitel friends. The staff from check-in to check-out sees to our every need and want. Love breakfast, OTs complete and the staff in the dining area is always pouring that fresh cup of morning brew. Enjoy your next stay and maybe we’ll see you there too!

The room was less than clean of what we paid. I let them know and they sent someone to clean again when we were out. There was still hand and forehead grease mark and the window when we returned. The in room coffee couldn’t have been of lower quality. They hit my wife for an additional “urban experience fee” at check out which they said covers amenities that we did not use.

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.
