I was a guest of a friend at the Sofitel of Chicago, IL, where we had stayed from June 27 through July 1, 2008. On June 30, 2008, we were having drinks at the Sofitel Chicago LeBar when around 10:45 p.m. my friend got into a disagreemment with another patron. SECURITY WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. Then I heard... more

This hotel is a solid 4 star hotel with rooms, bedding, toiletries, restaurant and bar being up to this level. The only aspect of the hotel not four star level is its location which I would give a solid 5 stars. It is right at the foot of the Rush Street scene with shopping, restaurants, bars, clubs, and the Magnificent... more

Very nice room - service was excellent - the staff are obviously well trained. The Consierge service was very helpful. The location is excellent if you want to be downtown near the city's major attractions. Only one block from the Mag Mile, Hancock Centre, Water Tower, etc. and only a short walk from a subway stop. We had a good... more

A 2-block walk from the Chicago Avenue stop on the red line, this location can't be beat. (Can ride all the way from OHare for $2!) Our 23d floor room gave us a bit of a lake view, & the green roofs on neighboring buildings were also interesting. Room was nice size, all the amenites we expected (except no pool... more

I read the reviews on Trip Advisor for this property which had it ranked as #1 in Chicago. I got a king room overlooking Michigan Ave. The view was beautiful. The room was also impeccable. Nice and bright, very fresh and modern. I find it very hard to fault any Sofitel's. The service, attentiveness of staff, cleanliness and luxury are... 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
