My wife and I spent one night at this hotel, as a short escape from being home-bound during the pandemic. We had a fantastic stay in all regards.
We booked the Sofitel romantic package, which included breakfast, a bottle of champagne, romantic gift, and late check-out. Rather than chocolate-covered strawberries as the welcome gift, they put a trail of rose petals from the door to the bed, and created a giant heart made with more rose petals. My wife loved it. A bottle of champagne was already in the room too. While there was an initial misunderstanding, the operations manager elevated our experience to ensure we had a magnificent stay, and that we did.
The hotel has many health safety precautions in place and we felt safe the entire time. The large room was clean and everything was in working order. The decor is inspiring, with many high-end touches. We also had a nice view of downtown from the 31st floor.
I was glad that Le Bar was open for take-away drinks. I ordered two cocktails and they were served in their usual glass barware for me to take back to our room. Their restaurant was also open for take-away orders. I placed our breakfast order with the front desk, then received a call shortly thereafter when the food was ready for pick-up. The eggs were done to perfection, the potatoes were well seasoned, and the bacon and sausage were fantastic. Toast, juice, and condiments were also provided.
I had another enjoyable stay and look forward to returning again to my favorite hotel in Chicago.
