out of value="5""Sofitel Chicago - Best Room Service Cheeseburger"
Reviewed by Sally of Overland Park on Nov 30, 2009
Everything about the Sofitel Chicago is first rate. The lobby is elegantly modern and decorated beautifully for the holidays. Our room was beautiful, with jazz softly playing on the radio when we entered and a selection of chocolates on a table. The bed was very comfortable and we both enjoyed being able to sleep in late without hearing hallway noise. When you stay, be sure to order room service at least once during your stay. The Sofitel cheeseburger was one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. It was perfectly cooked to order and served with crisp french fries and a small green salad with vinaigrette. We've stayed at several hotels in the Near-North area of Chicago and this has been our favorite, by far.

Reviewed by Sheena of Washington, DC on Sep 27, 2009
I loved the Hotel. Before I booked the hotel I researched it well. It is very convenient to everything. The front desk staff was very well informed and polite. The hotel ambiance is very cool. The gym is small but it gets the job done. I got a good rate for this hotel so it was worth it. If I would've paid more than I might have felt over-charged--but it's new, clean and in the heart of the city. Go for it ;)

Stayed 5 nights in Sofitel Water Tower and enjoyed every minute. The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathroom is fab. Location of the hotel is good for the Rush St/ Oak Street nightlife and just a couple of blocks from the Hancock Tower on the Magnificent Mile. We ate breakfast and dinner some days in the hotel and I would highly recommend the quality of food served here. Overall would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would return.

The Sofitel is as beautiful architecturally as any of the best buildings in Chicago, and the interior decor is sleek and stylish. Unique geometry lends to the pleasingly modern aesthetic. The rooms aren't cheap, but are worth the price: very clean and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows, well-lit bathrooms, and cozy feather beds. Very accommodating staff and well-appointed restaurant and lounge make Sofitel my new favorite hotels!

Reviewed by Julian of Miami on Aug 18, 2009
I brought my two sons and their girlfriends to Chicago for Lollapalooza and to visit some of the universities. I booked 3 rooms here and stayed for 5 days. I've stayed in many hotels around the world, including some of the finest 5 star hotels in London, New York, Miami, Paris, San Francisco, etc.., but I can honestly say that while the amenities and overall accommodations at the Ritz, the Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, St. Regis, etc. may have been a step above, the staff at this Sofitel was as good, if not better, than that of any of the other 5 star hotels that I have stayed in. From the reception to the concierge, and the staff around the hotel, they go out of their way to make you feel special and accommodate you. Every time I asked for something, including a change of rooms because I wanted a view of the lake, my requests were met with a smile and the staff was more than happy to grant my requests. Everyone always asked how we were doing and if there was anything that they could do for us - even when it rained the staff promptly put out umbrellas for everyone to take on the way out. I would stay here again and, although this was my first time staying at a Sofitel, it definitely will not be my last.
