By far, the best property in the city of Chicago, in one of the coolest neighborhoods. Sophy is stunningly appointed, with an excellent on-property restaurant and bar. The team from Front Desk, to F&B, to Housekeeping provides excellent service and the property is clean and very well maintained. Highly recommended!

4th time I’ve stayed here. There’s no better spot in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Beautiful design with the best hospitality. Sophy’s attention to detail makes it one of my favorite hotels to come to. Great rooms-quiet and comfortable. Great common spaces to socialize, work, or whatever is keeping you indoors between trips out in the neighborhood.

I've been to Chicago countless times, but my trip to Hyde Park was something special! I celebrated my birthday there, and staying at the Sophy Hotel was an amazing experience from start to finish. Jennika, the Guest Supervisor, was super helpful and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. She even recommended some awesome places to check out nearby! I can't thank her enough for all her tips; I found some of my favorite stores thanks to her. I also can't forget to mention that Sam helped me with my luggage. Thank you so much and I'll remember to pack lighter next visit. Lol. I also had lunch at the hotel bar, and oh my goodness, the food was absolutely fantastic! I'd rate it a solid 10 out of 10 for quality and service. And I have to mention the drink called the Sweater Weather-seriously, the bartender was incredible! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Just returned home after a two night trip to Sophy. The room was well appointed with a full living-room, dining table and beautiful guestroom. The bathroom was beautiful with a double marble vanity, water closet, and seamless glass shower. But the biggest standout was the staff! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. I will be back.
