Beautiful spot to relax after a long day
Business trip. Staff excellent and attentive. Bellman and car retrieval helpful with bags and friendly. Loved the robe and slippers! Appreciate boxed water & eco friendly sheet service. Suggest improving water pressure in room 1031, bit of a dissapointment.

Upscale convenient location
Pleasantly surprised, staff was amicable & property well kept up. Housekeeping did a great job. Breakfast was less than stellar at typical hotel prices though. One area they could step it up, didn’t notice fresh fruit, presentation etc. but the other attributes mostly outweigh this issue. Still heartedly recommend.

Warm and welcoming hotel.
The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly. Excellent customer service. The lobby/bar are gorgeous. Breakfast was fantastic. Everything was wonderful except for the bathroom. Although the products were lovely, the shower head was terrible and there was barely any water pressure. Also the towels are incredibly rough and uncomfortable.The bathroom definitely does not live up to the feeling of luxury that the rest of the hotel possesses.

Excellent center city hotel!
It had been years since I'd stayed at the Sofitel downtown and had forgotten how nice it was! The updated hotel bar is gorgeous. The hotel room was lovely and spacious - as was the bathroom. 10/10. I would definitely recommend staying here! Great location too.
