“More of the Best”

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 was thought of and I recommend this hotel very highly to anyone that wants a breathtaking experience from the moment you walk in the door.

“Will Never Stay At Another Hotel Again”

Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

7 Jul 2008

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 no Sofitel at my destination.The building is beautiful, the bathroom was gigantic (compared to other places). There was a bath and a shower. THe bed was the most comfortable bed ever and the room service in the morning never disappointed. I could go on and on but it was a magnificient stay and there is a cute little park across the street you should check out too

“Absolutely Fantastic Hotel”

Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

7 Jul 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

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 water. Staff were extremly helpful and friendly.

The reception area was fantastic with fresh flowers everywhere, the smell of which would greet you at the door. Can honestly say was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and cannot wait to return. Fantastic location close to everything.

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 service at night and bottle of water on each bed side table was a nice touch. We would defineitly recommend this hotel.

    • Liked — atmosphere
    • Disliked — the bed only had a comforter. We could have used a bed sheet so we could take the comforter off when the room was too warm

“Remarkable Architecture”

Sofitel Chicago Water Tower

1/1 found this review helpful

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. Sofitel is worth the extra $'s.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The bed and bedding are in a class by themselves.
    • Disliked — I suppose it would be better one block closer to the water tower...seriously nit-picking here...
