Amazing hotel in the Rittenhouse / Center City Area. We spent a fabulous 4 days at this hotel during the amazing 250th Independence Day celebrations. We were able to walk EVERYWHERE from going to the Art Museum for the fireworks (35 minutes) to the Old City Liberty Bell / Independence Hall (25 minutes) while perusing amazing architecture - new and old - shops and GREAT restaurants. Sofitel was such an oasis from all the walking with lively bar and lobby, relaxing spacious rooms, and delicious dining options for breakfast / brunch / lunch / afternoon tea / dinner. Superb staff like Muhammad the bellman, he pulls your luggage out while you are checking out. Umbrellas available all the time. Rooms are so clean and cleaned everyday, and oh the Balmain lotions / shampoo / conditioner / body wash - divine!! Love the food & beverage credits allowing you to try out their wonderful food options. We saw other lobbies of other nice hotels, many that were oddly on the second floor, but this lobby was inviting as soon as you step in. And amazing restaurants within a few blocks.
