After extensive internet research (particularly trip advisor reviews) and assistance from family living near Chicago, we d Don't worry - as soon as you sign ecided on staying at the Sofitel Water Tower hotel. We were not disappointed! Extremely well appointed rooms and very comfortable beds. The concierge staff were very helpful and produced 'direction cards' upon request to all... more

But on a holiday wearing shorts and sneakers we felt we were not welcome. We felt it a pretentious business hotel. After almost 3 weeks of travelling, we choose this hotel from its ratings to end our trip in style. Got a great rate and was looking forward to our stay, and the room was great. After 3 weeks with... more

To start with the positives: - Good value for the quality of the room and location, which is excellent for a short stay - Room very well furnished and well decorated, with great views from a higher floor (and I think the views lower down would probably also be not half bad) - Everything clean enough, although bath had some... more

We stayed for 4 nights at the Sofitel, and I cannot say enough good things about it. I read a lot of reviews of a lot of hotels in Chicago before making a selection, and had not been in Chicago in 8 years, so I didn't know quite what to expect. This is the top tier of 4-star hotels. The... more

I have stayed here several times, usually weekends with my spouse. This place is my favorite in Chicago. Well appointed rooms, impeccable service, fantastic location. While its not the newest of the luxury hotels in Chicago (think trump ) it by far is the best in overall service. My room ws higher up, city view - definite plus if you... more

I was lucky enough to be taken here for a 50th Birthday treat, whilst I wouldn't go as far to say it is a luxury hotel it is 'very' nice. Very well appointed and tastefully decorated The staff are great, nothing is too much trouble, all extremely polite. As it was my birthday I had a lovely chocolate dessert brought... more

Chicago is an amazing city- friendlier than NY, cheaper and just as spectacular. The Sofitel chain is pretty impressive and the Chicago one is great. Excellent location, funky but not pretentious lobby, laid back and casual vibe. We were in shorts and Ts all holiday and no one questioned us once or asked to see our room key. Room was... more

Sometimes you just can't find fault with a hotel, even if you tried. Such was the case with Sofitel, where we'd never stayed before. It's a sleek, modern, sophisticated hotel with European touches. We spent three days there on a leisure weekend, we had a 29th floor king room looking directly at the Hancock Building, at a total cost including... more

Stayed 3 nights in July and could not have been more satisfied. Excellent location just a short walk from Michigan Avenue, trendy design and great service. The spacious corner rooms are highly recommended. Will definitely stay here again. more
