Lobby looks great, rooms are a bit older. Reception service was good, but valet parking moved things around in our car and gas was out - which made us suspect they used our car not just for parking (things that were on the passenger seat moved to the back?!)

Sofitel Rittenhouse....Still An Amazing Place to b
Staying at the Sofitel at Rittenhouse Square is always amazing. My opinion.... it's the best place and the best location to stay in Philadelphia. The lobby was redone since my last visit and it looked amazing. The room itself could use a bit of updating as it's beginning to show its age (but who isn't). The bed is still amazing, and the entire staff couldn't be nicer or provide better service.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
This hotel is a gem! I’ve lived in Philadelphia all my life so I never felt a need to book a hotel, but it was my birthday weekend so I treated myself to a little getaway and celebrated with some friends. When I walked into my suite, I was taken aback! IT WAS GORGEOUS. The staff is polite and the hotel has a peaceful aesthetic. I would book this hotel again!

Bed was a cloud
The wait staff at the restaurant bar was so friendly, but the best part of the hotel was the bed. This was the softest, most comfortable bed. Luke sleeping in a cloud.
