Set in the same building that once housed the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, the Sofitel still bears many marks of its former life as the city's chief financial institution — think seven-toned geometric marble flooring, oak-paneled walls and lofty ceilings in the lobby. It has a lot of modern touches, too, like vibrant abstract art hung throughout the hotel — not to mention an enviable address two blocks from Rittenhouse Square.
The hotel's eclectic-chic vibe extends to guest rooms thanks to funky printed throw pillows and, you guessed it, more art on the walls. They also all come with spacious marble bathrooms, including separate tubs and glass-enclosed showers, plus Parisian-based Lanvin bath products. However, the real standouts are the Sofitel signature feather-top beds — they're favorites of U.S. News & World Report and Conde Nast Traveler.
There are two restaurants on site, Chez Colette and Liberté Lounge; both specialize in French classics like steak-frites and French onion soup with melted Gruyère cheese. If you're spending the weekend, we suggest stopping in to Chez Colette for brunch, where you'll find indulgent dishes like a duck-confit farmhouse skillet and a signature bloody mary made with ingredients from the rooftop garden.

Hotel definitely needs an upgrade! The carpeting in our hallway was ripped and a hazard. The staff were helpful and very accommodating. The only paid breakfast option we were allied was the buffet which was not adequately stocked. Spoons were missing from our place setup. Not a lot of attention to detail paid to the breakfast patrons. Overall experience was fair!!

The room was nice for what we paid except the thermostat wasn't working and room was a constant 82° which made sleeping uncomfortable. Also there was a leak that ran all over the bathroom floor which I alerted staff of immediately after we checked in and although they said they would take care of it all they did was wipe it up. Each morning there was a river in the middle of the bathroom floor.

Sofitel was an excellent hotel in Philadelphia. The location was perfect for walking. Staff were top notch. They went way above and beyond. My husband mentioned to one of the desk staff that he was an architect and was enjoying the many buildings. We had a knock on the door one afternoon and he received a note from this staff person hoping he was enjoying the sights and in the bag was a very nice architectural sight guidebook to Philadelphia. That is a step beyond the expected for sure. We will definitely stay at the Sofitel on our next visit there.

My friend valet parked their car to join me for the Sunday tea. When I was ready to leave there were about 10 people in line at reservation desk. Apparently the only way that I could pay was to wait in that long line. There should have been an alternate way to pay. Perhaps the supervisor of parking or concierge should have been able to handle that transaction.

They are renovating 4 floors of rooms very shortly. I know this because I complained that the bathroom, (very attractive) had some mold along the shower edge. I believe it was a function of the particular person who was responsible for cleaning the room. Otherwise, the furniture, layout, size, mirrors and lighting were all excellent!

There were a few disappointments. There were trays of food that were left out in the hall for over 12 hours a day (I would notice it when I left in the morning around 9am and it still wasn’t removed when I returned to the hotel at 4pm, and then when I left for dinner at 6pm and returned at 10 the trays were still there. I needed to call down to the front desk twice (on two consecutive days) to have it removed. The evening shift front desk was a little rude, but that could have been because they were all alone and it appeared to be a little busy.
Andrew the concierge was terrific! I liked the fact that when I booked a ticket for the Big Bus Tour company, they had a shuttle pick you up at the hotel for the tour and then a shuttle to take you back to the Sofitel once the tour concluded.
Overall, it was a terrific trip to Philly!

The hotel is in serious need of updating and attention. We booked a king suite and had to change rooms because of several issues/broken items in the first room only to find a set of different issues with the second. The furniture is worn and chipped throughout, sofa with holes, room refrigerators barely working and the list goes on. For the money just book the Kimpton hotel across the street because the rates here are not on par with a more luxury experience. A Hampton Inn would have less issues. It’s really too bad, it was such a lovely place and not long ago.
