Sofitel Philadelphia at Rittenhouse Square

Staying near Rittenhouse Square was a great choice—lots of activity during the day made it easy to explore the area. Parking is valet-only, so I left my car with the concierge, which worked out perfectly. Breakfast options rotated between buffet and à la carte dining, and honestly, the buffet was the better option—fresh ingredients, wide variety, and delicious flavors. The hotel’s interior design is stunning, with elegant touches throughout the space. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. It’s clear the team pays attention to detail. A fantastic stay overall, and I’d definitely return.
