One of the best spots close to the lake in a beautiful neighborhood! You can’t beat the deal only thing could be better is dedicated parking. But you still can find a park nearby, overall one of the best hotels south of down town and really upscale

Our stay at the Sophy was worth the money spent! I was thrilled to walk into a room and see no fly away hairs on my sheets. This is such a turnoff for me, but wasn’t the case at the Sophy. Not to mention that we were in walking distance to the Obama Presidential Center. This was a win, win for us. We were surrounded by restaurants, clubs and stores which didn’t require us to Uber unless we wanted to do a special outing. My only negative would be that the carpets need shampooing and the toilet seat needs to be changed out (something that cost so little).

The hotel is close to a lot of restaurants. Due to the air conditioning not working in the hotel lobby the onsite restaurant and bar were closed which was unfortunate because a large group attending a wedding chose this hotel for the bar and restaurant so we could gather together.

This hotel was beautiful and well maintained - the room and bed were very comfortable but the best part of our stay was the staff. They are top notch, friendly, patient and helpful! The room latch tripped somehow and I locked myself out, and they were so sweet about it. The maintenance staff were there before I even got back to my floor and were kind and fixed the issue in 10 minutes! I can't say enough good things about the quality of the service at this hotel. And the neighborhood is great as well. Stay here and you won't be disappointed!

I enjoyed my stay at Sophy Hotel Chicago overall. The hotel has a beautiful decor and a warm, stylish ambience. The common areas were spacious and well maintained, and my corner suite was especially roomy and very clean. The staff were also friendly and pleasant throughout my stay. My biggest disappointment was the dining experience. There is no room service, which was inconvenient. I had breakfast at the restaurant and ordered an omelette, but it arrived hard and very brown. The staff were gracious about it and kindly offered me something else and reduced the cost, which I appreciated. I also had dinner at the restaurant, but unfortunately the food was just okay and lacked flavor. Given the overall quality and atmosphere of the hotel, I expected the dining experience to be stronger. Overall, Sophy is a lovely, comfortable hotel with beautiful spaces, spacious rooms, and friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.
