Some of the city's finest restaurants are also located in the Old City Neighborhood which places the Sofitel in the middle of all that Philadelphia has to offer.

Smack Dab in the middle of everything
I've stayed at The Sofitel in Philly a number of times - most recently in September. The rooms are spacious - though not all have the best views. I LOVE the beds! The bar is nice - nice breakfast in the restaurant.
Location is the icing on the cake - smack dab in the middle of everything - with nearly every gay bars in the city within walking distance. By: Tom on October 15, 2008
Beautiful Hotel - Close to Everything
My company sends to Philly about 4 times a year - and I recently stayed at The Sofitel. It's a beautiful hotel - with a great location. It's contemporary - the rooms are like a standard hotel room - but spacious. The bathroom was nice (nothing worse than an icky bathroom) - and a really nice restaurant as well (the restaurant staff was very nice). Easy to hit Woody's or one of the bars for Happy Hour and then a 10 minute walk back to the hotel. By: Roger on March 27, 2008
