Thanks to a combination of French chic and a convenient location, the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile is an extremely stylish venue from where to experience the very best of Chicago. Guest rooms offer a complete range of contemporary amenities and designer comforts with some delicious downtown surroundings helping you get into the swing of things straight from touchdown. As Navy Pier, Bloomingdales and the MCA are just a few steps from your front door it won't take too long to get amongst the action, with Lake Michigan's shoreline always providing the perfect setting on a warm day in the Windy City. After a good day spent sightseeing or browsing the boutiques, CDA is definitely the best destination to revive your senses with Le Bar offering an uber cool alternative to get you in the mood as you plan the night ahead. A 24-hour fitness room and free WiFi offer just a couple more reasons to stay at the Sofitel and if you're looking for any more, then just gaze upwards at the architectural designs of Jean-Paul Viguier, and you certainly won't be disappointed.

Best hotel in Chicago!!

As always our stay at the Sofitel was amazing! Great bar staff, great food, clean and nice rooms. Osbaldo the concierge knocked it out of the park with every recommendation and he was a gem. Peqoud’s pizza was awesome. Next time in Chicago I would not stay anywhere but the Sofitel

Three TripAdvisor points = average. I feel that’s a fair rating. Nothing stands out, or at least nothing if you call yourself a 5-star hotel.

- Shower had different types of hair stuck to the wall and blue shower gel spots (hotel products aren’t blue so it must be leftovers from a a prior guest)
Room was fine, small, very basic. Crooked basic light switches and no switches to really control anything centrally. Feels somewhat outdated.
Staff was very friendly. Location is the only thing 5-stars.

Excellent stay made perfect by staff

We had an excellent stay this August at the Sofitel-Chicago Magnificent Mile. Each staff member we interacted with went above and beyond to meet our needs. The front desk and concierge were so kind and gracious. The housekeeping and waitstaff were on point. Loved every moment.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sofitel this past weekend. The location was perfect and within walking distance to a lot of our favorite bars and restaurants that we went to throughout the weekend. Our contact at the hotel, Beau, was beyond helpful with assisting us with booking our rooms and was very responsive to any questions we had. The rooms were great and had incredible views of the city. We will absolutely be staying here again next time we come to Chicago!

Excellent Miracle Mile hotel with great service
Aug 12, 2024retiredscottsdaleScottsdale, Arizona
Excellent three-night stay in late July 2024 while on a tourist visit to Chicago. Paid a small supplement for a room on the 23rd floor. Very comfortable and quiet. The highlight of the stay was the charming and friendly Kia on reception in the afternoons/evenings. Great location adjacent to Miracle Mile.
