This was my first time at this hotel. It was very beautiful in the lobby and the rooms. It was spacious and very musically creative. I appreciated the albums in the room. Although, I couldn't get the record player to work properly. I enjoyed my food from the restaurant. However, the service from the restaurant was very slow that day. I would stay here again.

Wonderful accommodations and the General Manager, Michael, is absolutely terrific. Michael went above and beyond to find a solution for me that saved an important business meeting. This is the kind of customer care that is often lacking from most hotels these days and I will choose Sophy without question when my travels bring me back to Chicago.

Stayed here for our 35th wedding anniversary.  This is almost a state of the art hotel, literally.  The art on the wall, the aesthetics, the front desk staff, and the room's curtain technology is what impressed me. The door has a light indicator to alert the custodial service know if you will need service or privacy.

The parking: We were told either park a block away at a designated parking area or use limited handicap parking in the back of the hotel. The parking in back was tight.

Our room had a steamer instead of a traditional iron. No microwave oven in room. Besides these two things being an issue with me, I did enjoy my stay at the Sophy.

The hotel is warm and inviting. I was in town for a funeral. The location was ideal, since the funeral was on the South Side. The lobby is stunning. The food is delicious and the drinks did not disappoint. The room was an ample size and modern. Overall, its a cool vibe. I will be back.

A beautiful hotel and overall great experience! I stayed here for a work trip so my room was covered but I would stay here on my dime simply for the easy access to the Hyde Park neighborhood and the beauty of the place.

As someone who knows very little about art, even I was impressed by the paintings and sculptures found both in the main lobby area and throughout the rest of the hotel.

The staff was helpful and very kind! One note for others - to let house keeping know that you'd like your room addressed, you must press the button next to your door. I was not told this when I checked in and was very confused why after three nights nothing had been done to my room lol. However, when I went to the front desk, the attendant explained their system and offered to send house keeping up right away. Overall I would absolutely recommend the Sophy.
