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.

This was our first time staying in the Sofitel, and it was an overall great experience. The staff were all incredibly welcoming and helpful, as this was me and my sister's first time booking a hotel by ourselves- we had a lot of questions. The rooms were clean, included a lot of complimentary items, and impressive compared to a lot of other hotel's I've stayed in. The location was great too. The only complaint I have is that the room did not have a refrigerator included besides the pre-stocked minibar, or a microwave. This made it a bit difficult since we brought food from home and ended up tossing a lot of it out. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable.

From the valets that received our car, to the front desk, and then the staff at the restaurant for our buffet breakfast, we felt incredibly welcome to the property. The rooms were spacious and clean. Well appointed and comfortable. Finally the location close to Rittenhouse Square which has lots of shopping and restaurants and very walkable was great. This is now our 2nd time at this property and we will probably be back.

We've stayed in the Rittenhouse Square area twice before at VRBO and boutique hotels so this was our first time in a hotel there. We have largely gotten away from hotels lately but were only staying two nights for an art exhibition and dinners. We thought the location of this hotel couldn't be beat, right by beautiful, walkable Square w/amazing restaurants all around (highly recommend the Love and My Loup). This hotel had really big rooms, super comfy, with a huge bathroom featuring both a shower and a tub (not too common in hotels these days). Staff were very nice, rates very reasonable.

I was looking for a hotel close to the Italian consulate and the Sofitel was highly recommended on Expedia. The Sofitel is a beautiful hotel with the friendliest workers! Everyone was so nice including the front desk concierge, valet workers, and restaurant/bar staff. I booked the hotel for a business trip but the stay was so wonderful it felt like vacation! The room was so clean and the bedding felt like you were sleeping on a cloud. The provided toiletries smelled amazing! Our veggie breakfast omelette was huge and tasted so good. The buffet was plentiful!!! The organic lavazza coffee was the best tasting coffee. I loved the French experience too! The entire experience was wonderful. The bar stays opened late so we were able to grab an espresso and dessert in the evening. I think the best thing about the trip was how friendly everyone was. Thank you Sofiitel for such an enjoyable experience! Highly recommend!!

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.
