"Would Stay at the Sophy Again"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Conveniently located near the University of Chicago, the Sophy has fresh, stylish common areas and large rooms. The front desk staff was welcoming and friendly. We had a few meals at the restaurant and the menu was varied and interesting, although the bar area did get a little noisy. Our room was comfortable, offered unique decor, and was cleaned well when we opted for housekeeping.

A really great smaller hotel near the University of Chicago. Staff was very friendly and the general manager, Michael was very helpful and accommodating. Rooms are very nice and come with a vintage inspired record player.

From the moment we arrived, the experience at the SOPHY Hotel in Hyde Park was nothing short of amazing. The front desk staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great recommendations for local restaurants and things to do — and genuinely fun to chat with! A special shout-out to the maintenance team, who went above and beyond by crafting their own screwdriver just to fix my broken sunglasses. Talk about exceptional service! The location couldn’t be better — an easy drive to Lincoln Park Zoo, the beach, and Second City. Parking was simple to manage and just a short walk from the hotel. The room itself was out of this world — beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail and luxurious amenities. I absolutely loved the record player and vinyl selection, such a unique and thoughtful touch. Each day featured a new type of infused water in the lobby, which was a refreshing bonus. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between luxury and friendliness — elegant without ever feeling stuffy. We’re already planning to make this our yearly getaway because of the SOPHY Hotel. Highly, highly recommend!
