Sofitel Philadelphia
Fantastic hotel, in the true Sofitel way. To a person, the staff was helpful, engaging and positive. All of the amenities were as you would expect from Sofitel anywhere else in the world. The location is absolutely perfect. Walking distance to Rittenhouse Square, and everything you want downtown is easily accessible. I had emailed the manager from the airplane asking for late check in and to change my room from a single King to double beds, since my daughter decided to join me at the last minute. When we checked in, the night manager greeted us by name and apoligized for not having a room with double beds, but they had already place a roll-away in our room, waiting for us. Fabulous service.

Great hotel!!!!
The concierge was very accommodating and valet was very quick! It is in a great location for shopping and there are a variety of restaurants near by. The hotel was very clean and they always made our bed and supplied our room with fresh towels when we stepped out to sightsee. Overall it was definitely a "luxury" hotel. Check in and check out was very quick as well and there was always someone to help us with our bags etc. The beds were also very comfortable! Almost like sleeping on a cloud.

Excellent accomodations and service.
The Sofitel is in the heart of downtown. Easy walking to shopping, restaurants and clubs. Subway within walking distance as well. One of the more enjoyable hotel stays I can remember.
