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.

Staying away from home for nearly six weeks due to mold remediation was an incredibly stressful and disruptive experience. Being displaced from your own space, routines, and sense of normalcy is never easy. However, my stay at the Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square made a difficult situation much more manageable—and even relaxing at times. From the moment I arrived, the staff showed genuine warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness- specifically Jessica, Mateo, Sarah and Sergio who were consistently kind, attentive, and compassionate. They remembered details, checked in thoughtfully, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my extended stay. Their professionalism combined with warmth made the hotel feel like a safe haven rather than just a place to sleep. The accommodations were clean, well maintained and restful, which was especially important given the circumstances that brought me there. Having a peaceful, well-kept environment to return to each day provided a sense of stability when everything else felt uncertain. While I would have much preferred to be in my own home, I’m incredibly grateful for the care and consistency the Sofitel provided during this time. They helped turn a challenging situation into something far more bearable, and for that, I truly appreciate them and won’t ever forget my stay there.

It was, as always, a remarkable stay. We love this hotel, so much. The *only* issue in four days was that when the restaurant gets busy on weekends, they can't always really concentrate on what they are doing with orders.

Very satisfied with our stay. Conveniently located in the heart of Philadelphia. Exceptional service and hospitality. Spacious accommodations and bathrooms. Room service was prompt and the mini bar well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.

We chose the Sofitel through our Chase benefits, and we were happy with it. We received a room upgrade and credit toward breakfast and dinner. Service was excellent. When we asked for more coffee for the room, they sent us more than expected. Such a little detail, but it reflected the service.

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.
