Having stayed at Sofitel in New York, it was an easy choice to stay at Sofitel in Chicago. It is in an excellent location at the north end of the Magnificent Mile, but just a short block or two away, so it was quiet at night. Excellent proximity to shopping, restaurants, transportation, etc. We arrived quiet early (before 11am CST)... more

I disliked the Sofitel so much we changed our week stay to the Grand Hyatt after the first night. We checked into our suite and was blasted by the smell of body odor immediately. We were tired from our flight, but went downstairs to change rooms. The second suite smelled just as bad, but stayed anyway. I disliked the hotel... more

Clean, modern rooms are just the right size - the location is amazing for shopping and walks to the lake. The restaurant off the lobby is fantastic, expensive but nice. Bar off lobby is a great hotel bar. more

Excellent service! Clean and spacious rooms with a great view of downtown Chicago. Location is excellent for exploring the main sights and the Golden Mile. Great concierge service. Pricey though... Don't valet if you don't need to. more

First and foremost, the main reason we could stay here was the price we got. We paid $125 for the night, on the 28th floor. I could not believe how inexpensive this was. I booked it right away and felt good about it. We pulled up and the valet was right there. The bellman was also johnny on the spot.... more

My husband and I stayed at the hotel the weekend Jimmy Buffett was in town. Of all the hotels we've ever stayed at in Chicago, this one is in my top three picks! It's so chic, from the flower decorations in the lobby, to the posters adorning the hallways, to the interiors of the elevators...they've covered all the details big... more

We had no hot water when we returned from a long day of shopping. I really wanted to take a shower before bed, so I called the front desk. They said they would call engineering, and have them make an adjustment to the boiler. I was told to wait 10 minutes and try again. I did. No hot water. I... more

Just spent the weekend at the Sofitel. In for a family function. Great rooms service. Costs of both food and room were very reasonable. Every staff member I came across put service first. Room quality was top notch and TVs are outrageously big. A definite must if you will be in Downtown Chicago. more

Great hotel

My wife and I stayed here from December 10-13, 2009. The location of great, just a block from Michigan Avenue at Rush and Chestnut. It is also near a CTA station. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the rooms were clean and spacious. The rooms were also very quiet and the beds were comfortable. We were able to... more

After checking out of the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower the other day, I left the hotel, crossed the street and started to walk EB on Chestnut while looking for a cab. I was still within sight of a Sofitel doorman when I sighted a cab approximately one block away and attempted to hail same. After doing so, I immediately heard... more
