Verified reviews of Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Comfortable attentive staff relaxing environment perfect location"
Overall score5.0/ 5
Great hotel — the moment we arrived the valet, Phil introduced himself and assisted with our bags and parking our car. Amazingly he greeted me everyday by name for the length of our stay. We spent several afternoons/evenings in the bar where Tyler served our growing party of four (to twenty) with a smile and efficiency and no request was ever denied! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. The brunch/breakfast buffet was delicious and Heidi our server was pleasant and kept our coffee cups filled! Would highly recommend this hotel.

"Location in Philadelphia is great."
Overall score5.0/ 5
The Sofitel in Philadelphia is just off Rittenhouse Square and near many good restaurants. It is a safe and easy 6 block walk to the Kimmel Center, where I went this visit to hear the Philadelphia Orchestra perform. I find the bed is always super comfortable. The parking and concierge and front desk staff have always been very helpful and accommodating.

                                "I found your site very easy to use, and useful, and your staff helpful but not at all pushy. (I tried using another site that resulted in "sales" calls and won't use that site again. Conference planning is hectic/nutty enough without someone calling everyday to bug you! :-) Not only would I use you, but recommend you highly." L.F. - Berkeley, CA
