Here for five nights stay. The location is great on the upper end of Mag Mile but off the madness by two blocks, so nicely quiet. The building itself is impressive on outside, inside is interesting (but not as daring). Front desk staff pleasant, concierge staff helpful. We had a 16th floor room with great city view. Rooms still felt... more

We stayed at the Sofitel for a weekend getaway. The primary reason we chose the Sofitel was its location, and it did not disappoint. Short walks to the Hancock building and Rush Street were just what we expected. The bell staff were also extremely courteous and helpful. Though a tad small, our room did have a good view, and the... more

A clean, modern hotel in a great location, good design, good food, good bars; all very well done. What marks this hotel out above others is the extreemly good level of service from all members of staff. The attentive yet discreet attentions of everyone I met was just right, something very few hotels seem to get right, well done Sofitel... more

This hotel is in a great location. Close to everything you would want to do downtown (Shopping, eating, sight seeing, etc.) The rooms are average in terms of design but they are new & extremely clean. Wonderful bed. The front desk staff was extremely nice & helpful. The lobby is beautiful and chic. The gym is small but adequate (... more

I picked this hotel solely because it was #1 on Tripadvisor. I loved everything about it. The hotel is perfectly located at the beginning of the Magnificent Mile, about 2 blocks of. Very quiet. Genuine and friendly staff, very helpful. The beds are extremely comfortable, you don't want to leave them. The rooms are nicely equiped and super clean, including... more

Traveled for the weekend with 1yr old and spouse, and we had a great weekend trip! Location was great: close to shops, nice and casual restaurants, and easy to access the El or cab. Rooms had great bathrooms, were a bit small, but we also had a crib in there with us! Our son cried a bit before going to... more

We stayed at this trendy French hotel for 2 nights with a baby in tow. We were intially conerned that it might not be family friendly. We were way off. The first thing that I noticed when we first got there was how incredibly friendly each and every staff member was to us-from the bellman to the extremely professional and... more

Boarded the train at Elmhurst (a local suburb)after a crazy night out with old friends and in a little under an hour we were in Chicago. The area outside the main train station is a little 'shady' but we were soon in a cab heading for Sofitel Water Tower. We've both stayed here before and its location is great for... more

Spent a 3 day weekend at the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower and very much enjoyed it. The hotel is modern, the staff very welcoming and the location is outstanding. The hotel is very close to all the sights but since it is a block or so off Michigan Ave you don't walk out into a packed street. It's also close... more
