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.

Subject to change, but a very bad start here. Checked in a half hour ago. A long line, made longer by people cutting the line. Got up to the room (a double). Beds half made, a foul odor of coming from a drawer. Opened it to find a half full soft drink with straw, and a container of pineapple that probably had been there quite a few days, judging from the strong odor. Wow. Called down to front desk and room services and waited, and waited for the operator. Finally after 3 or 4 tries, they have promised to bring pillows and someone to clean out the drawers. I was promised someone would "refresh" the room. It's now been 15 minutes, so......I'm NOT impressed.

Had a great hotel experience! The staff was on hand throughout the entire conference and eager to assist. Just sad I never got the mushroom-truffle soup recipe! :) Room was lovely, slept great, shower was spa-like! While I was busy with the conference for most of each day, I was able to walk around the area and enjoy Rittenhouse Square. Wished the gym had been a bit bigger...with regular guests and then a few from the Conference, it got a tab congested. I would ask that staff check to make sure Decaf truly is decaf in carafes. With medication, I can't tolerate caffeine and I know I inadvertently had some!

Enjoyed the convenient location of the Sofitel, near everything we wanted to enjoy in Philly. The staff were great, very attentive and courteous. Our suite was clean and comfortable, accommodating 3 people with ease.

I had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel Philadelphia. My room was immaculate, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The service was top-notch from beginning to end—professional, friendly, and attentive. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy Center City and the surrounding area. The breakfast buffet was also a real highlight: an amazing selection, beautifully presented, and delicious. Everything about my stay reflected the quality and hospitality I hoped for. Sofitel truly equals satisfaction. I would gladly stay here again.

Nice hotel, nice room, but valet was overpriced and they told me $59.95 at the counter but billed me $73 in the end, and it was apparently "taxes" that they didnt relay at the counter. I dont like lack of transparency.

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.
