Stayed at the Sofitel Chi for my Bachelor Party. Incredible room, reasonable prices, great location. Furhtermore, the service was second to none. Every wish granted. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone visiting Chicago who wants a great North Side location close to all the best restaurants and bars. more

I have stayed at this hotel a few times (always for business) and stayed again last week -- it is always excellent. The service is attentive and personal, the rooms are well appointed and very clean, the views are beautiful (I was on 29th floor facing lake side this time). You can't go wrong with this hotel -- great location,... more

Back today from a 3 night stay at the Sofitel. This is an excellent choice in the centre of town. Great location for all the shopping on Michigan Avenue and an easy cab ride to all the other sights. We had a room on the 10th floor which didnt have stunning views but was more than adequate for our needs.... more

My husband and I spent a special 20th anniversary at this Sofitel. Everything about this hotel exceeded our expectations, and it was a most wonderful stay. Our room was a very nice size and the bed was incredibly comfortable and luxurious. Our room was immaculate, and there was a leather couch and chair to relax in as well as a... more

We did not stay (yet) at the Sofitel, but were very pleasantly surprised by the way the lobby looked and the overall impression the hotel made. We did however have a really good lunch at the Café Des Architects, which is in the hotel. We took the 'one plate / 4 mini-course lunch' which includes an appetizer, salad, main course... more

My husband and I have very expensive taste in hotels, but booked this Sofitel based on Trip Advisor reviews, not on hotel class (like five-star, etc.) which is our usual criteria. This hotel was not the most expensive in the city, but definitely seemed the best - not lacking in luxury. This was our 10th anniversary vacation, and due to... more

My wife and I just returned from a four day trip to Chicago and the Sofitel was wonderful. We had a suite in the 23rd floor and it was everything that I had imagined. We have stayed at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and other upscale hotels. This was by far the best. It was super modern. We had flat... more

Good hotel, excellent location, very attentive staff. Everything up to scratch! But: the rooms are quite small, although the big windows help not making them claustrophobic. Also I found the lobby quite dark even during the day. True enough, it was very atmospheric, but it made it difficult to see properly! more

Wife and I took a quick weekend to Chicago last minute. Booked hotel thru one of the last minute travel sites at around $200 per night. The hotel is very chic and trendy. Room was extremely comfortable and clean. We had drinks in the hotels bar when we arrived. A little pricey but very enjoyable. The hotel is one block... more

Yes, like most reviews written here, it is the 'hippest' place to be staying while in Chicago. Now in all fairness, it is the only place I've stayed in Chicago..I hope to go back one day. My sister and her husband suggested to us that we stay here because of the rooms and location. Our welcome and exit wasn't the... more
