Haven't had a better stay -- ever. I was sad to leave and that I couldn't stay for longer. What struck me first was the smell of the hotel, it was fantastic. In fact, I had to buy the candle to bring it home. They have a great gift shop and a fun hotel bar -- good signs. Ever detail... more

This was by far one of the best vacations I have ever been on. The staff at the Sofitel is amazing - from the front desk down to the housekeeping. I just loved every little touch that they added even down to the fresh flowers in the lobby. I honestly will never stay at another hotel again unless there is... more

Stayed for four nights at this amazing hotel. Booked a suite and what a surprise. Room was huge not to mention the bed! Had a pull out sofa bed in the sitting room, which I stayed on and I have never slept so well. Bathroom was huge with beautiful Hermes products. Turn down services every evening with comlimentary bottles of... more

My husband and I just got back from a 3 night stay at the Sofitel in Chicago. It is by far the nicest hotel we have ever stayed at (and we have stayed at a lot). All of the staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The bathrooms were large, bright, and "clean". The turn down... more

Striking architecture is only the beginning of what can only be described as one of the best hotel experiences of my professional life. The attention to detail in the room and the bathroom is remarkable and the bed is the best night's sleep I've ever experienced in a hotel. Gorgeous LCD tv and Bose wave machine added to my enjoyment.... more

Just returned from 5 days at the Sofitel. Yes the beds are fantastic and the rooms are immaculate. Service was very good, but we have stayed at a Sofitel in London and the service there was superior. So, by comparison, we simply couldn't rave as others have. It may be because the London hotel was smaller. The front desk staff... more

I can't really say anything about this hotel that hasn't been said before. Simply fabulous. It was the attention to detail that impressed myself & my husband most. The automatic soap dispensers, the free internet access and the fact that the maid came into our room while we at dinner to straighten up to name but a few. We ate... more

The Sofitel Water Tower is simply fantastic. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the U.S., and I can easily say this is one of the best hotels at which I've ever stayed. The experience starts even before you enter the gorgeous lobby with its contemporary glamor. Whether you arrive by car, cab, or by foot, the doormen at the... more

I cannot give this hotel enough praise - it has to rank up there with some of the best hotels I've ever stayed with. We stayed there for 3 nights (May 8th - 11th) and had an incredible experience. Firstly the hotel is amazing architecture from the exterior and you are wow'ed as soon as you pull up to it.... more

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The hotel is attractive, my room was very nice and the hotel fitness center was top-notch. I ordered room service breakfast during my stay and it was one of the best room service experiences I have ever had...the food was amazing! The hotel uses Frette linens and towels which are very... more
