"One of my favorite hotel rooms"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

A very comfortable room - with an uncommonly nice "living area". While we didn't have a suite our room with a king bed had an L shaped couch that we found worked great. We're visiting our son and it was nice to have him come up and visit with us in the room. He was even happy to have an option other than his!

"Lovely Hotel in Hyde Park, Chicago!"

The people at the Sophy are welcoming, helpful, and kind. This is my third stay and I love it. Also, as a musician, I love the quirky touches like the metronome and vinyl record player in the bedrooms. Though I didn’t take them up in borrowing a record. I love that that is part of the experience. Thank you!

I had to find a place to stay because of flooding in my apt., so came to The Sophy. It is such a lovely hotel. I'm an artist, so I notice artwork in spaces. Stunning. The staff is kind, friendly, helpful, charming. The Director of Guest Services, Kristopher, helped me with some questions I had. Alexis greeted me when I arrived, and I also had help from Joshua. All of them were so helpful and kind. Beautiful hotel, such great staff.

Reviewed March 24, 2025 NEW
Most comfortable bed and pillows in a hotel. The room is perfectly appointed with room to move around. It's quiet and the staff is so friendly! The restaurant at the hotel is very good, and there are many good places to walk to for other types of food if needed. The hotel is also secure after dark. Fitness center is great with several treadmills, a bike, stairstepper, free weights and mats.
