"An Exceptional Stay at the Sophy Hotel - A true Chicago Gem!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed August 15, 2025 NEW
I had the pleasure of staying at The Sophy Hotel in Chicago from August 8–11, and from the moment I arrived, I was absolutely impressed. The hotel blends modern elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my stay was perfect. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly—always ready with a smile and helpful recommendations. My room was beautifully designed, spacious, and spotless, with thoughtful touches that made all the difference—from plush bedding and a luxurious bathroom to curated local artwork that gave it a true Chicago flair. The location in Hyde Park was ideal—peaceful yet vibrant, with easy access to great dining, museums, and lakefront walks. The restaurant and bar on-site were exceptional, serving delicious food and creative cocktails in a stylish yet relaxed setting. Every aspect of my stay—from the impeccable service to the luxurious comfort—was flawless. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return.

Another truly awesome experience at the Sophy! Just not enough stars to give this place. The room, the staff, the food, the music, the positive energy vibe, the manager, and my favorite the amazing bartender. I love this place and hope to continue coming back for many years to come.

Wow! What an awesome hotel and experience. I so enjoyed my stay, my GORGEOUS and large room (and the bathroom), and the service. It's a beautiful hotel and really some of the best customer service I've had in many years. This was my second stay, but certainly will not be my last. Hats off to the GM who I had the pleasure to meet in passing. Well done! Side note: there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and a Target a few blocks away.
