Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

10/10 Excellent

"As someone who has worked in luxury hotels before, I can say that my stay was INCREDIBLE. The Signature Suite was luxurious, clean, and comfortable. It’s all the little details that made our stay so extraordinary. The staff in particular were FANTASTIC. Houssem, Phil, and Rajin were particularly amazing, providing the highest level of service and making us feel right at home. Honestly, those employees alone made this stay a perfect 10/10. The food was fantastic, service impeccable, and the hotel provided a level of comfort I haven’t received from any other stay in recent memory. I will certainly be staying here again and could not recommend this hotel more highly."
